Hall looks at Anson, then at the isolation suits in the exam room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Have you worked in them?” asks Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Not for real,” says Anson, “But I’ve been drilling in them for three months.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Thank God for an expert,” replies Hall. “This sorta thing’s new to me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“New to all of us” says Anson. “Until now, Wildfire’s been like a game. We’ve even had simulation biowar games here, with live subjects – – volunteers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anson pauses. “I mean I’m scared,” she says. “Never believed this could really happen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Well, it has happened,” says Hall. He turns back to the computer console. “I’ll need some lab tests.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anson sits Hall down in front of the console, and types commands into MEDCOM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Use this to check off what you want,” says Karen Anson, holding a light pen. “Just touch the pen to the screen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall starts checking off blood tests on the screen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
