I’m going after the thing we saw on that security feed. My associate and I want a few people who know what they’re doing.

The goal is one or two small teams to do the dirty work, but medical personnel or anyone with experience in containing potentially biohazardous material is also appreciated. We can hunt the thing down and neutralize it, but we’d like to capture it if we can, which means we’ll need a containment method.

Might save everyone a few trips to the decontamination center if the Savrii can determine what it is and if it’s actually dangerous. If you're interested, inquire within. If I don’t know you, be prepared to talk about your skill set. We’ll compensate you for your time.

[ Avoiding decontamination sounds like a plus to Snake. Even if it might be necessary, he's pretty much done with submitting himself to unexplained tests. For six hours. Besides, if Jack is taking the lead on this, Snake's fairly certain they'll get somewhere. The guy led an international peacekeeping organization for years, he's got to know how to get things done. ]

I think you more or less know my skill set by now. If you think it'll help, I'm in.

[WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A GREAT. TIME.]

Glad to have you on board. Do you know anything about this that I don't?

[soldiergenes]

Probably not. Just seems like people who visited that asteroid are having side effects. Can't say I'm surprised.

[ If something smells, well. It's usually for a reason. ]

[mylawn]

Knew that place was bad news, but I can’t say I blame anyone for going. Curiosity gets the better of us.

[soldiergenes]

I needed to see what they were doing firsthand. Sounds like some people who went are doing worse off, though. For now I'll count myself lucky.

[mylawn]

The people who had procedures done.

[soldiergenes]

How many people actually went through with that?

[ Snake would bet on at least one, but... ]

[mylawn]

I know at least one personally.

[He is currently hiding at Watchpoint: Farm.]

[soldiergenes]

I know someone who was strongly considering it.

It's going to be hard to get a headcount. Not sure everyone would admit to it.

[mylawn]

After what just happened? I don't think anyone will admit to it.

[soldiergenes]

What do you think about this decontamination plan?

[mylawn]

It's not going to solve the problem.

[soldiergenes]

Containment's the only thing that's going to do that, yeah.

But I'm not convinced that this is a single organism, either. Not when so many people are affected.

[mylawn]

Well, you know what they say about things like this. For everyone one you see, there's ten you don't.

[soldiergenes]

That's encouraging.

[mylawn]

Mice. Cockroaches. Alien biohazards.

[soldiergenes]

One of these things is not like the other.

[mylawn]

You don't know that for sure.

[soldiergenes]

Let's just hope this alien isn't as hard to kill as cockroaches are.

[mylawn]

Now that you've said it, they will be. Good job.

[soldiergenes]

You're putting all the blame on me?

[mylawn]

You jinxed us.

[soldiergenes]

[ Jack, PLEASE... ]

Well, I'll help you kill them, even if I have to break out the explosives. Deal?

[mylawn]

Deal.
