[Ianto could make a big announcement, Petrelli-style. He could talk about the last time people started getting sick (though he's fairly certain this isn't stasis sickness all over again), or how everyone should band together to help each other and keep an eye on each other. He could propose that people voluntarily go to the medbay to get their blood tested, or ask people to compare symptoms and severity.

As if anyone has the bloody energy for all that.]

Is there anyone who isn't sick?

My cats seem fine. [ HELPING ]

My pteranodon does too. Yet she still refuses to feed herself or make me tea.

[suddenlycaptain]

I'm sure she would feed herself, if we had... whatever pteranodons eat readily available.

Uh, I'm almost afraid to speak up because I might jinx it. But I'm not sick... for now.

... Unless you count the engineering sickness I get every jump.

[coffeeking]

Really?

[That's unexpected, but hey, small blessings.]

Could you make Jack and I some tea? I don't want to go all the way to the kitchen.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Oh. So that's how this is going to be. Luke's very quickly regretting having mentioned that. He wouldn't be surprised if he gets a ton of messages on his comm device with other such requests by tomorrow. Great.]

Actually, sorry but I'm working a shift right now. I won't be off for another few hours.

[He's not lying about that, either. Some gun turret maintenance panels are visible behind him.]

In fact, I might have to go right into a security shift after this, too. Things have been super busy ever since people started getting sick. I've been working twice my usual shifts trying to make up for everyone who's missing.

Nnnnnnnope. [ you can tell what she thinks of that in her dry tone and the utterly done-with-this-shit wrinkle to her nose. ]

[coffeeking]

Brilliant. [Yeah, he's thrilled too, can you tell?]

video.

[unmakes]

Does anyone have any idea what this stupid shit is?

[spellmight]

It's mild for me. ( because she can heal, but isn't about to advertise that.

or she really will be sick from exhaustion and loss of mana. )

How bad is it for you?

video;

[coffeeking]

I thought it was nothing but a cold at first, but it's getting worse.

video;

[spellmight]

Worse how? ( given that she's able to mitigate the worst of it, she's unaware. )

Is anyone looking into tracking down the source of this? Elsewise it'll be like a bad case of fleas, and we'll keep passing it back and forth.

( and no thank you to that! )

[nothebestacronym]

Hullo, you're Ianto Jones, right?

[here's connor, smiling brightly across the communicators, even if there is a clear bit of weariness about his eyes and such. the sickness hasn't hit him too hard so far, at least, but he certainly is sick, just the same.]

I was told you have a pterosaur. [a beat] Oh, er, yeah. Bit sick, yeah.

[coffeeking]

[Yes, okay, that is totally off topic but... Well, why not. Not like he's the first bloke to get excited about a dinosaur.]

Yeah, I do. Myfanwy. She's in the gardens.

video;

[nothebestacronym]

[can you honestly blame him, ianto, connor doesn't get to meet too many people who also have pet dinosaurs. for some reason it's a really niche market.]

Brilliant, that's just brilliant, I hardly got to see our last Pteranodon. If you're not feeling up to feeding her, what with the sickness rolling around the ship, I could give it a go.

[stopping to look down near his feet as if something has just caught his attention, before he looks back up and thinks to add: ] 's long as she doesn't try eating me Diictodons, anyway.

[Alison Hendrix does not get sick.

Between running her home, soccer and figure skating coaching, organizing various projects for the kids' school events, community theater, neighborhood events and - well - clone club - she simply doesn't have the time.

This jump, judging by her pale skin and red-rimmed eyes and nostrils, is an exception.]

I take it it's not always like this?

video;

[coffeeking]

No, thank goodness. We wouldn't have survived this long if it was.

[onemistress]

The well seem to be limited in number, unfortunately. [ she's distracted sewing at present. ]

At the least, it is not the pox, and I have only a touch of it myself.

[ there's a cough, ladylike and smothered briefly behind her hand. ]

video;

[coffeeking]

[Holy shit, it's Queen Elizabeth. Be cool, Ianto, be cool.]

I only had a touch of it until yesterday, then it started getting worse. But yes, on the plus side, a pox would be much more disgusting. And we can all be thankful for fever reducers.

[mathematically]

[ There's no one in the frame but there is coughing before any real words get said. Sorry Ianto, she so is not letting anyone see her look this much like shit. ]

Whoever released the germs in the first place might be. [ Or they're having the worst time. Either or. ]

[coffeeking]

Or whatever. If they're even germs.

[She's rather curious in this answer too, so she'll be stalking this for a bit.]

No. Even those that should be incapable of getting sick seem to have caught this. [And that's really disturbing.]

[coffeeking]

I'd noticed that as well.
