[It took him some days to convince himself that he needed to this. Normally, he would ask around the streets, rub elbows or beat whoever he had to in order to get information. This wasn't exactly a normal situation, and he had mostly been trapped in a library - who'd have thought? - to avoid, well, everything.

Sleeping on books wasn't the worst. Neither was sleeping on the floor. Now, he needed real information, and with the body count apparently rising, he was pressed to actually ask.]


This here place sure is something else. Can't say I care much to experience more than I already have...

[Joel wasn't one to do anything but go straight to the point. The opening sounded awkward, like he didn't want to jump in but knew he had to.]

Anyone around these parts know of cordyceps? Could also be called 'infected' by some. Distinct lack of government sanctioned fencing and checks around these parts, so I'm gonna assume angry moon and bloody streets is more this places problem.

[Then he cuts off the feed. That's it. That's his question. Introductions are for other people.]

[Skye has heard the term 'infected' from Lev, which makes it pretty evident that this guy must be from the same world.]

Infected as in zombies?

Cordyceps? Like the ants whose heads explode with fungus?

(Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah.)

Dunno if it was the same exact thing you're talking about but we definitely had something like it a while ago. I treated a few people with it.

(Not all of them successfully, but that's...kind of a given, he feels.)

Back home, everyone is infected. If we die, even if we weren't bit by the walkers, we turn. Unless someone....deals with it before that point. The brain, the head, I mean. Sparing them. We called them walkers. I don't think they were quite like what you describe with the government fencing, calling it cordyceps but. Close enough, I guess.

[Zombies. She means zombies. She just calls them walkers back home because they can't seem to shamble along faster than walking pace.]

Yeah, I've heard of them. Or... I guess a different type. Mine are called walkers, super not fun deadheads who shuffle around and eat people. Super rude.

[There's a lot more of them showing up lately and that should be a concern. He tries to keep a mental tally of people from zombie worlds, because you never know.]

How does yours work? Ours is a 'if you die you turn' kinda deal and that's always important to keep track of in a place actively trying to kill us all the fucking time.

[Have a blond gent in black under a lab coat, typing something off screen, whilst wearing dark glasses even in average, slightly clinical lighting. The clacking keys pause and he turns toward the Fluid.]

An endoparasitoid fungus, which generally infects insects and other arthropods? I'm familiar with it, though probably not in the way you're enquiring. Something about the way you used the word 'Infected' leads one to suspect it's broadened its range of adaptation. [Spoken in a calm, husky baritone, with a hint of a professional curiosity.]

I've seen no sign of that, though according to some of the history I've read, there have been similar outbreaks in the past.
