Those must be the final form that was released to infect others. Probably at first these multiplied directly in epithelial tissue, so that there was a rapid contagion of infection. Eventually, they must form the filaments that invaded the nerves and caused the brief bodily reaction that was Selznik's migraine.
"And your motive your real motive?" he insisted. She swore at him, then began ripping off the spacesuit. She turned her back, pulling a thin blouse down from her neck. He stared, then reached out to touch the lump there. "So you've had Selznik's migraine and know you're carrying plague. And you've decided your precious Lobby won't save you?"
Then it goes away for fourteen years, until it comes back to kill! Doc stared at his charts in sudden horror. It was a new disease thought to be some virus, but not considered dangerous. Selznik's migraine, according to medical usage; you treated it with hot pads and anodyne, and it went away easily enough. He'd seen hundreds of such cases on Earth. There must be millions who had been hit by it.
I warned you, but you wouldn't listen. And now we've even got your own taped words to prove you were doing forbidden research. Fool!" She shook her head pityingly as the tractor began moving with two others toward Southport. "You and your phony diseases. A little skin disorder, Selznik's migraine, and a few cases of psychosis to make a new disease.
Writing Chris might do no good, but some warning had to be gotten through to Earth, where the vast resources of Medical Lobby could be thrown into the task of finding the cause and cure of the disease. The connection with Selznik's migraine had to be reported. If something could blast the Lobby into action, it wouldn't matter quite so much what they did to him.
What they lacked in size they made up in numbers, and the din was terrific. But it didn't last. One by one, the mice began dropping to the floor of the cage. In fifteen minutes, they were all dead! It was obviously the plague, contracted after having their metabolism switched. Women were sterile for some time after Selznik's migraine struck, and the same must have been true of the mice.
Apparently there was another man who placed his patients above anything else, though he was probably meticulous about obeying all actual rules. There was no law against listening to a pariah, at least. "When did she have Selznik's migraine?" he asked. "About thirteen years ago. We went through it together, shortly after having our metabolism switched during the food shortage of '88."
