Calibration 11 [Video | No Cure For the Uncommon Cold]

[officer_garrus]

[Garrus is laying in bed with and even though the covers are pulled way up, he's obviously not wearing his armor. Nor is he wearing his visor. He doesn't wear them to bed anyway, but now everybody knows that.]

I think I might've come down with something. [His voice is nasally and congested.]

Spirits, I don't even remember the last time I was sick. Also, this thing came way too quickly for my liking. Just hope Mordin didn't catch this thing too, because I could really use a doctor right now. Or at least someone to get me drinks.

[He sneezes a few times before turning off the video.]

Still not sick. Can't speak for later though. Need me to come check on you?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

If you could at least bring me something to eat or drink, that would be nice.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Of course. Is your dexto-based foods still stocked up, or do I have to go find some?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

There should be some in there.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Will do. Grabbing some. And some liquids with electrolytes. What are your symptoms?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Well, I keep sneezing and coughing, my nose feels like it's about to explode, and I think I've got a fever.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a general cold. Everyone seems to be coming down with one. Unlikely to be natural. Curse. Should run its course without problem. Unless you were sick before hand. Then possible it could be worse... or longer.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

I noticed. [Sneeze.] No, I didn't feel like this until this morning.

[doctor-tangent.livejournal.com]

Good. Should only last as long as this curse... and maybe a few days more. The natural life of such a disease. Be thankful for the predictable nature of the common cold. If only the unpredictability of the curse hadn't had brought it on.

You sound pretty gross.

You don't know the half of it. [Cough.]

[beifongbandit]

Everyone on the network is sick, it looks like.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

It's most likely a curse. Or a pathogen.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

What's a pathogen?

voice;

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

It's a wave of germs that sweeps through an area.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Ewww. So it's kinda like a curse.

[ Not staring at the alien looking alien, nope. Totally used to it now. Uh-huh. ]

Seems there's really something going 'round. [ Pause. ] Still need help? I'm not a doctor, but I can manage drinks.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's okay, I've got Mordin here.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Well, then. Get better soon, I suppose.
