IMPORTANT: NOTES TO SELF!

1. Keep ALL bodily fluids to yourself, unless you have taken a pill from the jar beside the kitchen sink within the past twelve hours. Always set a timer when you take it.

2. Bleach is under the kitchen sink; disinfect things as needed.

3. Any sign of cognitive impairment, isolate and notify the infirmary immediately.

4. The shower upstairs responds to voice commands and will run a decontamination cycle upon request.

5. See the Kellis-Amberlee information pamphlet below for more details.

6. For general schedule and responsibilities, see the list below that.

7. You are a werewolf, so watch your temper and your appetite. Feelings and hunger hit you hard. Packmates on board are Will Graham and Malcolm Bright.

Kellis-Amberlee: The Basics

[talesuntold]

Kellis-Amberlee is a filovirus that resulted from the combination of two manmade helper viruses in the summer of 2014. Marburg-Amberlee was a filovirus that attacked cancerous cells. The Kellis flu was a rhinovirus intended to cure the common cold, released before it was ready for human testing during a raid conducted on Dr. Alexander Kellis' laboratory.

Both of these helper viruses worked exactly as intended, with one side effect. The cures for cancer and the common cold caused the zombie uprising.

Although the virus in its dormant state is supposedly not transmissible on the Barge, every single mammal on my version of Earth is infected. Nothing and no one under 40 pounds, however, can undergo viral amplification and become a zombie.

Signs of viral amplification:

dry mouth and throat

enlarged pupils

impaired motor skills and reflexes

gradual loss of cognitive functioning and memory

I do have a stash of blood tests that can be used to confirm whether amplification has begun, and will leave some in the infirmary as well as my cabin. My skin has been modified so that I cannot bleed while on the Barge, but please use tests if you suspect you've been infected.

The amplified virus is transmissible through fluid contact with the undead, not just through bites - you have to watch your mucus membranes. And my blood should always be treated as a biohazard.

Headshots are the surest way to take down a KA zombie, but try to do it from far enough away or with sufficient protective gear that you don't risk getting blood on your face. I have a kill switch designed to take me out if I turn, so they should no longer be necessary in my case, but it's useful knowledge to have in case of broader infection.

Inmate

Inmate
Red - leprechaun, thousands of years old; what he is changes based on collective human belief systems, so he's been other things before, and floods and breaches hit him particularly hard because they're more lives stuffed in there on top of all the ones he's already lived.

Deals are important to him, so be prepared to negotiate trades if necessary, and don't get offended if he turns down some things you offer. The value of a deal is determined by what something is worth to you.

Time with dogs and outdoors is very good for him.

Referred to as Sweeney in the official paperwork, but doesn't prefer being called that.

DOG CARE!

[talesuntold]

1. Her name is Fetch. She'll answer to it.

2. Her food is in the kitchen in the bin beside the fridge.

3. Needs attention and exercise; spend some time with her every day and bring her out to run around.

Alternate care:
If you can't or don't want to look after her, the following backup options are available.
1. Red, Cabin 306 (currently staying in 619 or 411)
2. Taylor Vauhan-Kiryu, Cabin 518
3. Will Graham, Cabin 307
4. Kennels, just down the hall. Call B if you need assistance.
