I'm not only the president of the Alien Virus Club for Men... I'm also a client!
The story was suitably creepy, if a bit over-gory, but the reveal at the end -- that Means was the carrier of the antibody -- came as a bit TOO much of a surprise for me. And then... Means knows how many people have died from this. Surely he was ill-used, but he never mentioned that he had loved ones waiting for him back on Earth... just debts. He had Joella on the station, and apparently was about to boink her. Of course he's upset, but he could kill an extremely dangerous virus. Why NOT just let the Admins get it from you? The needs of the many and all that.
So, in other words, I don't understand Means's negative motivation when he found out what happened to him.
I think Ben overplayed the world-weariness of Means a bit too much.
As for the Outro... I love Sector General. Though the O'Mara origin story, when he's working on the construction crew, fell a bit flat for me, and SPOILER the fact that O'Mara actually has a can't-lie caterpillar tape in his brain that affects his mindset and deus ex machina's a lot of his behavior END SPOILER ruined the ending a tad, but James White created aliens and got into their brains like nobody's business. I hope that when Kage Gray eventually makes it to print I have done something even 1/3 of the way as well as White did when getting into alien heads.
