He makes a face. Thanks for bringing that up, Howard. Zouichi isn't at all sure that any food the ship would have brought over with this place would have been edible, anyway -- no telling how long the diner's been around.

"If they do," says Zouichi, "That would be the end of the majority of the crew. N5S is incredibly fast-acting, airborne, and the infection rate is almost 100 percent, with the sole exception being Accommodators. There's a reason most of the humans of my world were forced to live in disease shelters. The only variable is whether the nonhuman members of the crew would be susceptible."

Also, he would probably have to kill off the infected crew members.
