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.
