WEEK 2

[bathymetric]

So far, good news! You've managed to avoid killing! A week has passed in the facility, but how many more are there to go until one of you tries out Rule Seven? I mean.... we know, but.

No new areas just yet, it remains you guys and yours here for now. Well, and Angel, but again - you don't exactly see her unless you want to. It's more than a little lonely... maybe someone ought to shake things up.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 2, your first case week! Remember to turn in regains here, your AC for last week here, and if you like, come visit Angel's office hours here!

[ She leans in a little to check said simple leech out up close, scowling (or that's just her face), and prods at it with her index finger. ]

Your employers — they're the ones in charge of your directives. Is everyone you work under a researcher of [ yuck ] things like this?

[It squishes a little! There is nothing hard about this thing, like, at all. Just wiggles.]

We study diseases, actually. This thing just happens to thrive when we infect it with something that kills a lot of people, and we want to know why. It's not all disgusting, I promise.

[ Oh, gross! ]

You mean a lot of humans. [ She pauses. ] Sounds like an effective weapon. But it doesn't work on this... thing?

[fivestagegod]

Well, humans are people, so I meant both. [It's easy, though.] It actually infects more than just humans; it can jump between species pretty easily. So naturally some want to try to weaponize it, despite that being a generally terrible idea.

But no, it doesn't work on these.

Huh. [ ... ] If it was, what would be happening to it now?
