: Food for thought - how happy would an unscrupulous biocorp be to have a large, roving group of test subjects...er...people...visiting potential disease vectors...er...towns?
Even more ominous... what if the group wandering
around the country is the one spreading the
disease? A few weeks into their tour, people
start noticing that wherever they've been, they
leave a trail of sickness in their wake, perhaps
unintentionally, perhaps as a way to drum up
additional media attention to the show. After all,
if the media picks up on the rampant illness,
and makes the connection, they'll start paying
more attention to the show, and more press
means more audience, and more audience means
more money.
