[ jessica jones needs a goddamn drink.

she's read over the network, reviewing each and every post in a desperate frenzy to uncover the truth. this plague — it's hit her hard, not physically but emotionally. the infection has spread to someone close to her, and she has no idea what to do.

she hates feeling so ... helpless. ]

i need answers. this epidemic. it's more than just some flu. it's knocking people out. putting them in a goddamn coma.

nothing is working. not water or food or medicine. i don't give a damn if this involves science or magic bullshit. just tell me. how the hell do we wake them up?

[Alex is entering that into the stuff she's working on, but she tries to offer some hope.]

At least we know that the people in comas aren't getting worse from there. No one's died from this.

Are you sick yourself? Do you need some help?

[hardedged]

[ yeah, no one's died — yet. ]

all i need is to figure this shit out. if you don't have answers, just back off. save your pity for somebody else.

Sorry. I'm working on investigating it though. Would it be okay if I asked you some questions? It's not just to be invasive, I promise.

[Alex is actually not bothered by people being short with her, especially in situations like this one.]

[hardedged]

depends. show me yours, and i might show you mine.

[ investigating, huh? that's right up her alley. ]

Okay. I'm Alex Reagan and I'm investigative journalist. I'm not a doctor or a cop so I want to get that out of the way first.

But what I know is that this seems to be made by someone. Or someones who have knowledge of both magic and technology. Advanced tec. It also was released, I think. What I'm looking for is to see if I can find a point of origin to work backwards from there.
