Slouching Towards Bedlam — 7 of 76

Chapter 5 - Epidemiology and Endings

[This code follows the proliforation of the Logos. With Cleve gone, at the beginning of the game only Xavier is infected.]

A person can be infected or not infected. A person is usually not infected. The player is infected.

A person can be alive or dead. A person is usually alive.

A person can be a carrier or not a carrier.

Definition: a person is a carrier if they are alive, and they are infected.

Definition: a person is not a carrier if dead.

Instead of searching a person when the noun is dead, say "Nothing of interest is to be found on the body."

Instead of doing anything other than examining or searching or pointing at a person when the noun is dead, say "A difficult and futile task."
