or come see me if you like, of course
doors always open etc etc

( mila is pleased to hear that, if not at all chastened to be corrected. rather than text back, given that their offices are not that far apart and why weren't they doing this in person already, she tucks her device in a pocket and a folder under her arm-- knocks loosely on his doorframe to announce herself.

she is quite at home in xenogen, in a way she wasn't really, in medical. )

I really wish we had an epidemiologist, occasionally. Still. This is my current lead project, working primarily with Rick Grimes. He's a Gunnery man, had an appalling beard.

[ It's because Charles will text people he's in the same room with, honestly, but then again, she did start it. He's already making a start on the XG database when she gets there, but he gladly idles the screen and turns his attention around to the newest staff member of the group. ]

I've not met him.

[ :);;; ]

Part of your medical work you're bringing across?

Mm. ( force of habit makes her glance inside the folder briefly before pushing it across his desk, despite the fact she knows what's in it and probably looked once before leaving her own office.

also, she did start it, and she's just as bad, so, you know. sometimes you're multitasking. )

I had two similar projects previously - I'll tinker with those, still, but they're less urgent and have been relegated back to personal interest. ( as whoever brought them to her attention is no longer here. ) When I put Mr Grimes in quarantine, I listed him in Medical as having an immunodeficiency disorder that requires ongoing monitoring to ensure that he is not more adversely affected by what happens here than the next poor bastard.

That is true.

I did not think it was necessary, at the time, to have a readily available record of what could happen to his body in the event that his disorder progresses. People are quite excitable. If he were to die with his disease in an active state, his corpse will be reanimated into a mindless, hungry, decomposing thing. It's hard to definitively say whether or not it would be contagious in that state - the infection is present in living, otherwise seemingly healthy people, and kicks in at the point of death regardless of what caused that death.

Which gives me reason to believe it would not, and therefore be more easily contained in the event of an incident. I've used my own best judgement about what's best for him and his treatment.

[ Charles reads as she talks. It's probably just the way the month has gone that he himself is not quite 'excitable' about this news himself -- that, and he imagines Dr Gallo has it readily in hand. It's nothing he's heard of himself, save for-- ]

We had a similar case, here. Under Dr Knutson's charge. I'll refer you to the file if it might have anything useful. The subject's departed.

[ He looks back up at her, accomplishing the hint of a half-smile, pushed the file back to her. ]

Severus and myself had no reservations with sensitive information on the database. You're free to lock it for your patient's privacy as well as general-- security, let's call it. It would be good to have a record on hand with an up to date, detailed account of your work, lest you vanish abruptly too.

[ NOT THAT HE'S BITTER OR ANYTHING no that's a little jokey in delivery while being dead serious, rather than scathing or even touching on feelings. ]

( her smile is a thin mirror of that sentiment, and she admits, ) I've kept records as I go for that reason. I simply wasn't sharing them with anyone, though I had considered Dr Knutson as a second opinion. I'd like to be able to give the Grimes' something they can theoretically recreate in their own environment.

( even the vaguest touching on of mila's history makes it clear why she might seek outside assistance to be sure of achieving that; her work is not exactly civilian standard. )

Obviously, I've since reconsidered my choice. But Xenogen seems a fitting place to look, regardless. There's been crossover before.

Entirely appropriate. Obviously, ensure they're aware and comfortable with visiting the labs. It's not as busy as the medical bay but a little traffic never hurts anyone. There are observation rooms if needed--

[ Gesturing with a pen, he pauses, remembering something. ]

--well, you'll want to be careful of the one with the boggart in it.

Christ, ( sort of resigned. )

I suppose it had to end up somewhere.

[ He tosses the pen back onto the desk, also sort of resigned. ]

It certainly did. But there's also vodka in the sample freezers.
