Professor Fate leans over the body of the man and begins to cast a spell of healing upon him. It has no effect. Through the wounds in the man's head, it appears that the fungus is completely consuming his flesh at a rapid pace. He no longer has a pulse, either. What look like a couple of the spore pods, not yet fully developed, begin to push their way out of his mouth.
(ooc - if there's anything else you'd like to do with the body, we can cover it retroactively.)
By flight or leaping, everyone meets up on the roof of the neighboring building. Andrew is watching over the rubble from near the edge and Dr. Linderman is just arriving back of the roof, hugging an LCD monitor.
"What the heck was that noise?" Linderman says, looking in bewilderment at the group. "And where do you want your monitor? Not sure I know how to plug it in to a satellite dish."

Professor Fate shook his head, "The man is already gone . . . it seems like the fungus consumes living flesh and maybe some spores are about to come out here. I believe we should destroy it, the spores may do what happened to the other building to this one. Any other opinions before I blast it a few times?"
If not, Fate will, with a heavy heart, blast the fungus with fire until it is destroyed. His goal in life was to help people - but there was nothing more that he could think of to help this one. Heading up to the rooftop. . . .
"The noise was your building collapsing, courtesy of the fungus attack," Fate replied, "as for the monitor, that's your department, Jorgi."

Granite 3 stun 1 hp remaining
Granite shifts back to his human form and sits down and watches the others, now that the fighting was over he could relax, collecting intel wasn't his thing.
That plant guy was looking for the hard drives from the computers its pretty obvious that there is something important on them, he was pretty pissed when he discovered them missing. He tells the group.

(The body is consumed by Fate's flames and the fungus inhabiting it likewise shrivels and chars.)
"Oh dear!" Dr. Linderman says, his face losing all color. He quickly sets the monitor down and hurries to the side of the roof to survey the damage. "Do you think everyone got out?"
Jorgi wills the cables from the satellite dish to link up with the monitor. With as much concentration as it would require to eat his morning cereal, he syncs up the two systems and begins to project the output of the files onto the display.
(ooc- Is Jorgi going to start with the personal logs <hidden files>, or the genetics files <encrypted>?)

Jorgi starts to pull up the personal log files of Paul Link. He works his way backward as quickly as everyone can read the files. Sometime during the middle of this, a number of fire, police, and EMT's arrive on the scene.
To summarize the pertinent information gathered:
Paul was studying the fungus when one of the lesser energy curtains swept through the city...and the lab. Within a couple days, Paul found himself insatiably hungry, yet nothing could satisfy. Late one night, fearing he would lose his sanity with hunger, he broke down and started eating some of the Green Wool fungus. It satisfied his hunger, but only if eaten in large quantities.
Over the following days, Paul recounts how his body began to undertake strange physical changes. He was growing stronger, his skin thicker. He could see in the dark. As these changes continued, he had to eat more and more of the Green Wool. While the fungus seemed capable of growing much faster now than it had prior to the energy curtain, the size of the lab's facilities was becoming the limiting factor.
Paul mentions that he found a "secure and ideal" location, referred to as "the station," from which to grow the fungus in larger quantities as well as continue the research that he feared to do in Linderman's lab. His physical changes were too pronounced to hide any longer.
One particularly disturbing entry mentions that he fears he is falling into some sort of psychosis. He is lucid and himself for brief periods of time, in between which he has little control over his increasingly violent actions. He expresses great concern over what is happening to him.
Paul also notes that he has done a full genetic work up of the Green Wool, himself, and himself prior to the transformation (from an old hair sample). He mentions that he hopes he can understand his condition better and possibly find a cure before it is too later.
