Guppy is sitting by the infirmary, having dinner and people watching, although it's looking a little on the quiet side.

He'd be happy to talk to anyone, otherwise he'll end up having to do his paperwork.

"We can't be all that interesting to watch." The bio weapon states from her place in the rafters. No guns today. Those are put up. Not that she has any use for them yet and she remembers this doctor from when she'd been in the infirmary. He'd seemed a bit lost at the time.

[ooc: Sorry, you missed me by minutes]

Guppy glances up, smiles and nods.

"True, but it beats paperwork."

"Well, I'll give you that much. It's a whole lot better than paperwork."

Guppy sips his tea.

"How are you doing Alice?"

"I've been doing rather well. How've you been lately, doctor?"

"I'm well thank you." he says with a smile.

"Would you like some tea?"

"I'd love some." She states jumping down from the rafters and landing near his table.

He pours her a cup and passes it.

"Milk and sugar in the pots."

She adds a bit of both. "Been keeping yourself preoccupied?"

"It's always a busy job, especially when I'm juggling this place with Holby. It's very busy back home at this time of year."

He sips his tea. "What about you?"

"Determining whether I want to go home and end up dying again or not."

It's said lightheartedly but with an added seriousness to it.

Guppy's expression becomes serious in response.

"That's certainly a tough decision."

"It is but at the same time isn't. I'll end up going."

Guppy nods.

"Everyone goes eventually."

He sips his tea. "Is it inevitable that it will kill you?"

"It isn't inevitable. But it more than likely will and they'll inject me like they've always done to raise me from the dead again. They're fools really."

"Have you tried talking to Hank about this? The man's a treasure trove of good ideas."

"No, I haven't. I try not getting people involved that don't really need to be. No need to have them turning into zombies and the like."

"Well even if he couldn't come with you he might be able to help you in other ways. Wasn't he working on the virus?"

"He was working on a cure for it but there's no way you can cure a whole entire city."

"Your whole city is affected?"

He shakes his head. "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, except good luck."

"Yeah, the whole city is infected safe for S.T.A.R.S and a few of Umbrella Corps' people."

[ooc: *kicks Gmail* Sorry]

"What size population?"

"Way too many to count."

"Roughly speaking. Ten thousand, twenty?"

"Around in that area of thinking sounds right."

"Mass vaccination isn't impossible for numbers that size. You'd need a heck of a lot of preparation but... is it transferrable from human to human?"

"Human to human, animal to human... and in closed quarters an airborn virus."

"Shit. They really knew what they were doing."

He shakes his head. "Well I don't know what else to say, but is there anything I can do?"

"They turned me into a bio weapon, of course they knew what they were doing."

She watches him for a moment. "Just make sure to talk to Hank. Get to know everything about the T-virus so that you don't feel so helpless if I end up falling through that door half dead or something."

Guppy nods.

"Will do."

When I find him

"And even if I don't catch up with him before then, I'll treat you as best I can to keep you alive until he gets there. I could put you in stasis if we got really desperate."

"That sounds like a plan to me. It's better than dying."

Guppy nods.

"It's some sort of time stopping thing."

A pause. "Have you tried magical healing?"

"I don't deal in magic so no. I've not tried any type of magical healing."

"Might be worth a try if you can find a healer. I'm not too keen on it either but it has its uses."

He gets up. "I'm afraid I have to head back to work now, but best of luck."

"Don't work too hard, Doc."

With his overtime averaging four hours a time at the moment, she gets a rueful smile for that.

"I'll try. Take care Alice."

He finishes his tea and heads off.
