You're right, it's not entirely fair, thinking about it. I shall attempt to refrain from such taunts in future, and stick to the occassional non-plot comment (and maybe a correction/clarification or two if necessary)

I always liked Jonny's posts but yeah, I'd hate to read an inadvertent spoiler about stuff coming up.
I think Martin is infected too. From what I remember about his episode, he was pretty brave considering how scared he was the whole time. And then his colleagues take digs at him! Poor Martin.
One interesting thing about the cafe conversation between Sasha and Michael was when he says that the flesh hive has always been rash. Not evil or must be stopped immediately, just rash. It comes across to me like not only is he familiar with them but that he also might not be in direct opposition of them. Like maybe they both have somewhat similar goals but he objects to their/Jane's methods of accomplishing them.

I was joking about the taunts Jonny! Like Samwise said, it's actually quite fun having someone around who knows all but isn't telling. Sorry if it came off as a genuine complaint!

For what it's worth though I think you'll need a light touch on these forums Jonny. What's the point in an elaborate web of intrigue and deceit if you occasionally rock up with a polygraph?

All Jonny seems to do here is correct my spelling mistakes, which I'm totally fine with! I don't this he's spoilt anything expect the Magnus Chrest, and is that a spoiler, really?

I though Martin was Infected! I think Jonny may have other motives at keeping him at the institute.
Could the worms they keep having to step on be Janes or Martins? It's making me nervous anyway. It could all be too late already...
There's speculation on how the worms work isn't there? Is it a difference in how they work in men/women or is there just a different thing that happens depending on the worms needs or the hosts?
Timothy Must have already been infected when giving his statement... Was there a reason it took so Iong to manifest? Why was his body taken over by worms (and still somewhat mobile) and not turned into a gloopy mess after (2/3 days?)
(And I love the Magnus threads on the forum, you guys are so observant and smart!) Jonny, this world you've built is epic!

(And I love the Magnus threads on the forum, you guys are so observant and smart!) Jonny, this world you've built is epic! Hear hear! How embarrassing misspelling Crest, wasn't even intentional! I don't think the worms change based on gender, because Jane and Timothy were both hives and were different genders. I wonder if him having sex with Harriet Li caused her to explode, and if he hadn't she'd have become a hive, but that infection passed to Timothy? Not sure. Oh! What if it's like an ant colony, and there's a queen worm, and without the queen worm the host dies? Harriet passed her queen onto Timothy, causing the worms in her system to overload... Or something. Actually, I had a thought, when Harriet was attacked by Jane, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, presumably how Jane infected her, but Sasha didn't feel it when she became infected with the worm? Not sure if that's relevant.

I guessed Chrest was a genuine slip on the keyboard, but I couldn't resist the joke! I'm sure I'll make spelling mistakes and I welcome correction.
I wondered myself whether sex activates the infection... does it stay dormant until the carnal act? We know that Timothy was sexually promiscuous.
Maybe the worms can infect people freely once the infection is fully manifest (as in Jane's case), but require sexual transmission beforehand?
I'm now imagining those Amazonian fish which supposedly swim up the urethra... I'm not sure which fate is worse.

Man, thank goodness for the wiki! I am not great at names.
There IS something to be said about how I appreciate the writing always gives the listeners credit, and not having Jonathan mention at the end, "Oh, you remember Timothy? Mr. Horny Sex Worm? Went mysteriously missing, but he's prob fine." but if I weren't listening to these all in a row, I might be more lost than I am. Still, that's more an insult to my own memory than anything. Great stuff!
Ooh, and I forgot to add how much I appreciate the writing of Sasha's character. Brave, feminine, kickass, and very real. I loved it!

Relistening to this, I find it odd that Sims was at work to find Sasha on a Saturday. Take note, those who wish to work at the Institute - working weekends is non-optional!
