Who: Nova, Zexion, anyone
When: Day 58, Late Morning/Early Afternoon
Where: Level 3 common area
What:

[There are a pair of teenagers taking up space in here today. One looks like he's just some chainsmoking jerk (accurate). The other looks much more together and approachable, dressed neatly and carrying himself with a calm, if serious attitude. Both of them are trying to get your attention, but it's the chainsmoking jerk who speaks up first, loud enough for anyone nearby to hear.]

Oi, I know this isn't some proper fucking meeting, but there's some serious shit that everyone deserves to know about going on right now. Some new, fucked up jungle sickness that's starting to turn up. We need to talk to anyone who knows someone that's slipped into a coma, and anyone who's interested in how to help with people who have.

[The calmer of the two clears his throat, leveling an even look at him]

. . . And we can explain what we know about it even if you don't know a victim or want to help.

A holiday turn case, though we were really just passing through. My french is poor compared to Holmes'.

Good to know some things don't change.

[amused] C'est vrai?

True ... truths? Dear God I am rusty. Not to mention the French I learned in the army certainly wasn't quite so polite.

[that gets a big smile]

Ah ha, I'll attest to that!

[relaxing with a laugh of his own]

I should stop being surprised.

Self-righteous men will always exist to point fingers, doctor. Don't let it sit on your conscious.

Yes, well. It always hurts the most when it's true.

Just because it's the truth doesn't mean it's right.

[... slow nod]

We need to finish the clinic.

[Understands what he means.]

Is there anyone you suggest talking to for more information? They said they spoke to Dellen. What about the others?

Ah - Eizon is assisting with the construction of "memory pods." Technological, keeps them in some kind of suspended animation, no further medical assistance required. Albinia can give us more standard medical equipment, though as always, Dellen is the most expedient option.

Eizon, Albinia, Dellen. Right.

When you get a chance, I would like to see the spot you've picked.

... are you feeling up to a walk about the 4th floor now?

No time like the present?

Then I shall lead the way. As long as you tell me when you start to tire.

I would like to feel I've accomplished something other than get out of bed today. I think I'll manage. [smiles a bit self-deprecatingly]

You say that as though resting isn't an accomplishment in and of itself.

[... also a bit self-deprecatingly]

I am, how to say, leveling up.

And playing video games in your spare time now?

[up to the 4th floor]

Someone had one of those boxes with the games in the apartment. A lot of hand and eye coordination from what I could see.

That is essentially how they work, yes. Though I admit I'm not much of a fan.

I'm surprised considering your fascination with your mobile.

That's more of a necessity. Hard to get along in the modern era without one.

And it wouldn't be possible to make more of those mobile things then? To pass around?
