Not unless we go through Morningstar. [ and by now, he figures that means a little more than relying on hospitality. ] But it's testable. We need samples from the scene, blood samples too if we can get them.

[strove]

Which scene? All of them? That may prove to be difficult.

[rehandle]

[ a solid point. but there's a little intel he needs before he can start getting specific - ]

Who have you come across or heard about falling prey to this? From among us.

[strove]

Rey.

Bellamy.

Both Connor and Markus.

[rehandle]

[ check, check, check, check, and... ]

Loki. And someone else from our intake, I don't know their name.

Nobody from the new that I'm aware of.

[strove]

That explains the message I got from him.

So, are we absolutely certain that none of the recent ones have changed? If not, then that gives us the beginning of a pattern.

[rehandle]

Yeah. He was pretty far gone.

As far as I can tell. Which would make sense since they've only recently been allowed out of the safehouse. Whatever it was can't have made it back in.

[strove]

Most of the people you named have made it back in, so it may not be contagious.

No, scratch that. I'm going to rule that it's not contagious. I feel pretty confident in that one.

[rehandle]

If it were contagious, would you and I be speaking to one another rationally?

[ no, he's sure is the answer. it's rhetorical. ]

We can only be dealing with something that's only recently been introduced to the population.

[strove]

You know as well as I do that it may be dormant. Hell, we could just as easily be carriers and nothing more.

[That's just an opportunity to go, "I know science, too, Doctor." That isn't what she says, but the response is swift anyway.

Before she sends it, she tacks on:]

Though I don't think we are carriers, not if we can cure people. And I have, at least.
