@TalenAyers: @DanielRothfuss Is this line secure?

@DanielRothfuss: @TalenAyers It is now. What seems to be the problem?

@TalenAyers: @DanielRothfuss Don’t play with me, Rothfuss. What did you tell her?

@DanielRothfuss: @TalenAyers Excuse me? Tell whom?

@TalenAyers: @DanielRothfuss Talise. She’s put in for a transfer. What did you tell her, dammit?

@DanielRothfuss: @TalenAyers Calm down, Talen. Talise asked me to find out what the Dominion was hiding from her.

Chat Log 82.34.0881 between T. Ayers and T. Cogan

23:15:02 Blackstone Standard Time

T. Ayers: There you are!

T. Ayers: . . .

T. Ayers: Talise? I’m getting an “active” notification from your desk. I know that you’re there.

T. Cogan: Sorry. I’ve been with

T. Cogan: It took me a while to get that roach effluvium scrubbed from the lab.

T. Ayers: Hmm, that was an unexpected treat, wasn’t it? An entire bladder of volatile enzymes triggered to erupt upon penetration. It’s almost as though somebody doesn’t want us cutting into these buggers.

T. Cogan: Yes.

T. Ayers: That was a joke, my dear.

T. Cogan: Oh, right. Sorry. Listen, I have been wanting to

T. Cogan: Never mind.

T. Cogan: I just need a little sleep. First thing tomorrow I will make sure to put some notes together on what I suspect is transpiring with the roach glandular processes. As I mentioned during anatomization, the similarities between the creature’s thoracic acid bladder and the postmortem organelles we found in the mutalisk suggest another example of zerg adaptability in multipurpose internal systems.

T. Ayers: Talise

T. Cogan: I have found more support for my theory on the roach’s advanced cellular regeneration. If the reports we are getting from the field are accurate, this accelerated “healing factor” deserves special attention, especially if we wish to find a counter before the trait is passed on to the other, slower-healing zerg species. And I believe that if this ability is derived from the constant breakdown of the roach’s own modified pharynx due to the passage of acid, then the lack of insulating mucosal lining there may be seen as a deliberate effort on the part of the Alpha organism. Another case of “shotgun evolution,” as you like to call it.

T. Ayers: Talise

T. Cogan: Yes?

T. Ayers: What’s wrong? I know you well enough by now to tell when you are hiding behind your research.

T. Ayers: You have been avoiding me.

T. Cogan: No, I’ve just been buried in these new findings. I’m really

T. Cogan: There isn’t anything

T. Cogan: Okay, listen. I don’t know how to do this. I can’t

T. Cogan: I can’t do this anymore. I’ve requested transfer to another team.

T. Cogan: Please just leave me alone, Talen.

T. Ayers: What? You can’t be serious. Just like this, with no explanation?

T. Ayers: Does this have something to do with your visit with Dan? I passed along his invitation because he is trying to help us, Talise.

T. Ayers: Yes, he seems a little neurotic, and those scars on his face are alarming at first, but I assure you his intentions are noble. I’m a good judge of character, my dear.

T. Ayers: If for one moment I suspected actual treason in his
