"I don't suggest finding out, yourself." Jake replied.

"It's best to have that done professionally." he told her.

"You know, get a full battery of tests and bloodwork done and such." he reasoned, taking a drink of coffee from the mug in front of him.

"But black blood, eh?" he then asked.

"That IS different." he commented.

"Well... blood comes in different colours here, depending on the species in question." he then clarified.

"....eh?" Jake asked.

"How many species are still around back at your home?" he asked her.

"That's... a weird thing to muse about. Slightly ominous, too." he said.

"...what made you ask it...?" he then asked, leaning in some.

"There some sort of mass extinction event that happened, or is happening? And if so, there more to it than one might think?" he asked further, looking into her eyes.

"Because you said that in such a way that one would when they're alone." he commented.

Jake watched her run off in a hurry, and was decidedly confused.

"....right then." he muttered.

After about 3 minutes, which seemed like forever, Violet was allowed to enter.

"Ah, Violet." Sharp said when she did.

"What can I do for you?" he asked.

"...judging from how you look, it must be serious." he then added, motioning for her to take a seat.

".....a virus?" Sharp asked, paying closer attention now.

"I see." he said.

"What kind of virus?" he asked.

"What does it do? And what are the symptoms?" he asked further.

"I need ALL the info you have on it." he told her.

"ASAP. As in, NOW."

Sharp paid close attention, and took down all she said.

"All right, got it." he said.

He then looked over the list, and scratched at his chin.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"Nobody here has been showing ANY of these symptoms." he told her.

"So it seems like we're fine for now." he continued.

"But I will be on the lookout."

"It's all right." Sharp responded.

"This info is more than enough right now." he told her.

"I'll be on the lookout, keeping a discerning eye on things, looking for any of these symptoms." he then assured her.

"Thank you for telling me this." he continued.

"This would be nasty for us, to say the very least."

"Ah, yes." Sharp replied.

"We have your ship, and all the remnants we found, currently in storage." he told her.

"You and your brother are free to examine it if you like." he said.

"And also... your other friend." he continued.

"He's been kept preserved, but I do not know how you pay respects, and lay the dead to rest in your world." he went on.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" he asked.

Sharp nodded in response.

"There's nothing more." he said.

"Thank you for the information." he told her.

"And let me know your decisions regarding what I mentioned." he went on.

"Again, thank you." he finished.

"If you need to talk again, I'm usually here."

When she stepped into the cafeteria, she saw that Jake was still, indeed, there.

He looked over and saw her, before waving slightly.

She got closer to him, and he sighed.

"Welcome back." he said.

"Did you get done what you needed to get done?" he asked.

"....fair enough." Jake replied.

"It seemed to be fairly urgent. Glad things are okay..." he went on.

"At any rate." he then said, clearing his throat a little.

"I was asking what happened back in your home dimension." he told her.

"And you panicked."
