Disease.

[she pulls up her right sleeve enough to let roxana see the black crystalline growths on her forearm.]

It's basically a death sentence-- we can't do anything except slow down how fast you die.

From the world. It'd just come back around to us otherwise, you know?

[(nobody should die like that.)

she'll let roxana touch though, sure, holding her arm there.]

Yeah, it is. Passes through Originium, passes through Infected blood-- or through dead Infected once it completely takes 'em over.

[it is still basically like cancer except you can catch it. awful.]

We'll see. Fixing Oripathy doesn't mean we can't still die in wars.

No, more like... it spreads through your body once you have it. Whenever you die your body disintegrates into dust that'll spread Oripathy, if it's not handled carefully.

[they are timebomb corpses. fun.]

There'll definitely still be wars for us to handle, but at least it'll be one less thing.

Hopefully! We're making decent progress on it, anyway... and even if curing Oripathy's going to throw some shit into turmoil, that'll remove some conflicts at the same time.

You don't have to put it like that.

[is it a kindness to trade a life for it? it's pragmatic, sure, but.]

... but you're not wrong about what it'll do. Can't wait to see what happens in places like Lungmen, they're gonna shit bricks when they realize they need a new excuse to keep the slums separate!

Oh, I've got no doubt at all that they will... but they're gonna have to scramble for it. They're gonna leave an opening.

[and it'll be interesting to see how things shake out when that gap is exploited.]
