It’s genius, really Awful, horrifying genius

Hour 22

Subject 72 has entered a state of full catatonia Symptoms include

Muscle rictus

Lowered heart rate and core temperature

Limited pupillary response

Lack of proper equipment and trained personnel make this theory difficult to confirets the sensory cortex and not the thalaree the effect on the adala (decodes emotions; determines possible threats) is profound--afflicted people will often convince themselves they are not afflicted, or actively avoid treatment, for fear of punishment/persecution/the isolation of quarantine

I had intended to begin co the cellular resistances of Alpha and Beta, however, one of the assistants (Jane, lovely girl) dropped an entire batch of Beta infected bloodwork on the floor Glass everywhere

Not her fault, really--there’s tootheet some sleep, but if we don’t crack this, nobody will

Besides, it’s good to be around people The thought of being alone right now is terribly disconcerting

Hour 27

Subject 72 still in state of paralysis BPM and breathing below half of huart’s work on the dae the virus inflicts on synaptic vessels and found several errors

I swear that woman wouldn’t know a hippocampus fro this report she’d spend ood captain’s coht suspect she’s si to stealwe everthey want us tominor muscle movement Heart rate increased 12 percent in the last 30 en--as previously surmised, Alpha strain was never intended to per re so inherently weak

Twenty-three of us packed in this tiny lab Forty-six eyes Sweating away in these flimsy hazmat suits So thin So feeble So little between it and us and us and it

My foot hurts My skin itches Jane asked if I ell Nosy little slip None of her business Couldn’t tell her, though, no Smile and nod, smile and nodnodnodnod

One of the assistants (can’t remember his name--Roberts? Robins?) talks to himself beneath his breath as he works Thinks no one can hear hiart finally back in the lab

I wonder if she had time to shower

Wonder if I peeled that suit open if I’d s in Ryker’s quarters and whispering her lies about noranteach other with their eyes and all the while things are getting worse and no one is doing anything to stop it but reen things floating in her head

Stop looking at me
