jones83 @alphajack Present.

harpermd @alphajack unfortunately yeah

alphajack good. quarantine in place & partial hub lockdown in effect. reports?

toshtech @alphajack Still sick!

jones83 @alphajack Still healthy!

harpermd @alphajack still can't feel my legs

gwencopper OH SHIT BRB

alphajack @gwencopper you ok?

jones83 @alphajack I think she means she still has diarrhea, Jack.

alphajack @jones83 oh.

harpermd @jones83 why thank you teaboy

jones83 @harpermd You're very welcome, Owen. Perhaps next time you'll read the label more carefully before opening the container?

harpermd @jones83 look, it was in an alien language, ok

jones83 @harpermd It was written in Greek, Owen. Even _Jack_ can read Greek.

alphajack @jones83 only the pornography bits!

jones83 @alphajack You're really not helping.

harpermd @jones83 right, so now I know what 'epidemic samples from the 2nd millennium' looks like in greek. i'll be sure to remember that next time

gwencopper back. fucking dysentery. did i miss anything?

toshtech @gwencopper Not really, just the boys going at it again ^_^

gwencopper @alphajack am i allowed to call Rhys?

alphajack @gwencopper calling is fine, but no physical contact. we've got to let these burn out for another day or so.

harpermd @alphajack i should hope it's only one more day! i miss my legs. polio sucks

alphajack @harpermd just be glad the doses weren't stronger.

gwencopper @harpermd well, it's not like you'd miss much else down there anyway.

harpermd @gwencopper oh shut it you

toshtech @gwencopper LOL!

jones83 @gwencopper Well played, madam.

gwencopper @toshtech @jones83 :o)

alphajack as fun as it is to discuss owen's size, can we please get back to business? @toshtech how's the smallpox?

toshtech @alphajack Better, thx. I hope the boils won't scar. Also, readings came in, our container was the only one in a 1000km radius

alphajack @toshtech excellent =) as soon as my fever drops, let's destroy it as safely as possible.

harpermd @jones83 i bet he likes to discuss it. bloody wanker

jones83 @harpermd Not when I'm around, he doesn't. We're usually too busy to talk.

harpermd @jones83 ...and i really needed that image, thanks

alphajack @harpermd @jones83 you do realize I can read everything you're saying, yes? not that I mind you talking about me...

jones83 @alphajack Never fear, I don't kiss and tell. Most of the time.

jones83 Well, if that's all, I'm off to get lunch. Any special requests?

toshtech @jones83 Anything with a side of cortisone, please.

gwencopper @jones83 i'd ask for the biggest pizza you can order, but...

harpermd @jones83 go fuck yourself

jones83 @harpermd Last I checked, that wasn't on the menu.

jones83 Back in ~20min with fresh chicken soup. If any of you cross-contaminate each other, I swear I will _end_ you.

toshtech @jones83 Thx Ianto. You're a dear. ^_^

jones83 @toshtech I do try. :]

alphajack @jones83 I don't know, I kind of want YOU for lunch…

jones83 @alphajack Only if it's possible to have sex without you infecting me with Spanish influenza.

jones83 @alphajack And sex is hardly advisable in your...weakened state.

alphajack @jones83 I'm sure a hazmat suit is sufficient protection. shame they don't make them ribbed or flavored...

alphajack @jones83 hey! just wait, I'll show you 'weakened'!

harpermd @alphajack @jones83 OI GET YOUR OWN ROOM
