[Text] Checking In

[governmentninja]

Hey all,

Long story shot, things have gotten insanely busy for me at work. So much so that I've barely had time to come up for air. I've got a few minutes now, though, so how has everyone been?

Hey, sweetie.

I'm just on the computer for work... there's this whole thing going on in Los Angeles that I think I'm going to take a role in. How's work?

[locked]I think somebody's infecting people with T-Veronica. I'm going to find out who.[/locked]

Work is crazy. I've got another fourteen hours on my flight before I get air dropped into a jungle.

[locked]What!?

Jesus. Do you have any leads?[/locked]

...tell whoever it is you're going after that if they shoot you, they'll have to deal with me.

[locked]I recognize the symptoms. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's Veronica.

I've got a couple, and the LAPD is taking this kind of personally since a bioweapon just trashed one of their morgues. I think I'm going to go have a talk with the victim's boss in a bit.[/locked]

I'm sure that'll put the fear of God into them, beautiful.

[locked]Is the bioweapon still on the loose?

The LAPD will likely be kind of stingy with this regardless, but still make sure a sample gets forwarded to STARS.[/locked]

Damn right it will.

[locked]No, it burned itself out while it was fighting me. At least, that's my guess... it eventually just fell over and died.

Yeah, I already took care of it. The real trick is making them feel like they're being told everything while not telling them what I can't tell them, if that makes any sense at all.[/locked]

Hn... well, that seems to fit with the reports I've read on T-Veronica. Very unstable unless slowed down by freezing the subject, right?

That makes perfect sense, actually. One of the tougher aspects of this is filtering out certain bits of info. I find it easier to not mention certain things as opposed to lying or even telling them "it's classified".

Yeah. Unless the carrier's in cryogenic storage, it mutates instantly and goes nuts. I think... it sounds like what happened is that somebody infected a guy with it so he'd trash his office, then die.

They need to teach a course on consistent lying or something.

Hn... How long until the T-Veronica virus starts mutating it's host? Depending on that time frame, that could help narrow down suspects.

...They do teach a course on that. Several courses, actually.
