I didn't know if it would work either - I wanted to save both of them but...
[ he looks away for a moment. the results speak for themselves ]
... There's a couple drawbacks. First of all, whatever this ability is, it only works on the infected. Second... part of Lynne's infection was transferred to me.

That's why I gave Fran and Y'shtola some blood samples. Since I'm a safer source of material, I was hoping it would help with their research. Though I'm not sure how useful it is given my low level of infection...

He truly has hopes it can be resolved before it can become even messier. ]
I suppose in the end, it is still somewhat of a waiting game. But, that is why we must be vigilant and do what we can to ensure that it isn't that way entirely.
Because of our numbers dwindling at a steady clip, there is only so much patience and light treading we can do.
