April's text in black pen: I couldn't get hold of Bill and was worried about the outbreak so, I decided to go to his office and see if I could convince him to take a few days off while people got it under control [arrow to the next page]

Guidebook: HOW CERA CLASSIFIES DISASTERS CERA, or the Catastrophic Emergency Response Agency, classifies what we would broadly call disasters, according to four categories, in ascending order of damage.

April's text in blue pen: Dr. at JTF station in the PO?

April's text in red pen: IN THE CAR THAT WAS THE GUY IN THE CAR AFTER BILL WAS KILLED

Guidebook: EMERGENCY: A local event that can be managed with local resources.

DISASTER: A local, time limited event that leaves regional and national resources sufficiently intact so that aid and response are available.

CATASTROPHE: A large-scale event with complex, far-reaching consequences that persists over the long term. Societal infrastructure is damaged or destroyed.

April's text in pencil: Like a lot of others things I wrote right after the Dollar Bug hit, I look back at this end and think. I was flippant but, you know, also right. What we're really pinning for is a time when a bad stuff happened and then was over. This is different, This is different. This is a new world, and not a world anyone wanted. Except the person who did it... and that's one of the things I want to ask Merch about.
