[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.]

Action: A way-station!
When: November 26th

Tonight if the fleet happens to check the network at a certain, unspecified time, they will likely be 'treated' to a rather... disturbing video.

At first, it's hard to tell what the video is actually capturing. The camera is shaky, unclear, flashing in and out of states of light and dark, and even the sound is terribly muffled, as though someone is rubbing fabric against the microphone over and over again. In fact, after a bit, as the noises grow more distinct, it becomes clear that that is in fact exactly what's going on, but the telltale sounds of a struggle occurring imply that it might not be intentional. Shouting and yelling can be heard and at least one of them sounds female, possibly a specifically familiar female even.

Then, suddenly, there's a loud bang like a gunshot going off, followed by a few more in rapid succession, then the camera careens again and clatters to the floor where it simply lies still. Finally, the picture shows something worth seeing-- several pairs of legs and feet moving fast in the area, for one thing. Unfortunately, there's also blood splattered on the floor and a couple wounded, rough-looking individuals attempting to stagger back up to their feet, some of them carrying weapons.

The sound of blows landing can be picked up, along with grunting and pained gasps. One of the figures drops to their knees briefly before falling to the floor. It's a woman-- Cecil, pale and a little bruised and bloodied, but out cold. There's angry muttering and someone kicks her even while she's unconscious, before a pair of boots approaches the camera.

There's a loud crack and the feed abruptly cuts off.

( ooc ; Basically, a focused mingle. The crew of the Wonderduck will probably be tagging around, sooo... if you have questions or something, drop me a PM or a note somewhere! )
