The medical records were updated, and the tech the virus isolated. The illness eventually waned in all of the infected, especially as they saw treatment. Eventually all of the vicitims would remember what they had done and would feel incredibly sheepish about their actions.

The initial infection source, that is to say how the sauce was contaminated, was never fully identified. The best anyone can determine a bad worm was mixed in and the conditions aboard Challenger were just enough to mutate and expand the pathogen.

All and all, a job well done and a tidy bow for Christmas.
