[ it's late night and Ryou is sitting on the floor of his living room surrounded by snack wrappers, empty bowls, and the like, as well as some sort of computer (whatever the fishbowl has to offer) ]

I think I've eaten the entire grocery store and just now I feel full. How odd. I know I can eat quite a bit but this is a bit ridiculous.

I've also come across some.... interesting information. That lab on the island. I think it was researching fish diseases.

[ ooc notes:
this is what he found (so I don't forget):
Bacterial diseases are the most common affliction of saltwater fish and can damage organs or cause the skin and gills to rot. There are also many parasites that can be deadly, including fish lice, which attache to the fish near its fins; flukes, which are microscopic parasites that clamp onto the body of the fish; and Ich, a parasite that multiplies on the fish very rapidly, causing the fish to isolate itself. Some of these afflictions can be treated with conditioners such as malachite and formalin. ]

[A whistle sounded.]

Hey keep that up and we'll be able to roll you around, man. [Look at all of those wrappers. Whoa.]

Fish diseases? Really? Maybe that's what caused the undead fish. Or their whacko experimentation did.

Haha, maybe. [ though Ryou is a bottomless pit and somehow super skinny. ]

All I've found is a record of types of fish diseases and parasites. I'm not too sure what went on in that lab, but it seems odd. There's definitely more to it.

Try not to bury yourself in wrappers. [Hello living proof black holes can exist in stomachs.]

All I would know I've only seen in movies or read in comic books. [A shrug offered.] It just seems majorly messed up whatever is up there. It definitely stinks of something beyond fish. Think it's connected to the "wanker" information?

I'll clean up when I'm done. [ exactly. ]

I get that feeling too. [ not that it's stopped him at all. ] I've come across a message for interns but nothing about wankers.

[Betting your abs also look like you can grate cheese on them.]

Someone else on here with their gold text mentioned wankers. It's probably code for something?

I'm certain there were other people there at the facility, but I didn't bump into any of them. It's entirely possible they have another piece to this puzzle.

You can probably find their message if you scroll back on your phone. Maybe leave them a message on their inbox just to make sure they see this.

That's a good idea. Thank you.

Glad to help. I just wonder how much more information is floating around. I keep wanting to go check, but labs remind me too much of the dentist office. [Totally making a face here.] That and not sure if I want to run in to any potential zombie outbreaks. Nu-uh. No way.

[Tech largely ignores the discarded foodstuffs. Although the network does oddly seem to be bursting at the seams with it. Something about the curse?]

Did you say "fish diseases?"

That's right. Diseases that affect fish. Ich, parasites, the like.

I know. What makes you think that was the focus of the research?

I can't say if it were the focus or not, but that's all the information I've found so far.

Well that's. Interesting. Would you mind sharing?

The note isn't too detailed, it simply notes bacterial diseases, ich, and parasites.

[ he holds the sfc to the laptop, showing what he'd found in the note. ]

[Tech's eyes narrow as he scans the screen.]

Hm. I guess there's a chance that it's just a throwaway file, but it could always be connected to something. None of the other information I've been able to see mentions anything about fish research.

It seems like it. I've considered the possibility that it's a diversion. What have you found out otherwise?

Did you? That's pretty sweet, dude!

[ and a pause as the revelation sinks in. ]

. . . Well, Vatheon's an underwater civilization. But what did they need to research disease for?

I suppose it is.

I'm not sure. The entry I've found only details the diseases like a research report.

So that's it . . . Think I can take a look?

Of course. [ he offers up the file (listed above) ]

Thanks, dude.

[ and he'll take a moment to skim. ]

That's heavy stuff. Were they trying to turn the people here into fish or something? Just studying diseases is kinda odd.

I'm beginning to believe this was just a front, though I'm certain fish disease research has its purpose on an island.

So you think they're just playing around? [ and a weak laugh. ] Yeah, it's more believable than, like, mammal disease, anyway.

The disease research seems like just a front for a grander scheme.
