Montgomery glanced over at Kaz. “Care to field that one, Doctor?”
Kaz cleared his throat. “Thus far, yes. However, I’ve cross-referenced the virulence of the spread with that of other infectious diseases. By my calculation, it’s only a matter of time, perhaps just a few days, until healthy adults start manifesting symptoms.”
“And when that happens,” said Montgomery, “we’re looking at this.”
As if the representation of the Earth were a living creature that had suddenly been pricked with thousands of holes, red began to bleed across its landmasses. Even though he’d been the one to help design this simulation, Kaz felt his stomach clench.
Mercilessly the red tide spread, blossoming like a deadly flower, until all but a few infinitesimal, isolated patches of land remained unconquered.
The Earth was covered with red.
Was covered with Borg.
