I'll be blunt:  we all know how bleak this situation's looking, with the disease spreading rapidly among Outworlders and local Coruscanti citizens alike.

I want you to know that we aren't standing idly by, but rather we've got some of our best minds looking for a cure right now.  We've been approached by a genetics corporation here on Coruscant in

Don't you think that handing over genetic samples to a company like that could allow them to design an outbreak targeted to our kind? If this one isn't already, I mean.

I don't know about you, but I'm still holding out hope that this is a joke. If he were this naive, he wouldn't have gotten elected in the first place.

Are you sure? Maybe the Senate was just trying to placate us by selecting a figurehead. There was some gossip about it at the time.

And there go the final few drops of my girlish optimism.

No one will take him up on it. They didn't even like the idea of registering, registering your DNA is sketchy no matter what world you hail from. [ A beat. ] Although ... it couldn't hurt to point that out.

The fact I'm not sick or dead yet pretty much proves I'm immune enough. Do you really think Peter's going to stop helping people just because you don't want him to get sick?

Or it proves you're lucky. I'm not sick either, but that doesn't mean I think I'm immune. [Just that he doesn't associate with the dirty dirty masses.]

It's temporary, Claire, that's all.

[breakmychest]

Who could possibly be moronic enough to fall for this crap?

[senatorinspace]

If you're concerned about the credibility of Bioware, I can offer you the company history and dossiers on its employees. I've already looked into this.

[breakmychest]

Don't forget the dossier on why I'd trust you on it.

And even if you and the company and everyone checked out, I wouldn't do it. I'm no one's experiment.

[senatorinspace]

No one's forcing you to volunteer.

And I think with this many people sick, they need me now more than ever. I'm not going anywhere, Nathan. Claire and I aren't sick so far, chances are that's not going to change if it hasn't by now

[THIS IS JUST WHAT HE WAS AFRAID OF]

You're not gonna be helping anyone get better if you wind up dead within a week.

I'm just asking for a few days.

Nathan

[aboutdestiny]

You don't know how long a cure's gonna take, and in those few days, a lot of people could die. I'm not willing to sit back and let them.

Peter

[senatorinspace]

Look, I understand, believe me. I know this is... what you do [waves a hand vaguely], but you've gotta look at a bigger picture.

[Blair wants to respect you, because you come from a position of power, but she can't be bothered right now because she's sick and she thinks you're not using your politician brain.]

Even I know that's a terrible idea. You can't honestly be encouraging this.

Of course I am. Quite simply, we don't have the resources on our own, or the revenue to supply them, to find a cure to combat this. Malak's offer is out of the question - we have to show them we won't respond to threats, that we can beat this thing on our own.

Bioware's on our side. I've been in contact with them since shortly before my election.
