Agents, this market is an active biocontamination hazard zone.
As per
>>6164734, you explicitly noted rememering to pack filtration masks, sterile gloves and biosampling kits, yes? If you haven't, you didn't.
Your support kits have some basic masks and gloves in them as well, which will do in a pinch. I hope you haven't given away critical mission items.
As per
>>6165094, the vans come with APEP gear pre-packaged and ready. That should seal you up completely against any biocontaminants in the local area. I am authorizing the equipping of them. Try to get there to put them on if you can.
If you didn't remember to explicitly note you brought the sterile masks and gloves, don't worry, I'm ordering an emergency delivery of small items to any drone delivery point. They'll be coming in there too. That'll tide you over. If you've got no other way of filtering up, improvise something if you have the time. And for the love of everything, don't fall unconscious off of a roof into a trash-heap containing who knows what. I don't know why I felt the need to say that. None of you would do that, right?
Right?
I've put in a biocontamination warning to the Metroplex and the market will start slowly clearing of normal marketgoers. I made it subtle. We don't want any panic. Stay on your toes, people, try not to touch things you haven't sampled and avoid getting caught in mass movements, a mob or anywhere where a large amount of organic material has been left around for a while. Proof positive this whole market might be an infection vector.
Our job is still not done here, though. And we've got a few leads. Let's keep it cool and keep it together.

Agents, the Brigadiers took that warning about 'doctors being gunned down in the street' a little serious and now they've set up an improvised checkpoint. Try not to get caught up in their fascist control power larp fantasy. They just want you to bow and knowtow, but they're not afraid to get handsy. It's kinda their whole brand.
They barricaded the access to Doc Betterthan's clinic too, since the wanted that health inspector to have proper guard. TS Devonshire, I really, really appreciate your effort at saving public employees, but we need to get you some kind of filtering and you're out of a support kit.

Agents, I've got a... brawl... brewing in the central market? Uhhh. Keep a watch on that, they're keeping it lowkey for now.

Agents, the Rootpiercers have taken collective action to seal up the passages around the SnakeSnaxx. Good. That'll keep people out. Unlike the Brigadiers that's not a full on check-point. Just be polite and get past them.

Got some weird signals here... Wait, hang on-- DATASPIKE! Agents! Agents!! HOSTILE MESH ACTIVITY!! They're being subtle but they're trying to ping you! What's going on? I can't see where it's coming from! Herbie 2.0 sliced some of it! I'll tell him to filter your systems!
