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

"I'm sorry..." Zeke responded.

"We have her quarantined away... at her own insistence, as well... but there's no denying it." he said.

"And I don't know WHY this is happening." he went on.

"At least it seems like nobody else has managed to catch it yet." he told her.

"No-one else is showing any symptoms."

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

"That's the least of our worries, I think." Angela commented.

"Reasonably certain that what we need to worry about, is how she got it again." she added with a shake of her head. She wanted to hit or punch something, but knew that she couldn't.

Both her and Zeke were in rough shape too, as was the one other person who was working there at the moment.

"What the hell is going on with that? She should be good, dammit."

Zeke just hung his head heavily, and shook his head.

"If I could answer, I would." he said.

"But this is an unprecedented situation." he went on.

"It's like she never had it before, but is getting it again, or... whatever." he mumbled.

"We can't pinpoint anything else. Or... anything at all." he lamented.

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

Angela was silent.

"This is... hell." she muttered before just typing another email for Ty.

Hey Ty, so problems.

Lunet, as you know, had to die due to her virus. She was fine, but it seems she's caught it again. Early stages, but with her immune system, I expect it'll only take a couple of days before she's back to the point where she should be here.
She didn't know what else to add in, so just sent it like that.

"Can you get any information from your Dad? Give us ANY sort of idea what we're playing with?"

Zeke bit his lip.

"I contacted him earlier." he said.

"..." he was then silent, and looked away.

"...Mom's sick now." he told her.

"It's not Ouroboros, but... but it's something that WILL kill her if she's not monitored 24/7." he continued. "I think he said it was... the Desata-B virus." he told her, the name bringing chills down her spine. It was a virus that had supposedly been eradicated centuries ago, without a trace left.

"So Dad's... a bit preoccupied." he finished.

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

Angela was silent for a moment after earing that.

"Excuse me?" She asked a minute or so later.

"You mean to tell me that two viruses that should not be on this planet, are?" She asked.

"This is more than just a virus here, has to be."

Forgive, O Lord, my

Zeke shook his head slowly.

"That is an incorrect statement." he said.

"I mean, YES, there IS more than just a virus here. THAT part is right." he told her.

"But... it's... it's not... TWO viruses that should not be on this planet, being on this planet." he said. "It's... actually 4." he went on.

"There are multiple other cases of Desata-B in various places around the world, as well as 'Void Lung'." he informed her.

"...and Rinderpest has been discovered in many herds of cattle around the world."

great big one on me.

Angela was silent for a moment, but Zeke knew her, and knew her well. The woman in front of her looked to be about ready to freak out in one way or another, most likely sheer concern.

"Dammit. Just... just dammit." She cursed before sighing, heavily.

"All right... keep up on the news, hey?" She asked. "Please? I need someone to keep me in the look. Also, I hope your mom pulls through."

Zeke nodded in response.

"I will." he told her.

"I'll keep up on news broadcasts and such." he went on, before pausing. "...also, seems cases of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. In both severity AND quantity." he informed her further.

"So yeah, there's definitely more going on here." he agreed.

"And thank you. I hope Mom pulls through as well."

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

"Really? Never would have guessed that mental disorders would potential skyrocket. Not at all." Angela commented sarcastically before sighing.

"sorry, you don't deserve that." She then said.

"Just... a bit fed up with this, if I'm being honest. I want to go home." she added

"We all do." Zeke responded.

"And feel free to use me as a verbal punching bag... whenever." he told her.

"For now, we just... need to... I don't know." he then lamented.

"I wish I knew. I wish I could find out. But I can't. I don't." he growled.

"I'll do all I can, but... I... don't know what that is. I'll just keep my eyes on the news and such."

"That and keeping an eye on Liv, being there if she needs, is all I ask for at the moment." Angela told him honestly.

"And it's all I can really expect." She added before shaking her head lightly.

"Thanks."

"Yeah, no worries." Zeke replied.

"And Liv's doing fine so far." he told her.

"No symptoms or anything, or whatever." he continued.

"So for now, she's fine." he said.

"Just... worried and concerned about everything." he then sighed.

"Yeah, I'm not surprised." Angela commented.

"I would honestly be surprised if she had caught anything." She added. "Since she's got a good immune system, and I have been ridiculously careful with making sure I don't take anything back to the dorm we're in."

"However, obviously I wasn't careful enough, since Lunet caught. AGAIN."

"Angela, catching it AGAIN should be an impossibility." Zeke responded.

"But we'll see what happens now." he said.

"...I get the feeling that we still have a lot of dark tunnel ahead of us..." he then mumbled.

"But we have to keep going." he added with a sigh.

"For now... I'll get back to making sure Liv's okay, and scouring news sources."

Angela didn't say anything before just sighing.

"Thank you." She said, her words sincere.

"I can't do it, and I really do appreciate that you're willing to." she added.

"Just... assure Liv I'm all right for the moment, and try and help keep her calm. I'll make it up to you later."

"Of course." Zeke responded.

"I'll do all I can." he told her. "I promise." he said.

Meanwhile in the office, Hazel had just returned with some food for the two of them, and heard Ty as she approached the door.

"Damn it!" he cursed.

"What the HELL is going on!?" he exclaimed.

"She has it AGAIN!?"

...and I'll forgive thy

Hazel was silent for a moment, pausing as she head that, before using her shoulder and side to open the door.

"Tyson?" She asked, her voice curious, concerned.

"What's going on?" She asked, able to make a guess, but wanted to actually hear it. The last thing he needed were assumptions.

Ty looked over towards her, and growled.

"Lunet." he said.

"They had to 'reset' her." he told her.

"And she was fine. Until now." he went on.

"She has Ouroboros again!" he exclaimed, slamming a fist down onto the desk.

"ALREADY! AGAIN!"

"Wait... what?" Hazel asked.

"I ... I thought that once it was gone, no matter the situation with the carrier, they ... they couldn't get it again for awhile. Like their very genetics to an extent are changed." She added.

"that's... weird. She shouldn't have been able to catch it again so soon, even with her weaker system. At least, I don't think she should have been able to..."
