[ Wondering when Doctor Bachman is going to tell you about his new medication for the virus? Wonder no more. The text feed slowly reads out to your device: ]

I apologize for the delay in contacting you all about recent developments. I am afraid I have been somewhat incapacitated

[He's never seen Bachman post on the network, he's pretty sure. It's always been Ingram, who has never been willing to tell him much. But this guy says he'll answer questions -- so he has no choice but to trust him for now.]

... Can I ask you a question? About the people native to this world.

I will do my best to answer. What is your question?

How have they lasted so long?

Not everyone did, but if you are referring to those of us who are left -- it is a logic that may be difficult to understand. Those who sick in other ways before they develop last longer than those who are healthy.

[To be honest, this is the first time he's sen one ofthe scientists leave a message on the network, so obviously his curiosity wins out.]

... I haven't been here very long, so I haven't begun to show any symptoms but... I still have a couple questions, if that's alright.

What would you like to know?

Why do some of us get sicker faster than the others, and why were you scientists being so secretive in the first place?

It has hard to change habits. And as difficult as it is for you to trust us, similarly some of us have found it hard to be assured all of you will be helpful.

For your other question, it is a mixture of things -- health and general physiology. The same way that a common virus may hit a friend but never cause you any harm.

Is is possible to use this on someone who is in stasis?

[He hopes that it is possible, so that his wife's condition may improve.

[voicelocked]

Only once they go into remission enough to be removed, I am afraid.

[princely_honor]

I see.

[She just came out of stasis...and with no memories she has to ask some questions.]

Why was there secrecy to begin with?
