After Jean had spoken with Logan a couple weeks ago, she had made the sound decision to keep her mind a little more open to the goings-on at the mansion. As some might phrase it, 'the natives were getting restless.'
Those infected with the Upir Virus were starting to feel more and more like caged animals and some were even showing the tell-tale signs of 'jumping ship,' as it were. Granted, some were still coping better than others, but there were a few who seemed emotionally unstable. Mars was one person that Jean had been worrying about since day one. He had always had trouble controlling his anger and now that he had been infected with this illness, it was becoming even more apparent that he needed to be closely monitored. Last thing they needed now was someone to end up getting hurt, infected, or worse....
When Jean had settled down in her office chair that evening, she began typing in the data they (Brian, Joe, Hank, etc.) had collected that day. And since inputting data didn't require a higher-brain function, the redheaded telepath decided to let her mind wander. She let it reach out and scan over all those within the mansion and its grounds, and for a moment she couldn't sense anything out of the ordinary, or at least anything that demanded her immediate attention.
Then she felt it. A psychic spike, which indicated emotional turbulence. One that would surely lead to violence.
Down the hall from where she was, a heated argument had broken out. And it concerned Mars and Zap. Great, this was just what they needed now: a lover's quarrel. But this was no ordinary, run-of-the-mill spat between husband and wife. Mars was extremely upset and he was desperate - so desperate, in fact, that he was willing pass the curse that had been given to him to someone he loved dearly.
Shit.
Brian, Joe... you need to get to the workshop! Ronan's just attacked Zalika, Jean projected to her fellow doctors, while she rose from her seat (computer and data abandoned) and tore out of her office.
[ OOC: Okay, let's try this one more time. Lol. ]
