video + text; Virus Zombie PSA (backdated to an hour or so after J's post)

[So remember that cheery blonde asking people to come screw? Guess what! She's back on camera already. Only the call's coming from Rinzler's MID (didn't he kill her that one time?), and J looks to have undergone some fairly rapid... changes.

First? She's a technozombie!

Second? Extra dead.

Her skin is dull and grey, split apart in papery, cracked lines that show the glow of circuitry beneath. Her eyes are flat and hollow, glinting dimly in the light above, as if the switch behind them was burned out. Her head lolls to the side at a twisted, malformed angle, and the slice visible through one collarbone is oddly bloodless. What liquid does ooze out is black.

The camera lingers for a long moment, only the low ticking rumble of Rinzler's noise offscreen to break the silence. Then, several lines of text scroll out below the screen.]


Active virus detected.
Affects users. Infected subjects: hostile, attempting to spread.


[Shepard starts talking before she's on camera, allowing for the image to assist in her addition to Rinzler's information. Her voice is urgent, stern — and a touch strained.]

This is a red alert. Something on board is turning crew into beings called husks. They're the result of organic cells being replaced with psychological and physiological-controlling synthetic material.

[As the camera shifts to her, the source of the strain is clearer — she's attempting to patch up a wound to the gut in a hurry. More discerning types may identify it as a gunshot wound.]

See a friend, but they're looking a little different? Keep your distance, and let us know. It's not a exactly your traditional virus, but any bite or scratch can open up a host site, and turn you, too.


Private to: Nihlus

Location?


[[ooc: Monolith Plot continues! Red is Rinzler; orange Shepard—they'll both be responding to non-privated threads.]]

Something was affecting his mind, trying to make him lead me somewhere.

I was able to untangle it and push it out, but he didn't look like that. Not yet.

So as long as the transformation hasn't progressed too far, you think you might be able to stop it?

[personal profile] seeingscarlet 2016-11-28 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so. I might be able to shield someone too, but I haven't seen what causes this.

It probably won't affect me. I think.
squadgoals: (wow more work thank you so much)

[There's a rush of relief as she reads the text, and glances at Rinzler to tell him — but he's gone??? She shakes her head. Probably just a temporary thing.]

Thank you for letting me know. That's incredibly helpful.

Is it alright if I key in a quick-alert to send you, in case we find someone before they've turned?

Yes. I am not as fast as my brother but I will hurry.

[And a moment later, because Rinzler did have a point but she trusts Shepard more:]

It was Asriel.
squadgoals: (did I feed those stupid fish)

[personal profile] squadgoals 2016-12-03 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Asriel. Well, that wasn't one she'd seen coming.]

Again, thank you. I'll definitely keep it in mind. It's enough to know you have confidence in your ability, and that it's been proven to work.

Take care of yourself, Wanda.
