Enteroviruses
reference

I don't know if I utilized this term correctly or not. The intended idea is that the virus Talley caught was somehow the result of elemental changes in (dying) Earth's atmosphere. This is meant to underscore the importance of reconnaissance missions of the type the Elephant is on; e.g. the immediacy of the need to colonize other worlds.

I wanted to include a subchapter (preceded by an asterism) in which the virus (where it came from, etc.) is more clearly explained, to close out Chapter 1. Thoughts and/or ideas? CLJohnson 01:17 8 dic 2008 (UTC)
 * In the meta file it says, "Earth is dying out"....is that related to the virus that is mentioned here? --JWSchmidt 01:09 8 dic 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it is. Good intuition there! :)  I was typing up the explanation above at the same time you posted, so I had to merge the two, haha. CLJohnson 01:21 8 dic 2008 (UTC)
 * "subchapter" <-- I'm very interested in finding new ways to use hyperlinks in fiction. I guess I naturally write digressions within digressions within digressions. Jack Vance sometimes wrote mini-stories embedded in his novels. We need to be creative and explore what is possible in wiki format! --JWSchmidt 02:48 9 dic 2008 (UTC)
