Forgive, O Lord, my
my little jokes on thee...

Ty nodded in response.

"Understandable." he said.

"I doubt ANYONE is particularly fond of such a thing." he said further.

"But for now, we will make sure you have a place to sleep, and have access to food and basic necessities and such." he went on.

"And I'll look into the files to see if we can't find someone to try and help you recover your memories." he told her.

"And maybe we'll find a clue to this mess."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"If I learn or remember something that is pertinent to this situation, I will surely some to give you the information that would be useful." She commented honestly.

"However, I think that's the best I can do for the moment." She added after a moment or two.

"Sorry. I wish I could do more, but I just... I can't."

"Don't stress yourself out over it." Ty said to her.

"We'll get you set up with somewhere to sleep here, and make sure you know where things are." he said further.

"We'll then worry about getting your memories back." he went on.

"For now, your safety and comfort." he stressed.

"...we'll need something to call you, though..." he then realised.

"Not sure if you want to go by 'Jane' in the time being, however..."

"Uh... sure?" Was her answer.

"I don't... I don't really have a preference." She added a few seconds later.

"I just know that yeah, I do need SOME sort of moniker for the moment, you're right. So... that works?"

Forgive, O Lord, my

Ty sighed lightly.

"We'll call you Jane, then." he said.

"Short for 'Jane Doe', though you're not... dead. Just... have amnesia." he mumbled.

"For now. If you remember your name, do not hesitate to let me know." he told her.

"Or anything at all. Due to this being an emergency, I live here in this office, and the phone in the dorm we'll assign you to will connect to the phone here." he explained to her further.

"But you're not feeling physically ill or anything?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy

"Yeah, of course." the one they agreed to call 'Jane' assured him.

"I will definitely let you know if there's anything I know or whatever." She added.

"And no, I feel perfectly fine. A little sparky from the electricity still, but I know that'll fade."

Forgive, O Lord, my

Ty was silent for a moment, not quite sure how to respond to that last statement.

"Ah... well... that SHOULD go away some point soon." he told her.

"Should, anyway." he stressed.

"And as long as you're feeling all right, physically speaking, then we don't have any real reason to panic." he continued. "The quarantine on the med bay is pretty tight." he reasoned.

"So at least you haven't caught the virus. It's... pretty non-subtle." he finished.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Jane just chuckled.

"Should? I hope so. I don't want to be shorting out the electronics here." She commented.

"And yeah, no. I feel fine regarding the virus. I'd like to help if I can." She added. "I've come across it before, last time it was around, and came out unscathed. I think I just have a really good immune system, so maybe I can help. Maybe."

Ty scratched his chin a little when she said that.

"Normally I would send you to the medical bay for examination, based on that theory." he said. "However... quarantine. Nobody is getting IN or OUT of there." he reasoned.

"But the lab would be a good place to potentially help." he then said further.

"They might be able to extract some information from you." he went on.

"...whether it be examining your blood, or finding a way to unlock your memories." he clarified.

Jane just nodded.

"Wherever I'm useful, is a perfect place for me." She told him.

"Hopefully, maybe, I'll find something or other about ... well, how to help, or who the hell I am. Or even why I have a strong feeling that there will be something going on here, or someone here, or something, that is why I was pulled here so strongly."

"That is... a lot of vagueness." Ty responded.

"But anyway, Hazel, if you could help Miss Jane to a dorm, and show her where the lab and cafeteria are?" he asked Hazel.

"Oh, and here." he then said, grabbing one of the card keys and handing it to Jane.

"Dorm 37." he told her.

"If you ever find yourself wandering the building, the blue tiles are an interactive map and guidance system."

Jane accepted the card with a nod.

"Thank you, and good to know." She commented as Hazel got to her feet from where she had been sitting, and quiet.

"Of course." Hazel said with a nod. "Want me to come back after?" she then asked, her voice curious as Jane got to her feet too.

Ty paused for a moment.

"...yes." he said.

"Yes. Please." he told her.

His voice was calm, but Hazel could hear it. A very subtle undertone.

Fear. He was scared. Scared to be without her. Scared to turn into... what he was like, when she wasn't there.

"But make sure Miss Jane is settled in first." he then insisted, to which she could tell he was sincere with that. He was scared of what he would become without Hazel, but he WAS the boss.

And he needed to make sure everyone else was (relatively) all right, before him.

Hazel was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Of course." She said, a soft, kind, friendly, tone to her voice.

"I'll be back once I can." she assured him before looking to Jane.

"Shall we?" She asked.

"Yeah, of course. Thanks you two. I appreciate this." Jane answered.

"Lead the way, I'll follow."

Ty smiled a little at her, and nodded as well.

"We do what we can for those that need it." he told her.

"Good luck in regaining your memories." he said, before the two women left.

And as soon as they did, he could sense the dark cloud around him.

"...great..." he mumbled, slumping forward some.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Sure enough, Hazel did return after doing as she was asked to, and it really wasn't hard for her to guess that Ty needed her by this point.

About a week later, Angela was working on typing an email.

Hey Ty,

All right, so I think I have some good news for you, and for everyone. Lunet, as you know, did end up requiring a revival due to the virus. She revived a couple days ago, and things seem good. She's chipper, annoyed at the lockdown of course, and everything seems normal.

I think, if this stays on this track for 24-48 more hours, I'll comfortably be able to remove the barriers around the wing.

Thankfully.

-Angela
Just as she finished typing it, but before hitting send, there was a knock on her office door.

"Enter!" She called

No sooner had she said that, Zeke entered... and he was looking concerned.

VERY concerned.

"Angela!" he exclaimed.

"We have a problem. A BIG one." he said.

"...what is it...?" Angela asked, hesitant and anxious now.

"It's Lunet." Zeke replied.

"...she's showing symptoms again."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Angela froze when Zeke said that before looking to him.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"How the hell.... we've been making sure that ..." she just sighed, heavily.

"Is it in her genetics, maybe? Something that can't be overwritten...?" She wondered, knowing that he couldn't answer that, before shaking her head.

"How is she for the moment?"

"I don't know." Zeke responded. "I just... I don't know." he repeated.

"This shouldn't be in her genetics, it's not that sort of virus. Or it shouldn't be." he said.

"But anyway, how is she? She's... for a moment, okay." he told her.

"Relatively." he stressed.

"She's showing the early symptoms, so it's like a really bad cold right now." he went on.

"...but it's unmistakable. It's Ouroboros again."

Angela just sighed, heavily, and honestly seemed like she wanted to just throw the towel in.

"Perfect." was all she said.

"Just... perfect." As she spoke, she just erased the entire email that she had been about to send.
