"Like there would still be a bit of paranoia in it, however," you said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, we don't know the age brackets of onset in that case. We don't even know if you could be born as a Pokemon. For all we know, one could turn into a Pokemon the next day after being born or when on their deathbed," you answered.
"In my opinion, one could probably narrow it down when it happens or maybe delay it using some medicine," he stated.
"Maybe yes, maybe no. We don't know, and as of now the CDC just wasted the time of everyone here by not providing any explanations or solutions to the situation," you answered.
There was some shouting heard from the captain's office that halted your discussion.
In fact, the entire office went silent.
The captain was certainly not pleased by the CDC worker obstructing his work even more.
You couldn't really blame him, as in his position you'd probably have a far lower bullshit tolerance than he did.
"Fucking feds..." muttered your colleague.
"It takes effort to make the old man this angry," he continued.
You just nodded in approval and returned to doing your paperwork.
Your colleague, however, tried to listen in to make out what was happening inside.
He didn't get much out of it, as the words were too distorted to make anything out.
After a while the CDC worker left.
Out of curiosity, you decided to take a look out of the station to where he went.
There was a truck unpacking some medical equipment and building some temporary structures roughly 100 yards away from the station in the plaza.
It looks like they are going to stay for a while.
"Have you finished gawking yet?" you heard the clearly still angry voice of the captain behind you.
"I want to have a word with you. Follow me to my office. Now." he said sternly.
