ooc: whoever that is, am I right?

This is it. This is it this is it this is it!

I wasn't sure when I first picked up the sample from today but I've run a few tests and...

Señors y señoritas, this is crab venom they found.

I've been trying to isolate a sample of this for weeks, but the damn stuff fades off and dies too quick for me to get a look at it-- these samples have been mixed with some kind of blood-based nutrient gel to keep it alive.

It's too soon to say right now but if I try doing the same to my samples, I might be able to isolate it from another live specimen so we could get as much as we need. And if we've got samples, we've got time to work on a possible treatment.

In the meantime... Ms. Chambers, Dr. Neville, any of the rest of you who are into this kind of thing-- when you get some time, what with all the shenanigans and goings on around here, let's get to my lab and a look at this little bastard.

I don't think it was a good idea to announce what we found on the network. It's why I didn't mention the items earlier.

...While this is certainly a fantastic discovery, did you have to announce it over the network so blatantly like this? It's nowhere near as secure as anyone would like, and there are some obvious patterns forming with regards to information and destruction.

Whenever you need me I can probably swing by.

Really?! That's great! Wish I could help with the research, but virology is not my area of expertise, so I'll stay out of your way. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, though, and good luck!
