Acknowledged.

worksmart May 13 2010, 02:02:28 UTC

Am I right assuming you'd be immune?

sciencedaughter May 13 2010, 02:04:20 UTC

You are correct. The poisons within my body render such a disease benign within minutes.

worksmart May 13 2010, 02:07:53 UTC

[The word is unfamiliar on her tongue, but at least she gets the pronunciation right.]

What's that?

It's a type of medicine that can stop an infection developing if you catch it early.

How d'you know if it'll work? I mean, what happens if it doesn't?

This virus has a history of highly efficient treatment utilising PEPs.

...Why sheep?

voice; worksmart May 13 2010, 02:06:59 UTC

I don't know, why anything?

voice; aregulargirl May 13 2010, 02:15:42 UTC

Good point.

What about the other sheep? The ones that aren't attacking?

worksmart May 13 2010, 02:10:55 UTC

Did yours grow on a plant?

primrosella May 13 2010, 02:11:48 UTC

No, it's one of the ones from before, when we had the plagues.

worksmart May 13 2010, 02:17:25 UTC

Keep it away from the ones with teeth and you should be fine.

Do you guys need any help?

worksmart May 13 2010, 02:24:35 UTC

Yes.

adamantined May 13 2010, 02:27:40 UTC

Just tell me what to do. It's not like I'm sweating anything.
