I am disappointed that today’s strip number was not 7 of 9. Unless a future strip includes a reference to x = 3 so that this strip number is 7 of 9 by stealth. Which would be hilarious.
ITEM! Looks like the US and Russia have agreed on contingency plans for occasions such as this. I wonder what else they’re prepared for…
ITEM! Good thing the virus isn’t smart enough to realize that it still has the winning hand and that, even if negotiation _is_ inevitable, it’s still in position of securing a good deal for himself. Also, it’s fortunate that the virus hasn’t wondered yet if Jared is indeed in position of speaking for all mankind
ITEM! So apparently the virus is a single mind inhabiting a great number of microorganisms. I wonder if a psychic attack can incapacitate it…(just in case negotiations end up going south)
Many bacteria have had an excellent and productive career coexisting with humanity, such as the ones that help breakdown food in our digestive tracts, this virus could consult with them. Maybe as an extra layer of defense in our immune systems.
@Moebius: And that’s also presuming that the virus doesn’t yet realize that, if it can co-opt the epidermis as quickly as it did to the point of communicating through it, then, within a few hours, it could certainly co-opt the rest of the host body functions including the brain.
Why settle for coexistance when you can go for enslavement?
…and just how smart it needs to be, to start to lie? sometimes human babies grasp the concept of deceiving right before they start to speak, after all.
A fast pitch inside the strike zone…

Is that Rumy’s old roommate?

That hawaiian shirt is really giving him an air of authority in the last panel.
True that LockeZ, true that.
Oh huh, I knew I recognized her from somewhere. That does look a lot like Rumy’s old roommate, Anon.

Um, since when has killing the host EVER been the goal of any parasite?
When it was created by terrorists!
