[NETWORK] An Announcement
Who: Ade Bennett
Username: ade37
Warnings: Vague references to animal cruelty
Hi everyone. This is Ade. Just a quick announcement to expect some new faces around the office from here on out.
[ Here, he has attached a photo of three albino rats cuddled up in a little hammock inside their cage. It’s the cutest, most photogenic picture he could take with his limited photography skills. ]
These guys came from ADI’s medical labs, so it’s safe to say they’ve been through a lot. I thought I’d give them a well-earned retirement. Couldn’t get ADI to waive their no-pets policy in the apartments but they did say I could keep them in the HQ itself, so… here they are. I’ll be handling their upkeep, so no one else has to worry about it.
A few notes: please don’t feed them any junk food. They can eat fruits or vegetables sometimes as treats, but other than that, they should be sticking to rodent food from the pet store. Also, be gentle if you handle them, and don’t forget to make sure the cage door is fully latched when you put them back in. I’ve heard they can be real escape artists.
Finally, I hope nobody needs to hear this, but just in case: don’t be an arsehole. If you have a problem with the rats or don’t want them here, talk to me and I’ll work something out. Don’t take it out on them. Don’t manhandle them either. They’re animals, not toys. If you want to handle them and don’t know how, ask me and I’ll show you.
I’ll be hanging out here for a little bit, so if you want to come meet them, now’s a good time. Also: I don’t have nicknames for them yet. I still haven’t figured out how to tell them apart so I’ve been putting it off. If you can think of some good ones for three boy rats, go ahead and drop them here. Thanks.

There's only three other infected humans that I know of. One of them's Shan. [ AKA, the other person in his little family unit. ] All of us are stuck on the same wess'har-controlled planet, 25 lightyears from Earth. At least it means there isn't much chance of interplanetary contamination.

They can't just keep you there forever, can they?
no subject
Don't feel too bad. It wasn't my call, but even if it was, I want to be on Bezer'ej. Not Earth.
no subject
Okay, well, you should see if they can work on something while you're here.
Maybe one of the people from another place could help?
Just hate the thought of you being barred from going anywhere.
no subject
ADI's research already suggests it can't permanently infect anyone not from my own universe. Something about quantum genetics. So that's already a good start.
no subject
Might still be.
I've gone poking around just a bit in the computers, looking at what there is to see, and the encryption they've got on some of their files isn't like anything I've ever seen.
I'm not an expert, but I know computers, and it's complicated
4-dimensional chess levels of complicated.
But glad to know you can't infect anyone else.
You're really nice, but if you don't know the course it's gonna take in people, better to be safe than sorry.
