hey. sorry. got carried away and forgot to say hi properly
okay, that makes a lot of sense. and yeah it was about the lycanthropy thing. I don't want to give it to anyone by accident. about the being tied to my own planet thing, I don't know. I've never been to another planet before, so I haven't tested it out, and really, how would you even test that?
sorry again, talking a lot. I guess I'm kind of nervous about this. I can only pass it along on the full moon
you have to be really careful during the full moon, because normally it doesn't pass on at all, bite or not. but during the full moon you can pass it the same way you could literally any type of virus or bacteria. biting, yeah, but also anything else that might exchange bodily fluids, like dressing a wound when you're wounded, sex, kissing when you have a sore in your mouth. anything like that
so it's kinda important to know. I have no idea why I didn't think about this already
actually, probably because I wasn't at much risk of passing anything before
But I'd keep everything in mind anyway, just in case. The fact that we have nothing here on the station, the fact that we most likely will have places with full moons we travel to on missions. And, I'm not sure how easy it would be, but if you can count your days spent here and try to line them up with how the cycles of the moon change where you're from, you can get an idea of when abouts to at least be careful, as a precaution.
yeah, it's a lot more than a lot of people think. it's probably why most packs have some kind of "don't have romances with humans" type rule in place, even ours. it's so easy to infect someone by accident if you don't pay attention at the right times of the month
and yeah I was planning to be careful. I've been keeping track of days, at least, and I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the moon cycle right now. I wish it wasn't so hard to test without like, infecting someone. do you know of any biology scientisty types who might be able to do tissue samples? I dunno what else we'd do
I would ask Newton, probably. His work during our mission got results which aided in reversing the "infection" that was spreading.
And as the person who had to rifling through body parts to steal for him back when we were first attacked, I can assure you he has experience with tissue samples.
[Oh, Newt. Yep. Probably the one with the most to gain from Dusty knowing what cycle of the moon it is too. Whoops.]
oh yeah, Newt. I'll ask him for sure, he got some samples from me on the planet too, because the infection interacted weird with the lycanthropy. you really stole body parts for him? that's insane
that's pretty badass actually. gross, but badass. I'll definitely send Newt a message to ask him about it. do you want me to keep up with you and let you know what we find?
it would be kind of nice to have someone to look into all this with, and I like you
If you wouldn't mind keeping me updated, I'd appreciate it.
It might also be the sort of thing helpful to use as a baseline if we acquire any new teammates in the future who have similar issues they need to look into.
[ Also, now that he's discussing it, he's just curious. ]
of course I will. and you're right about that. it never occurred to me that there might be other werewolves arriving sometime. that would be so cool, I wonder if it'll work the same way for them that it does for me. wow
oh, same. they were just the only ones I could think of off the top of my head who go by moon cycles. I bet there's others out there that do too, though

My own experience with the fiction of it is through those means. So I'm asking because I have no idea if other ways exist in other places.

It was worth it.
But it was absolutely disgusting.
