the range of ages on the team is a pretty wide split, but as far as the team working on the cure, Peter is the second oldest. which says more about how young the other two are, really, because nineteen, technically twenty thanks to all the time he's spent here? it's not that old, by the standard of most.

he's lived a lot in twenty years, though... and his time in Audentes really hasn't slowed much down. sacrifices in Nalawi, minds wiped by a parasite in Perdition's Rest, and now an entire city paralyzed by the progressive spread of an incredibly destructive virus? even parenting a squidge had forced him to be more of an adult than he was.

at least he's already used to it. )

We're trying to. ( they don't have an option of failure, either, so they're going to have to keep pushing until they find an answer. his eyebrows drop at the mention his work was more valuable. ) That's not true. Without you, things could be escalating out of control right now. If there weren't anyone to contain the riots, what would happen? We need people like you. You're giving us the time we need.

( and boy... did they need it. )
