I had come there for a job interview with the facilities manager, Mr. **DELETED**. I only had a second to snap a picture of the screen with my cell phone camera, so there might be some errors with what I typed. It was pretty hairy with NT security hustling everyone out of the office because of some incident that had happened at 3 of their research facilities. I remember thinking that it was odd because the man who came in to talk to Mr. **DELETED** keep insistent that "it" had happened at 3 separate labs and how this meant that whatever "it" was, it could happen "outside" someplace called the "Zulu Lab". I know it dosen't make sense, but I hope it helps.

The initial research that we received from Rateger Inc. was either incorrect or we have misinterpreted the results of their UNREADABLE project. It seems that Abigail Batey and the teams at Rateger were moving in a direction that NecroTech did not anticipate. There are apparently 3 forms of ‘Infection’ caused by exposure to compound **DELETED**. What we have been dealing with is now being described as a ‘Incipient Infection’ and differs from the Lazarus Infection that is being investigated. Facility staff state that after exposure to **DELETED** test subjects physical condition deteriorate rapidly with complete lose of organ function occurring within 10-24 hours of exposure depending on the test subjects activity level. Death occurs in 100% of untreated cases.
This form of infection is easily treated with antibiotics available in any household first aid kit.
Surprisingly, given its properties and the dramatic effects that we have seen at other labs working on the Lazarus Infection, Agent 51 has no effect on the incipient infection.
Standard BSI precautions will protect against infection. All test subjects were infected via injection. A single case of exposure as the result of a ‘bite’ is being investigated, but there is a great deal of confusion surrounding that incident at this time.

Please make sure that the **DELETED** group is kept up to date with this information. The Topleaf lab will also need to be kept appraised of any developments in treatment and possible impacts on Lazarus Infection research. Please make sure that **DELETED** and **DELETED** are available to answer any questions.
