Who: Ino and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Blue Fish
When: Now!

[ Ino looks a little frazzled, but she's all business when she addresses the camera. ]

Hey everyone! An update on the research going on right now. Well, as far as I know, anyways. If anyone has any findings besides what I'm about to say, let me know, I'll add it to the list.

To make this short and sweet, we've figured out that these aliens are pretty damn intelligent -- near to or on par with humans. [ She holds up a hand, as if to shush the people watching ] Immortals and non-humans, please save your jokes about how dumb we are for the end, please and thank you.

Anyways, they're pretty smart, but they weren't really supposed to be all crazy and vicious. So we looked into it and it looks like they've been exposed to some sort of fungus that's severely damaged their nervous system. If you didn't know, that's linked to the brain, and so very much affects how they act and think. We're thinking that's shorted out their ability to think and reason properly. Hence the conflicting violent attitude compared to the distress signal they sent out before.

Soooo, if you haven't put two and two together -- until we figure out the deal with this mold, how to potentially cure the damage it's caused, so on and so forth -- I would not recommend going on the ship at all until we can determine for sure that it's not going to infect us, too. I know there's a lot of interesting things going on on the ship, but you don't know what that shit could do to you. [ A beat ] Seriously.

If you're going to be a stubborn idiot and go on the ship anyways, I'm going to be keeping an eye on the entrance and keep note of anyone who decides to go in, so you can be monitored in the future. You know, just in case this comes back to bite us later, which it probably will, because that's how these things work.

If you've been on the ship and you're worried about your own personal health, or have noticed any recent symptoms you think are off in some way, I'd be happy to check and see if your everything is in order! I'd also recommend drinking a lot of water the next few days to flush any toxins out of your body.

Anybody have any questions? I'm Ino, captain of the Three Twins for those who don't know me. Just let me know.

[ And with a short little wave, she ends the feed. ]

[He...doesn't comment on that. He knows the fleet has some amazing doctors and healers, it's not that he doubts their capabilities. Just you know...he can't help but be a little skeptical about these things when it's been years and you're still no closer to curing his Noah condition]

[Then again, a fungal infection was much simpler than that mess]

...I'm not sure. Their brains have been badly eroded by the fungi. We'd have to have some way to repair that.

[ino]

Exactly. Now, I don't know about any of the other healers here, but once things have literally eroded or fallen off or whatever -- I can't exactly make it regrow or reappear. Once it's gone, it's gone. If the cure manages to work on them, they would still be living at an incredibly limited and stunted capacity, if they can manage to make it at all.

[save_the_souls]

[He lets out sighs as he thinks of the different people who could help out with that]

I hate to say it, but I almost wish Kanda was here. Maybe the equipment in the lab could give us an idea of how his regenerative abilities work beyond "magic".

[Well, at least he's not suggesting Kanda bleeds on all the bugs]

...Maybe Adrasteius? It sounds like he's capable of a lot more than most healers- assuming he wasn't bluffing.

STOP SENDING BEFORE IM DONE DW

[ino]

It's worth asking, anyways.

[ She just doesn't want to get everyone's hopes up :( ]

Aww, look at you, missing Kanda.

BAD DW

[save_the_souls]

[ >O!!! ]

I don't miss Kanda!

so rude :'(

[ino]

[ She smirks over her cup ]

Uh-huh.

[save_the_souls]

Why would I miss him? He's utterly aggravating!

[ino]

[ Sips her tea ]

Hey, sometimes it's nice to just have a familiar face.

[save_the_souls]

Tch-

I have you and Crowley for familiar faces. I don't need his stupid face.

[ino]

[ Laughs ]

What about Lenalee or Lavi?

[save_the_souls]

[He makes a huff at the laughter as he finally sips his tea. Rude Ino. Just rude]

I wouldn't mind seeing Lavi and Lenalee again. Though Lenalee might cry or kick me really hard, so there's that. [He's not sure which is worse]

[ino]

Eh? Why would she kick you?

[save_the_souls]

Oh. Last time I saw her at Paradisa, she said back home I'd been missing for three months? And sometimes when she gets worried enough, she gets violent.

[More like Allen does a stupidass thing that doesn't help with the worries. Like right now, mentioning all that completely casually after neglecting to mention that tidbit for oh, ever]

[ino]

-- Three months?!

[ YEAH WHAT THE FUCK ALLEN ]

[save_the_souls]

Er-

[SHIT WHOOPS]

[ino]

I'd be pretty worried if I were her, too ... !

[save_the_souls]

I'm sure it's- [okay, saying it's "fine" is probably too much BS even for him no way she'd buy that]

I'll turn up, I'm sure.

[ino]

[ She sets her teacup down to fold her arms across her chest ]

Even if you do, I can see why she'd be upset.

[save_the_souls]

I know, I know...I didn't say I'd stop her from kicking me.

[Just not looking forward to it! Or the crying]

[ino]

[ A little smile ... ]

... How long ago was that, anyways?

[save_the_souls]

[.................this is a trap. He knows it's a trap]

Ah-

...Awhile? Last time Lenalee was in Paradisa...

[ino]

Which was when?

[save_the_souls]

[...............]

S-so! Nervous system affecting fungus! That's a rather disturbing development!

[Allen attempts SUBJECT CHANGE-NO-JUTSU]

[ino]

Don't change the subject!

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

[Oh. It wasn't very effective. Drat. :< ]

I just didn't want to worry you!
