[With all the information coming out, it's apparent to Keith and Lance that one big elephant in the room has been ignored: the infection among the recruits themselves. Keith is tired and on edge, as he needs nothing to do with the infection to be cranky. Lance is jittery, too. But they have to talk about that elephant before it gets too late.

And for some of them, it might be. That's what Keith is really afraid of right now.]

Hey. It's Keith.

and ya boy, lance! [Because things are already pretty doom and gloom as it stands, and maybe things could use a little lightening up? Or something...

It’s a little more difficult to differentiate between people in a group message like this, but it’s a better idea to get something down on text in case they need to refer to it later, and anyone who knows either of the boys can probably tell them apart pretty easily through diction alone.]

we know your mind-phones have been pretty busy lately, but theres something keith and i wanted to talk to you guys about.

Before we get a move on in attacking Zymandis' agent, we need to look at our own numbers. A lot of us are sick. Maybe less than I thought. Or maybe more. Either way, we have to know who's sick and make a plan to help our own. And I'm serious about HELPING. Not putting someone out of their misery or any of the other stupid stuff I've heard from some of this team. We need to stop this disease. We need to help our own. Once everyone's BETTER, we'll make a plan for what to do next as a team.

[It's harsher than necessary but likely less harsh than how it might be normally, given Keith's frequently frustrated tone of voice. Text mitigates some of it, even if his frustration definitely does become CAPITAL LETTERS.

Lance, meanwhile, is quite eager to gloss over that sharp reprimand because seriously guys — kumbaya.]

yeeeeeah, so — helping! getting a head count is definitely ideal. we cant afford to be silent on this and we definitely CANT be alone right now, cuz every one of us affected and on our own can be a huge risk to everyone here. so we were thinking… since the city shut it down, we can use the middle school. those of us infected can stay there while we wait for our people to find that cure. like a quarantine safe house.. i know its not ideal, but its something. especially for those who dont have any other contingency plans.

[A pause. Well. May as well get the ball rolling, right?]

ill be there.

( ooc; p.s. there is an information plotting post for the quarantine space! )

What's our head count so far?

[Likely there are people who haven't spoken up yet, but the closer they are to actual numbers the better they can assess potential threat damage.]

[ lance does a quick run-through—

there's him, shiro, hanzo, zenyatta, daenerys, sonia, lancer, nyuu... ]

eight, so far

[ his gut tells him there's way more than that, but with no way to prove it... ]

[strictdiscipline]

[At least 10% then. That's not a promising statistic.]

How many of those are participating in the quarantine?

[competing]

[ not when they've yet to hear about a cure, no. ]

so far...? seven
still trying to convince one
you might actually have better luck with that than me

[ what with him being your """""""husband"""""""" and all ]

If you require more guards, I can offer my assistance. Like Naruto's, my ink clones cannot be infected.

[That's the first order of business. As for the second:]

I can also provide restraints for when individuals lose their ability to control themselves.

So long as those clone-thingies doesn't overwork you, then we'll gladly take them.

As for the other stuff, we'll, uh. We'll keep that in mind.

It will be fine. My chakra reserves are not as extensive as Naruto's, but clones will not be a problem unless I find myself actively engaged in combat simultaneously.

Yeeeeah, we're definitely all trying to avoid any kind of combat here.

[daimeinashi]

That would be preferable, yes, but it is possible that we may need to do so nonetheless. Especially if other infected happen to come upon the quarantine site.

I dunno, isn't there a way to like... put them to sleep? Without, you know... putting them to "sleep"?

I do not possess anything like sedatives, unfortunately. However, I am familiar enough with anatomy to knock them out temporarily without causing permanent harm--which is what I intend to do, but there is still always the possibility of a struggle ensuing.

Look, I'm not saying don't do what you have to do if you have to do it, just... If there's a way to avoid it getting too serious, please do that?

[daimeinashi]

I do not intend to cause unnecessary harm.

[listen he's not killing any infected, sai thinks that's a good enough concession to Sentiment over here. but sometimes u just gotta break a kneecap or two for the sake of the mission.]

Good to know. Thanks.
