I have proof now! The alien bacteria that alters your genetic structure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Degasi Voice Log #7
BAAT: Stop it, both of you! We're sick.

MARGUERIT: What?

PAAL: How?

BAAT: You've been coughing, right? Feeling itchy?

MARGUERIT: Yeah.

BAAT: We've been sick since we started breathing the air.

PAAL: The suit biometrics would have warned us.

BAAT: It's something new. A bacterial infection.

MARGUERIT: What does it do?

BAAT: Nothing much, so far. But it's smart. With enough time I think it could begin altering our genetic structure. Things get gross after that.

PAAL: What can you do?

BAAT: I think I can slow it down.

PAAL: How did you find it?

BAAT: It's everywhere, I just couldn't see it. Everything on this planet is infected. It's pretty much just part of the ecosystem. MARGUERIT: How bad can it be if everything's got it?

BAAT: The local lifeforms must have developed coping mechanisms. We haven't.

PAAL: Yet. You have my full faith, son, that you'll figure this out for us.

MARGUERIT: Tell me what you need, kid.
