The left column of [[:Image:Dream_1_murder_or_mercy.jpg|this larger version of the newspaper article]] is totally readable (the text stops right where the fade to black occurs), but only a fraction of the right column can be read. Below we spell out exactly what can be seen of both columns, and then make a reconstruction attempt of the right column. Also see the verbal account of the event from [[Quotes/Speech#Intro_4|Hasegawa in Chapter 11]].  | |||

Instead of a virus/toxin, I decided to use a [[Restless_Souls/Technology#Origin_and_criticism|plant/fungus symbiosis]] as Jamie's death cause.
