[. . .]

There's something about our setup that reminds me of a certain sect of horror movies. Zombies. . .?

[she isn't sure. she's not a horror movie kind of person]

[killtheanimals]

You mean movies where people just keep getting infected by bites or whatever and slowly turn into a mass of the undead?

[fallbymyhands]

Yes, precisely. Those.

[those!]

Only as of right now, the method and manner of infection is unknown.

[killtheanimals]

[Those!]

We need to find the source.

[fallbymyhands]

We do. And hopefully, finding the source will give us direction to finding a cure.

[killtheanimals]

It would be a start. Then we'd really know what we're working with.

Magic, or a virus... or if there's a root that we need to eliminate, too. How we approach it all depends on that.

[fallbymyhands]

[AND THEN THEY LEARN THAT IT'S FROM A GOD]

You're right. Though if it is a virus, I feel a bit apprehensive that we don't seem to have any scientists among our numbers.

[killtheanimals]

Well, it isn't like you can really expect that from people our age...

[He's a smart eleven year old, but even he can't lay claim to knowing anything like that.]

We'll just need to keep digging.
