CASE REPORT SUMMARY:
- Project 1087 - Exploration 1 -
First an overgrown protozoan wrapped 'round the heart; now a mammoth virus grown in the belly. How difficult it proves to separate myth from fact, and fact from myth! Gigantism abounds in legend. The giant Ouranos begat Cronos, also a giant; and from his belly burst the Olympians, themselves giants in the eyes of men. And likewise did Buri beget Bor who begat Wotan...
Straightway the Allfather cast the serpent into the deep sea, where he lies about all the land; and this serpent grew so greatly that he lies in the midst of the ocean encompassing all the land, and bites upon his own tail.
So said Snorri of the overgrown serpent. Always giants within giants within giants -- of course! This gorgeous creature is not, in fact, a giant virus. The rhinovirus takes the form of an icosahedron, not a slug. No, she is a gigantic human cell -- from Dr. Kinberg's own intestinal walls -- mercilessly overtaken and supersized by the giant virus that infected her.
SUPERSIZED! A new word in my lexicon. Such a brilliant concept: to order a tasty meal and, with one simple command, expand it in all dimensions. The wonder and horror of it; for how could I not observe the astounding synecdoche between the consumers and the consumed? Giants within giants again. To what other purposes might this remarkable technique be applied? Squashes that will squash the county fair records? In class mammalia, order rodentia, the rise of the ROUS's? Even we hominids might take part. More than a few females might wish to grow their assets; men, too.
But, caution is essential -- for the pace of protein production must have been astonishingly rapid to sustain both cellular growth and... oh, my. This volume of cytoplasm could only have one purpose: large-scale viral production. Within this slug-like sack there could be millions of copies of its pathogenic parent. Extra care must be taken to contain her. No more afternoon walks for Betsy, I suppose. Wait... where did I see her last?
