Who: Coil Lenn
Broadcast: Open
Action: SS Red Fish
When: Nov. 26th, morning
[sometime in what could be considered the early hours of 'morning,' a transmission is sent out to every ship. it's only text at first, and it has taken its author an embarrassingly long time to type out.]
pos. samples show unfam. protein action
isolat predatory protein, but diff. to denature
prion? but neg. for aggregates
acting sim. to chaperone? but no trail b/c lack of residue after disassembly
[and then--of course--he remembers the rest of what he wanted to say after he sends it. so, video follows a few seconds after the text message. the camera comes on as a very sick-looking, scraggly teenager is finishing up scrawling something onto the back of his lab notes and then holding it up for the camera to see. he's so tired of trying to type this stuff out it's not even funny.]
'protein structures are solid in native state but I think we can destabilize them'
[and once he's given viewers a few seconds to read, he sets the paper down to write one more word in large letters and emphasizes with scribbly underlining]
'C U R E'
[the video connection is then left open, obviously waiting for responses.]

A cure? What do you propose we do to destabilize them?
Video
he has to switch to a new piece of paper because the one he's on is getting a little crowded, and scribbles out an answer to hold up to the camera]
'create counter-proteins in lab - injections??'
Video
[There's a pause as he considers that, squinting his eyes to read it again (man, maybe he should pick up glasses)]
Yes, I think there's some stuff in the lab that I could use to do that...I can see what I can do! [Sure, he's never done it before - but that never stops a shonen!] Can you pass this info onto Captain Hange as well? Maybe she can try making one as well.
Video
and Coil just flips a dismissive hand back over his shoulder when Hange is mentioned. ...because they're sharing a lab now, she's over there somewhere, and he does not particularly want to talk about it.
instead, he just starts the laborious task of typing up his findings with actual chemical formula terms-- his best guess on concocting a vaccine for this thing.
...give him a few minutes and the file will finally come in over the network.]

Wow...you figured out a lot. I could definitely do something with this. Thank you.
[He gives a sad sigh]
And I suppose since you're the one to discover it, it's only fair you're the one who gets to name it.
Video
he looks confused, tilting his head questioningly??]
Video
Well, you see- it's customary that when a new disease is found...whoever discovers the disease names it. Or they name it after the first known patient of it. Though, I can't see many people being fond of that idea...
And since you figured out what it was, it's only fair you get to name it!
