No. Back home. I was in charge of the quarantine. [And how how badly that went when Huey tampered with it.] The first strain we were able to control by introducing a genetically altered individual that made it impossible for the parasite to breed.

How many people have shown symptoms?

How does it seem to be spread? Through ingestion or some other contact? I assume it's not airborne.

What if you've been exposed to those other parasites at some point? Would there be a risk of the physical damaging you?

What do you mean "fate of the universe"?
