Update on the mysterious packages. Sherlock and I did some science, and we figured out that for the ones that made people go blind and mute -- those were the only samples we got -- there was some kind of toxin on the items inside. It penetrates the skin very easily, but its toxicity window is small after being exposed, so there weren't any secondary infections from the same box. Unfortunately, I can't say much more than that, unless anyone opens a package and finds a fully stocked lab.

Probably you've already been able to guess as much, but here's the kicker. I have a box here that controlled someone's mind, altered their behavior, and made them obsessed with someone else. That toxin isn't present in this box. As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with this very lovely sweater featuring a moose and a tree.

I'm out of science to do here, so I'm wondering... Some of you guys out there know a thing or two about... magic, for lack of a better word, right?

Any takers?

[Where the hell does this crazy stuff come from? There was a time when Bruce would have resisted these kinds of things, but then he made himself into a rage-induced gamma monster. He doesn't think he's in a position to judge anymore.]

Could be. At this point you're more of an expert than I am. Can you... I don't know how these things work. Do you have a spooky sensor or something?

[ Spooky sensor - Jesse giggles at that, glancing over at Bruce. ] Nah, I barely know how it works myself. I just know it spread through a bite. So unless the poor bastard who got infected was bitten... I think m'useless here. [ He looks back down, and rubs at the back of his neck, with a sigh. ] I think if there was somethin' fucked up in dreams going on, I could help, though.

I'll keep that in mind. [And he smiles even though as he says it, he wonders if their captors keep that kind of thing in mind too.]

Is this one of those things where I lie on a couch and tell you about my mother?

[ Snort. ] I don't understand what's goin' on in my head most of the time, man, there's no way I could navigate someone else's mojo. Mine's more of a 'beat the shit outta the nightmare' approach. Works wonders, like an apple a day.
