[Fiona is a little out of breath, like she just hustled very quickly away from somewhere. Which she did, but that's neither here nor there. The background behind her is some innocuous wood panelling; she's in a house.]

Okay. So. Crunch time. Things are getting nuts out there, if you didn't notice. We are gonna wind up super screwed if we don't hop to figuring out what the hell to do.

[She holds up a vial. It has some alien writing on it, as well as a familiar symbol on the label.]

We found this inside the hospital. A shit-ton of them, actually. So who wants to find out what Zymandis asshole is responsible for this mess and beat an antidote out of them?

[Again? With Shiro sick and some other people not looking great themselves, Keith is ... oddly relieved to find out that there's a conspiracy. A conspiracy is something that he can fight.]

Whoever it is works there. If you need someone well enough to fight, I'm in.

[cachemoney]

[Fiona's feeling frustrated and helpless herself, so, yeah. Something that she can shoot at is something of a relief. She feels u, bro.]

Once we figure out who the hell it is. It's a big hospital.

[secondnature]

If we can set up surveillance, I might have an idea. I found some hospital scrubs down in the sewers. If we can figure out who's headed down there ... or is heading down there, we might be able to stop them.

[He pauses for a beat.]

Assuming, of course, that it's just one person. Or ... alien. What are the odds that the taraxa are at work again?

You sure we can even get an antidote out of 'em?

[araigneedusoir]

I may be able to give a jumping off point.

[She's a little more irritated then normal, but thankfully it doesn't show in her voice.]

One Dr. Percy. I was in the maternity ward and noticed he spent more time doodling on patient's files rather than filling out notes.

[feytality]

[She's here too!!]

We know their dirty secret now! We can squeeze it out of 'em!

[cachemoney]

I don't think it's the Taraxa. They can go into people's brains, so why would they need to use a virus?

[She taps the label: the Zymandis logo.] There are a lot of different types of people -- species -- in ALASTAIR. Why wouldn't Zymandis be the same? Either way, they're like us. Outsiders. So we need to find someone who doesn't fit into this stone age planet.

[feytality]

Are you sure he wasn't just slacking off...?

[secondnature]

Hold on a second. [He raises a hand up so that she can listen to him.]

They need to destroy this planet because they're here to do the opposite of us. Earth has billions of people. A virus is gonna work a lot more quickly than slowly turning people braindead.

[feytality]

Seriously? In the sewers? Are they trying to raise a bunch of teenage mutant ninja zombies or something...?

[araigneedusoir]

[She huffs.]

On every single file filled out under that name? I doubt so.

[secondnature]

Uh, what?

[The reference is here.




His head is here.]

They're creating an entire world of zombies. You've noticed, right?

Zymandis again? They really do keep busy.

[Of course, their organization may be far larger, based on the information they've had access to. He puffs out a tense breath]

I question whether it's as simple as applying force, but we should do something.

[cachemoney]

[She just gently... pushes... Maya away. Shhh.]

They have to have something. What if their own agents got infected?

[feytality]

[DUCKING UNDER HER ARM she's going back in there]

Plus, they must have gotten a lot of vaccines!

audio | un: Sasaki

[ex_adept136]

That is a bit suspect at a hospital of that size... You'd think someone would have noticed.

[Which begs the question of whether others are aware and involved]

[feytality]

Maybe it's his sensitive, artsy side peeking out...?

[feytality]

[dishonour on your cow, Keith]

Yeah, but the sewers. Next you're going to tell me pizza delivers down there, and there's a giant rat watching cheesy drama?

[Anything? Anything????]

[She looks hopeful]

[cachemoney]

[She makes a sharp, open-palmed gesture, like she's asking him to continue.] If you have any other ideas...

[feytality]

[it's her sugar mama!!!]

Whaddya mean, keep busy? What else have the xylophone creeps been up to...?

[secondnature]

No one would deliver pizza to a sewer unless they could pay.

[Sorry, Maya. He's from an adaptation of another 80s cartoon.

And pop culture ignorant on top of it.]

Can they? Because if they're living in the sewer, they probably can't.

[cachemoney]

Dr. Percy. [She's frowns, quiet, like that might mean something to her. Unfortunately... it doesn't... so.]

Oh-- the maternity ward. Did you get bitten or anything? It was freakin' scary in there.

[respired]

This 'doctor' will face justice for his crimes.

[ WHICH IS TO SAY: DEATH ]

[araigneedusoir]

[She's silent a long moment.]

That's a dreadfully stupid time to decide to let one's inner artist out.

[cachemoney]

[DON'T TELL HER TO BE QUIET WITH HAND GESTURES, KEITH!!! She gets a disgruntled look on her face right away.]

I mean, whatever, I'm just saying. Let's not go around just assuming we can fight this guy... or guys. The same way we did the last time. Keep our options open.
