"An' I'm sorry t'say it, but we don't know a whole lot about what we got. Ain't contagious by touch, but fluids gettin' crossed is another matter. Real common to end up a zed from a bite.

Most don't know enough to pound sand down a rat hole, y'hear? Ain't gonna come into the Nexus and look for nice conversation, if ya follow me."
