An all-female research team desperately trying to contain an anomalous blueberry outbreak. Underpaid and understaffed. Exhausted from rolling enormous subjects that weigh several tons. Running out of room to store blueberries. Paranoid about getting infected. Knows the transformation is not painful, or mind-altering but finds the process frightening all the same. Copes with stress through humor. Depressed but has hope. Believes they are genuinely close to a cure, but doesn't know when.
