Tests on the biological samples gathered earlier this week have returned.

[ some of you might know what he's talking about, most of you probably don't. regardless, moving right along: ]

Blood and tissue samples contain genetic markers for crabs, canines and snails, in addition to markers the lab was unable to isolate and match.

Tests on the crab venom bear similarity to something called a black mamba and some kind of snail venom, but also included unidentifiable markers.

The tissue and blood samples showed signs of DNA degradation [ which he attributes to the carcass having been out in the sun for awhile, though it had seemed fresh at the time, ] while the separate markers themselves appear to be both linked and disparate in their presentation.

It was still evolving.

No.

[ if anything, he'll be surprised if the list breaks into double digits. ]

But anyone at that level of skill will have the paranoia to match. If the gangs aren't after them then the authorities will be. It will make finding them difficult.

[ difficult, though not impossible. just like everything else. ]

The Gangs might be a good place to start.

I think I follow your logic. They peddle in drugs, right?

It's just ... You're missing a step here. A really big one.

They have no reason to know that this drug exists in the first place. I mean, why would they know something that Morningstar and their lab contact doesn't know? Think of the scene involved from day one with us, and the information that everything got swept away.

I think you're looking somewhere that would be interested only if they knew. We need to look somewhere that someone would already know.

True, but it will take time to infiltrate the more legitimate corporate groups. Unless you're suggesting making use of Morningstar's resources?

[strove]

I want to find out what we need to know as quickly as anyone else, but we have to be smart about this. Going the wrong path might alert people that we're trying to find it at all.

We use the time we have to look into corporate interests.

And I don't have access to Morningstar's resources, so I don't really consider them.
