"Hey Jun Min, umm...believe me, no one hates invasive mind reading more than I, but I'm going to bet James isn't exactly talkative right now, and...screw it. Can you use your telepathy to go through his memories and find some clue as to how he was exposed to this thing? And have you heard any other people complaining about stomach aches or other early symptoms...we're going to be in real trouble if this is just the first case of a widespread outbreak." But my money is on a targeted attack...I wonder if those jump suits did have anything to do with it. The coincidence is a little suspicious.
Jun Min reluctantly answers, “I will have to talk to Paragon about that, I am not exactly keen on abusing my powers more then I have to, and I have not exactly enjoyed the last few times… we will discuss that when you get here.”
“But as far as other students having problems, none yet, we believe this is an isolated incident,”

"No emergency," he says, placing his hand over the speaker again. "Well, no emergency emergency. Just impatient, I guess." He called me 'sir'. That's actually kind of embarrassing...that guy's like twice my age.
"Of course sir," the pilot replies.

"By the way," he says, speaking to Jun Min again, "Kelly's started whining about how the whole world is going to hell, how she's out of hope, how it's one thing after another. Any advice?"
Jun Min sighs, “Ryan, you really need an education in interpersonal relations; put her on the phone, let me talk to her.”
Tommy returns to his work, “I am not going to lie to you and try and comfort you Kelly; I do not intellectually understand what you feel and that isn’t needed for me to complete my role so I will say to you simply; either live or die. Just do something.”
Mr. Smith interjects from his reading, “Miss Mitchell would you like some tea to settle your nerves?”
Gilden
The nurse turns off the monitor, “You are in Verona, at the UNJE Verona Facility.” The nurse is a soul-less though human looking automaton; she smiles but her eyes seem empty and distant, very far away.
The monitor flares back to life and he is looking at Gadget on the screen, “Oh there you are! I got my body back, it feels so nice to be in my own skin again… so how are you feeling?” And no I am not actually seeing you through the monitor I hacked the security system and tracked you down, and then voila, here I am. Are you hungry?”
Karen
Kal smiles, “Now you are talking, let’s eat… I am so hungry I could eat a horse, a cow, a whole coop of chickens… well you know what I mean. You look great by the way, never change, I mean, well you can change just not too much.”
The two arrive at the common eating area, “I think I need a vacation,” he says to Karen.
The Common Area
Tina glares at Anika shattering her metal fork in rage, “You just won’t be happy till I put you in the hospital… just because you think you are in charge don’t mean anything chica. If anything Ryan should be running the team, you and Mark are pathetic, totally inept at doing anything worthwhile.”
“Hell if it were not for Ryan and me, you and Mark would be in the hospital or dead,” she pauses, “and yet none of you freaking care… all you do is bitch and moan about your pathetic lives.”
