This is Sieglinde Sullivan, the Green Witch.

I shall not waste my time or yours with much pleasantries. The situation is dire, as you know.

Several of our number have been working tirelessly to develop a vaccine to this virus, and hopefully a cure.

Tests of the vaccine are proceeding smoothly, and we have seen positive results so far- it may be available within one or two weeks time if all continues to go well and no adverse effects present themselves.

I cannot guarantee nor estimate potential cures, and it is not my intent to elevate your hopes, but know that we have several leads we are exploring. Samples of blood, particularly from those of the non-humans within our ranks who are or may be immune to the virus, are much needed at this time if you have not already been solicited.

To protect against the possibility of contamination, four of us have set up in separate locations.

Urahara Kisuke, in the hospital laboratories. Peter Parker, in the university laboratories. Sonia Nevermind, at her apartment residence, 20B of Woodhurst Court. I myself have relocated from the hospital to a residential office, at 45 Pinehurst Drive.

Samples or supplies are welcome there. The others may speak for themselves, but in my case, I will not tolerate any distractions or intrusions, so please do not abuse the knowledge of that address.

[ooc; just a note from some of the Team Science members so that characters can have a better IC idea of what's going down on that front! Stay tuned for more OOC and IC info on/near the 25th!]

Thank you for this, Sieglinde.

As a note, it will take me a day or two at most to transfer everything I need as I have very little at home to work with, after that I will be fully set up there instead.

I would also like to add that if anyone would wish to visit I would prefer a notification beforehand as well.

[ That or at some point you may be unlucky and have Giovanni answer the door if he's home :) ]

[grunehexe]

It is nothing, Sonia.

I hope the next time we post to this network will be with success.

A good news, that's a nice change. Keep up the good work.

What kind of supplies do you require? [ Straight to the point ]

[grunehexe]

We shall.

Nonperishable foods will be welcome if the situation outside worsens. I also need a large quantity of batteries or a generator.

I'm human, but. I'm not infected? If you need a, what's it called, a control sample or something? If I come see you or one of the others, Sieglinde-chan?

[grunehexe]

Thank you, Sakura.

Any samples could be of use at this point, so whichever location is convenient for you.

[ Hey Sieg, it's good to hear from you. ] I cannot guarantee immunity, but I have not exhibited any of the symptoms.

What kind of supplies do you require?

[grunehexe]

That is reassuring just to hear.

In my case it is mainly foodstuffs, as well as electricity. I do not suppose you are aware of how to repair a blown fuse?

TEXT | un: huntsman

[dishearten]

if you need volunteers for testing the vaccine, or the cure... I'm willing.

my blood is not unusual, but you're welcome to it. let me know if there is anything else I can do, Sieglinde.

[grunehexe]

Thank you, Graham.

I shall take it if you will give of it.

( hopefully his username gives him away as the Peter from the post. Peter doesn't bother with an introduction. )

metahuman samples are great, but any are still important. if you haven't donated yet, consider it. it could get us the last step we need.

as for supplies, I'm good. send it to the quarantine zone.

[grunehexe]

[Clear username highfive]

[strictdiscipline]

Is there any one of you in particular collecting samples or will a visit to any of the locations work?

[Then, because it's been some time since she's last spoken to him:]

How are you doing?

I've been having some success pulling down WHO data, although it's always a few days old by the time it's kicked to the server. Welcome to 1993. I have some progression charts, but I don't think they tell us anything we didn't already know. So I'm willing to be a data entry flunky for whoever needs it. Some biomed experience, more on the bio than the med.

Also willing to be an errand boy and coffee fetcher.

[grunehexe]

That sort of assistance could be useful. My notes are written at the moment, and have no access to a "personal computer", but one of the others may be served well with your experience- perhaps at the hospital, they have better equipment.

To clarify, you mean this world's health organization?

[She's glad she did a lot of reading at the library before the outbreak- this world loves abbreviating things.]

If you need samples I can go out and get some for you and the others.

[ Might as well put his investigator skills to some use, right? ]

[grunehexe]

The more samples we have the better our chances.

[predomination]

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. I know you're all frightened, but we appreciate your patience. The good news is in a matter of months we've done what most scientists couldn't have done in years.

I'll be stopping by the quarantine every day to work on setting up a small station we can use on site for taking samples, so anyone who is quarantined won't have to risk going out and we can keep the samples from being handled too much.

Some types of blood are

More volatile than others.
There may be other dangers.

[ saying this for a friend. ]

[grunehexe]

I am aware of the dangers. We are aware.

But if there was a particular sample you wished to consult about... ? My ears are yours.

[u no u wanna donate]

Hello. I've given some of my blood to Peter, if it's already reached you. My blood contains a factor that identifies and sequesters foreign agents, though I lack significant medical expertise so maybe it's better if you see it for yourself.

The factor cannot be given to other people, though. Other than that, I can help you run errands.

[ She has the strength of five men, that should be enough. ]

[predomination]

Now that's interesting. Even if the factor is nontransferable, the antibodies might still be potent enough.

[ The grave tone of the message implies there's no time for lengthy catch-ups over the network, though Aqua quietly wonders how the girl has been faring in these past many months. (...Despite the grim circumstances, it heartens her to know someone of Sieglinde's talents is working on a cure.) ]

I'd be glad to offer some of my blood for testing, though I'm not sure whether I qualify as either non-human or immune.

[ She might consider herself to be a normal person, and (probably) resilient to the virus, but it's never a sure or simple thing where magic is involved. ]

[grunehexe]

[No, there isn't time... but she wishes there were. It's been... since Nalawi? Too long.

But the virus is raging, and-]

Aqua. It is good to hear from you.

And a sample would be welcome either way.

@shirogane

[racking]

If you need a test subject for the cure, you can use me. I can't offer any other help beyond that.

Are your locations protected?

[grunehexe]

That sort of help is still appreciated. If we can manage something worth testing, I shall inform you.

Relatively. The hospital is most at risk, I believe, from threats within.

text; un: anonymous

[skelepun]

'fraid i'm bone dry on the blood side of things, but you mentioned lab setups... can i ask what sorta testing you're doing? methodology, all that jazz?

[grunehexe]

That would depend. Are you offering expertise?

text; un:kazbrekker

[steler]

Is there anything else that you'll need, aside from the samples?

[grunehexe]

It seems like I've a good share of people willing to donate food, so samples remain the priority, yes.

text; un: swan

[sheriffing]

I've been in contact with Peter for samples. Do you need anything else?

[grunehexe]

We are all sharing data on the samples, but if you are willing and able to donate again... ?

text; un: vaughn (5,000 years later i'm sorry)

[moneyman]

I'm about as human as you can get, so I'm not sure how helpful it'll be, but you guys can have as much of my blood as you want. I know Sonia, so I'll contact her about it. I'd be more than willing to help move supplies around, too. Anything I can do to help at all, really.

[ not that he's super invested in the possibility of a cure or anything. ]

And, yeah, thank you for doing this. We're lucky to have you guys here.

welcomes!

[grunehexe]

[Oh, if it is not... that fellow. The one Olivia was around.

That fellow.]

Human is still a welcome sample, we will benefit from a variety when it comes to testing any potential cures, so if you can get to Sonia or myself the donation would be most appreciated, master... Vaughn?
