Camp Fortitude

When I decided to see the universe, this was definitely not what I'd had in mind.

Clara Oswald. I'm I was a teacher in London. Hello, I suppose, fellow time-and-space abductees.

[ Service ]

I'll be joining you in the Service Department, doing.... well, I'll figure that out as I go along. And thank you, Pepper -- Ms. Potts? Pepper? Which do you prefer? -- for your explanation earlier.

I guess it's cool to find something resembling civilization after a few months of fighting monsters on my own.

Name's Jessica Jones. I have good whiskey if anyone wants to have a drink.

This is a public announcement for everybody who resides in the camp, please read this carefully and check in so I know that you're aware of what's going on.

I've run a blood test of the unfriendlies, the same type that got into the camp during the brownout. They are infected. The infection is contagious. I want to make a few points clear before we all panic.

- There were no pathogens found, which means that this infection isn't airborne. Which is great news.

- After doing some more tests, I've figured out that, although the virus exists in the bloodstream, it doesn't have the capability of surviving once it leaves the body. As soon as it hits oxygen it dies, which means that getting the blood of these things on you, although gross, isn't dangerous. You can't catch the virus like that.

- The virus can be transferred through saliva. More specifically, if the saliva of these things is injected or applied to an open wound immediately. The virus dies immediately in a saliva sample once it hits the air. However, a direct bite would be enough for the infection to survive and be transferred if skin is broken.

So if you haven't been bitten by these things, you're safe. If you have you need to reach out to Medical immediately, but I don't think that's the case because it seems to be a very fast moving virus. After infection it looks like it'll turn the person within 24 hours, if that.

Doctor Caitlin Snow is going to be working on a vaccine just in case someone gets bit, but now that we know what's going on we're obviously going to have to take extreme caution. Defense or anyone who's going out there is going to need to make sure all exposed limbs are covered in a thick material to avoid penetration in case a bite takes place. If anyone has any questions I'll try to answer them to my fullest capability, but I'm just a forensic scientist. Dr. Snow is going to be making an update soon about the vaccine and what she'll use, all serious medical questions and concerns should most likely go to her.

LATER EDIT; FILTER TO DEFENSE AND TECH.

The suits for Sara and Natasha are ready. For everyone in defense, whether you have a suit or not, you need to meet up with a guy named Cisco Ramon in tech. He knows how to make specialized suits and he knows how to make them work with your abilities, which is why I don't set myself on fire every time I break out into a run.

He can't make you anything if he doesn't have your measurements and now that we know this is going on, all of us are going to need protection. You can drop a comment here under this filter for him so he can see it, either a time that you can meet up with him or your measurements. We all need to make sure we're protected against this, try to make it a priority.

You know, I'm grateful and all...I am. But twenty-four hours is a long time to stay put after the night (or day, I guess now) I've had. To the fast man in the red, if you're here...thank you.

CAROLINE.

I won't pretend to understand how that worked, what you did. I'm sure that it couldn't have been an easy decision for you, to give up your privacy like that for a stranger. I won't forget it.

MEDICAL STAFF.

You've all been really lovely so far, thank you. I'll be out of your hair as soon as I'm allowed, I promise.

I believe I read that there were people here from other planets.

Are you human?

[Tech/Defense]

I know that we are very low on supplies, but I was thinking that if it would be possible to recover some on the next supply run, I might be able to build a drone that could watch the perimeter and give defense a little assistance.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be possible to get my hands on potassium nitrate, sulfur, or charcoal around here, would it?

[Parrish]

I enjoyed the dance.

So lots of new faces lately - let's do an ice breaker. Two truths and lie - super easy. Say your name and then three things about yourself where two are the truth and one is a lie and then everyone gets to suss out what's what. Look, I'll even start!

Hi, I'm Caroline.

1. I have two tattoos.
2. I'm from Minnesota.
3. I was Valedictorian at my high school.

JOEY.

You miss everything.

DEFENSE.

I'd like to do some training with those of us who didn't spend a whole lot of time out there before winding up in Camp - things specific to the threats that I know are out there so you'll all feel as prepared as you can be for anything breaching our walls or going out on supply runs. It looks like that's mostly Charlie and Delta teams and I think tomorrow afternoon would be a good time - Bravo's on patrol so that frees all of us up. Does this work for all of you? If it doesn't let me know and I can find an alternate time.

CAROLINE + JOEY.

Dinner tonight? It's been a while.

WHO: Caroline & OPEN
WHERE: The kitchen in the community center
WHEN: Wednesday afternoon
WHAT: Prepping food, signing TSwift, someone go bug her!
WARNINGS: Nada, will update if needed
STATUS: OPEN!

After that helpful welcome, thank you again, Ms. Potts, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name's Rogue and I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't used to this sort of thing. I've also been assigned to the delta defense team.

I really don't want to do this over the net but

For the sake of transparency, I should tell y'all that I'm a mutant. One of my powers involves touch and I can't turn it off. When I make skin to skin contact with people I absorb their life energy, their memories, and temporarily their powers if they got any. It's why I wear gloves at all times and would appreciate some distance for all our sakes.

Hey folks. The lovely Ms. Forbes gave me the welcome spiel already. Been awhile since I've been temporally displaced, especially such a small jump. Almost a little disappointed there, though the lovely variety of blood thirsty monsters just about makes up for it.

For those of you I haven't been lucky enough to have a face-to-face with, name's Captain Jack Harkness. Officially I'll be with your defense outfit here, but I've dabbled in lots of areas in my time, so if anyone else ever needs a...hand with anything, feel free to let me know.
