"Doctor, do you have any idea where this 'station' would be? Or anyone else for that matter," Professor Fate asked. "It appears that Paul isn't completely aware of his actions. I believe the fungus is acting through him - perhaps it even started the cravings . . . regardless, I think it is worth a shot at trying to save him - if a viable idea can developed. My specialty doesn't lie in the sciences, and I'm not certain we have very much time. Like Jorgi said, the guy just tried to drop a building on us."

Dr. Linderman looks deep in thought for a moment. "Sorry, but I don't know what this 'station' is that he's referring to. He says that it's ideal for growing large quantities of fungus, so it's likely somewhere warm, moist, and probably dark. And somewhere that he's not going to be easily found. Has there been any pattern to the appearance of the fungus in the city?"
He looks over at the screen as Jorgi pulls up some of the decrypted files.
"This is what was in the other files? It's all just raw genetic data. Assuming it's what Paul mentioned in the logs it could be useful in determining what has happened to him, but it could take weeks or longer to make any sense of it.
"If there's any chance of saving Paul, which I'd really like to try to do, we may have to find a means by which to keep him sedated for quite some time. Or locked up. In the meantime, I'll have to round up some of my colleagues - especially those better versed in genetics - and see if we can't make some headway on this data."

"Pattern. Yeap, one. Becoming from the sewer. Sewers are dark, have a lot of moisture and it dark, and it is rare people wander in it. Seems to fit all what you suggest. And if that amount of fungus can come out of the sewer, his lair must be near here. It also have the advantage to be near his lab, so if he was missing something, didn't had to walk very far...
Great, seems like we will go into some sewers. I really needed that."

"Sorry, Granite, that's not something I'm very accomplished at," Fate replied, "Illusions, controlling people, stuff of that sort doesn't come very naturally to me."
"Jorgi, can you check what the first reported disturbance was this evening. If we know we have to go to the sewers, it's likely that the first disturbance is closest to where Paul may be . . . and I'm not certain that that was 'Paul' that we encountered."
"I'm not in favor of going to the sewers, either - especially since it seems that the pods once in a person kill they and control the body. But that's only a theory at this point."

CC State Campus, Coast City

At Fate's suggestion, Jorgi plugs back into the computer network and begins to hack his way into the Coast City Police Department. Getting into the system is simple enough, but sorting through the disorganized mess takes a few minutes. Finally, he finds a copy of a report only twenty minutes old that is being distributed to all the precincts in the city. It superimposes all the known problem areas on a city map.
He brings the report up on the monitor for everyone to see. The red dots on the map form a scatter-shot area centered about a mile from campus. For the most part, the area is only about two miles across, but there are some dots as much as four miles away from the center. These generally fall along major roads, and therefore likely along major sewer lines. The only mention of "station" on the map in that general area is the Harrington St. subway station.
While the others digest that information, Jorgi starts to pillage the city utilities' computers for maps of the sewers.
