004 - Text; oh space balls
Who: Clay Terran and ALL of you!!
Broadcast: Yeh
Action: On the Vanquish!
When: January 2nd
[Clay was having a good time exploring the temples. He was all about them temples. So, of course, he feels very bitter about having to cut the exploration short due to catching a cold. A cold. And on top of that, one of his crewmates is gone. He was about to tell Koushiro that hey, the captain caught a cold too, and... well. Normally he'd bounce back from all this and move on, but with the cold quickly and progressively getting worse and worse...
So he's in his bed, covers up over his head and very. Very. Bored. And it's only been a day since he was ordered bed rest! He could be exploring the temples more. He could be learning about the salt mines. He could be continuing his research for his star charts, but no, that has to be put off too. Ugh, this will mess him up...
With a groan, he rolls over, pats for his device, and decides to type since he doesn't want to cough in everyone's faces:]

[And with that, he's on his way]
Text
[Well Clay's definitely not going anywhere, so he'll just bundle up under the covers and feel miserable until Allen gets there.]
Text > Action
Clay?
Action
Heeeey.
Action
Hey...how're you feeling?
Action
[Still, he offers a little smile of his own. Yes, he feels awful, but it's still good to see him. But that'll soon fade because he really doesn't feel up to smiling more.]
I didn't feel so bad yesterday. Then I woke up today and felt ten times worse.
Action
It sounds like you might have that illness the locals mentioned. Or just a cold.
Action
Ah, great. A cold or a slightly worse alien cold.
Action
Well I don't know, it is a little remarkable. The locals said that the pathogens are incredibly old, perhaps from even before the planet's climate got so cold. Apparently, they got frozen in the ice when the planet cooled, and somehow managed to survive in the ice all this time! I mean, that's pretty incredible for a little virus.
Action
Really? So if they're stuck in the ice for so long, how do they get out?
Action
It's the mining. It disturbs the fossilized layers where they were, and the pathogens get brought out of dormancy.
And apparently this has happened for so long, the native population has completely adapted and are immune to it. It's only people not native to the planet that get sick. But even that in of itself is strange.
Action
[Oh hold on, gotta bend over and cough into his upper arm because dang, sitting up kinda messes with his lungs. It takes a few more of them, but once he's done, he'll let out a groan into his arm before going on.]
Anyway, I've been visiting the mines to see how the locals live their lives. So I probably got it when I was at one of them... So why do you think it's strange for us to catch it? Is it because our bodies get infected by a virus unknown to us?
