WEEK 5

[bathymetric]

That's three murders now - and this last trial got more than slightly out of hand. It looks like you might be in for another tough week... or at least, maybe that's just the refusal of this place to change too much. You lose Saturday again, but maybe six-day weeks are starting to feel normal by now. Who knows? The cycle of day and night continues apace, changing so little.

Speaking of change, though, there's a new area to look through, the biggest and most complex yet. And the end of one wing of the facility, from the looks of it - though you can probably guess where more areas might start to open up.

And speaking of opening up (segues!), this week if you're out particularly late, you might sometimes see Angel out and about! So hey, maybe change is on the horizon.

Just gotta hope it's a change for the better, don't you?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 5! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! Or, if you want Angel to come to you, that's now an option! Simply put a prompt after lights-out into your toplevel and indicate you want Angel in the subject line, same as investigations! ]

[He laughs a bit; don't worry, we're cool.]

Hey, it's fine. Usually I'm more concerned with different stuff than you guys are when it comes to tests like that - I'm usually more worried about how much "my" blood has been contaminated, you know? Some testing agents are pretty hard on the RNA left behind.

Granted, nowadays I'm usually kept as far from live scenes as possible. Samples, yes. Blood that was just spilling out of a person, not so much.

[...I mean, he's mentioned the general presence of zombies during trials, so that's probably understandable.]

[ From the reaction that he had when she went about touching poor Piers, yeah, something tells her that it isn't exactly the safest line of work-- ]

Yeah, that...definitely seems like the kind of thing you wouldn't want to get on or in you, God forbid. Especially considering they might be carrying something you guys are colloquially calling, you know, Nemesis.

[ What a thing to contract. ]

[fivestagegod]

Nemesis was actually created in a lab, seeing what happened if we introduced the already-existing virus that's in the process of killing everyone to another factor that we thought would mitigate it.

It did not, in fact, mitigate it.

[snackooed]

[ ...Ah. ]

It...made it worse, huh?

[ Good grief. ]

[fivestagegod]

Did it ever.

Needless to say, that was shut down extremely quickly.

[snackooed]

I would definitely imagine...but, well, I suppose if there's a chance it'll help, it probably doesn't hurt to try, so long as you have a good procedure in place to handle things if they don't go according to hypothesis, right?

[ It's...not quite that easy, huh? ]

[fivestagegod]

We're a BSL-4 lab, so our containment capabilities are strong. Which is good, because we're all collectively at a point where we're trying everything we can.
