I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.

Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can't knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was "sterile rot". A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube's inefficiency as a shot glass.

(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)

(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)

ID: the disability flag. the colors are all a pastel/low saturation in order to be gentle on the eyes. The background of the flag is a charcoal gray, and there are five (5) colored lines running from the top left corner, down to the bottom right corner. the lines, from top to bottom, are green, which represents sensory disabilities, blue, which represents psychiatric disabilities, white, which represents undiagnosed and invisible disabilities, yellow/gold, which represents cognitive and intellectual disabilities, and red, which represents physical disabilities. the charcoal gray background mourns disabled people who have died due to negligence, suicide, rebellion, illness, and eugenics. the second image shows the color pallete of the flag and provides the aforementioned meaning of each color. End ID.
