"Or if you want to get really conspiracy theorist about it, it was already on the ship and someone on XaXing just activated it. But that's probably too far-fetched." Not that they're not being conspiracy theorists right now anyway.

"But you were talking a minute ago about it being untraceable." He shakes his head again. Paranoid as he is, something about it seems off. "If it was a weapon, why use it on random people? Why not target, say, Council or Rogue Squadron or hell, even us in Medical? Some of the people affected so far just seem to be goons, not anyone with all the battle strategy or technical knowledge. If someone really wanted to do damage, they'd try to cripple a department, and right now the only department really tied up is us."

He finally gives in and starts pacing. "Might not be worth the effort. Firstly, not everyone's going to show us what they got in XaXing, even if it seems harmless. Secondly, this might be an attack by someone from the inside who wouldn't show it to us even though they know it's doing this. Thirdly, everyone in XaXing was offering people weird crap. We'd need a better idea of what we're looking for."

After all, he's not going to show people that he stocked up on high-grade narcotics and amphetamines while on XaXing, and he doubts he's the biggest person to worry about on Stacy.
