Alita liked the way Cel was thinking and would certainly make note of it if she ever got around to writing the report Remy would probably want.

“Hmmm, but what’s more favorable to this pathogen?” she asked.

“That is assuming that the pathogen is intelligent and is specifically targeting people,” said Wells, “I believe it doesn’t have a specific goal other than roaming around the ship until it can find a body to infect.”

GM

Celador shook his head. “I’m thinking more along the lines of a mouse to a mouse trap. There is obviously something about us that attracts it. If we can find out what that is, we can simulate a more tempting place for it.”

-Cel

“Again, Ensign, a mouse has intelligence. This bacterial-viral combination does not. Granted, it does consume food and procreate, but it would not actively seek out food specifically or hide specifically for the mere act of it. It more likely wanders aimlessly until it encounters something,” said Wells.

GM

Alita frowned a bit.

“I like your idea but I’m not certain it would work. Viri and bacterium don’t simply vacate, they spread. So wouldn’t we be causing more of a problem?” she asked in frustration.

• Alita, MO/COS

“Aye. And we don’t have the time to go looking for a better hotel room for the little bastards. We need to kill it, here and now.” and then he scowled and said =/\= Computer. Identify any spaces on the ship that can protect personnel from baryon energy. =/\=

Ahearn, CSO

OOC: Great. It’s nice to know that all the technical specs from the WeBBSpace are unavailable… sigh Oh well, that just means more limiting options for the crew.

IC:
“None at the moment,” chirped the computer, “Field diverters can be established to protect certain areas of the ship from baryon sweep.”

GM

Celador just shrugged his shoulders then found a dark portion of the wall to lean against. While he was confidant he was right, he wasn’t a scientist so had no place in this discussion.

-Cel

Ahearn scowled. Jabbing at his comm badge, he said =/\= Science to Engineering. What would be the time frame on getting field diverters set up in the cargo bay to protect from a baryon sweep? =/\=

Aheran, CSO

=/\= Engineering here. Um… 8 hours, sir? 4, if we had assistance from other departments. We’re a little short-staffed. =/\= said an NE

GM

Alita looked at Ahern.

“Cel and I will do it our damned selves if we need to.” she snapped.
