WEE͠K ̸́4͝
Within days dozens are confirmed infected, and you and your unexpected new scientist friend find yourselves trying to work on a cure. If not a cure, a stopgap of some kind. Anything to prevent this thing from destroying everything. It's hard work. It's not going very well. Really, it feels like with every step forward, you're taking ten steps back. Discouraging is an understatement, to say the least.
A week passes, and the death toll rises. It's really starting to look bleak. You constantly second-guess yourself, and even get into a fistfight with your new ally one night. It's getting to the point where you are working on fumes.
Then, unexpectedly, you get a phone call. It's been a long night, and the sun is beginning to rise above the mountains, when it happens.
You and the scientist are not the only ones looking for a cure. In fact, there are at least a dozen others-and they think they may be close to a breakthrough.
But-and you can't believe you're hearing this, after all of the failure you'd experienced throughout this blight-they need your help.]
[To say that the end of last week sucked would be an understatement. To say that no one knows what this week will bring is not even in question. Yet even as you wake, you feel a cloud lift from your mind, as one of the truths you've been living with since the beginning has suddenly changed.]
[But is it possible to abide by this new truth? The Hosts, and IT beyond, seem intent on making that impossible. And the rat...well. Obviously the rat's not an ally. Let's not kid ourselves.
There's only one way to find out if more deaths can truly be prevented-and that's to keep going, and hoping that the new floor that has opened up will offer something in the way of an opportunity.
In the meantime.
There are 11 strangers left in this place.]

His first order of business is to transfer his notes to the walls in a (marginally) more organized fashion than he could manage on a sheet of paper.]
I should've been taking notes at the meetings, too, I'm a Librarian for Yggdrasil's sake...
[He'll update his notes with new information once it's all up there.]
I can replay the visions I've had for anyone who resonates with me, in case notes and verbal description don't do enough.

[Because no offense, kid, but even though he can understand those... that... that diagram made out of words, he's not sure about the other people here.]
If you're sharing the vision there's not a risk of just seeing something without warning, right?
no subject
[As for the question about visions.....hm.]
It's not impossible to see something without warning. Caleb and King got replays of one I got before, but it kicked in sooner than expected and wasn't what I was trying for with Caleb, and I didn't expect it to just go again when King put me on...and the first time I saw Akira, Kurama, and Karma wasn't here - it was in a vision I got for the first time when Emma put me on, back at the mansion.
I can try to direct it but my control is less than perfect.
