SNEAK PEAK THEATRE (some a possibility that may arise)

"We're sure there's no chance of it becoming airborne or anything?"
A snort, muffled by the lab HAZMAT suits each were wearing. "Not in the slightest. This little bastard's only transmittable by an exchange of bodily fluids. Specifically, just like most of the fictional material available to our Earth and the not-so-fictional material we've been able to gain from the other one suggests, saliva and blood. We don't have any idead about sexual transmission, however. In addition, all the tests we've been able to conduct since we isolated it last week indicate it cannot survive outside of a human host and only a human host - we've been using heated blood packs as test mediums - for longer than several minutes." You could almost hear him frown at that point. "Though we still don't know why. Whenever it is outside of a human biological culture for longer than three to five minutes, it literally dissolves."
The first figure turned to look at him. "'Dissolves?'"
Figure numero deuce nodded. "Like an Alka-Seltzer in water."
"Well that's interesting," he muttered back. "I know that these kinds of studies can't be rushed, but can I assume that you and your team are ready to make a preliminary report on your findings considering you called me down here? As the only organization in Fenspace with an infectious diseases study program, we don't only have an image to maintain, but to create to begin with, you know."
"Yes, sir. A report on our preliminary findings will be ready for presentation to the council by sometime tomorrow."
"Very good, then," the authority figure responded. Light glinted for a moment of an ID pass on his chest.
[NERV SECTION FOUR - SECURE LAB ACCESS][FENNETE, JOSEPH - SEELE-LEVEL CLEARANCE]
The CEO of WilPharma perked up suddenly. "Oh, by the way, have you decided on a proper scientific name for it yet?" He still couldn't believe that such an historically recognized disease - on the other Earth, at least - could lack such a basic designation.
"Sure have, sir"
Idly tapped the screen hat showed the magnified image of a retrovirus labeled HLV-1.
"Human Lycanthropy Virus One."
