Really? And what have you found out so far besides you being upset over what happens to your genitals after death?

wow talk about mood whiplash

[moneyballer]

[It's been a few days since that network post robofucker made, so Asher assumes that if Keats was paying attention, he'd know about their missing hospital employee.

The next information he shares is grim, and so the text changes.]

That Adam Bristol is in a coma, apparently.

[He swallows hard.]

And his body is in DC.

this is par for the course

[headlining]

What, really? This IS news.

[Important news!]

Who discovered him? Are they treating him now?

[moneyballer]

A friend and I visited his mom.

[He still feels horrible about it.

Why, why did they not ask her how she was doing? She looked so sad and tired.]

I dunno about treating.

It sounds like they're just... Keepin' him there.

[headlining]

I see.

Did she tell you anything about her son? Anything strange that he might have done before he became sick?

[moneyballer]

Just that he was acting weird and on medication for something...

An ear infection, I think.

[headlining]

We have found out several people have gone to the hospital for unrelated illnesses (colds and the like) and have come away sick with the same zombie-related illness. Which is probably what happened with Adam as well.

Medication, though? Did she know what medication he was on?

[moneyballer]

I'm not sure, but Miles might remember-

[It is clear from the way the text eeks out, fragmented and in peculiar intervals, that the information he's discovered has upset him.]

I'll ask, we totes have notes somewhere...

[Adam Bristol was just a teenager.

Asher does recall that in Perdition's Rest, the Taraxa entered bodies in a similar way, didn't they? Through the ear, and after consuming their hosts, the bodies would just be hollow shells. Not quite dead, but uninhabited, soul-less. Perhaps he doesn't have the facts straight; this theory is too crazy.

Than what of the things people had found in the sewers? Their strange missing hospital employee. Something doesn't add up.]

[headlining]

Please do. We need all the clues we can get. At the moment, it might be possible this virus was spread intentionally through the help of someone...I'm sure you know, but we found clothing and such in the sewers, which connects to the hospital.

This whole sickness didn't just appear out of nowhere.

[moneyballer]

Yeaaaahhhh, all our leads point to the hospital.

And aliens or some whackass shit like that lmao???

[denzel crocker voice: ZYMANDIS]

I've heard some peeps talkin' about this whole zombie bull like it's sum kind of ploy 2 fuck with the timeline and get us here... fml

*fol??? (fuck our lives??? we're all screwed ig lol)

[headlining]

That might be likely. At this point, it's clear that this is sabotage of some kind, and while I'm hesitant to jump to any conclusions, an outside source that doesn't come from this world is a possibility...

I don't want to believe it's aliens. Then again, do they really have the technology to create viruses like this in the 1990s?

[moneyballer]

No, dude.

[At this point, Asher will take any explanation because a source means a solution could be within reach.]

They didn't.

[Aliens don't sound too weird to him, not anymore.

He has accepted that reality as he knows it no longer exists.]

Well whatever it is that's causin' this, I'm pretty sure we're not gonna like it.

Rev up, homie.

We're in for one wild ride.
