Bugged: Special Investigation Team (Growler, Herra, Ozzati, Cailly, Sara)

When you indicate a preference for joining the SIT, you're quietly ushered into another office. Police Chief Lowell Grant enters a few minutes later. "We're being a little discrete about this because we don't want vigilante mobs forming. But as non-residents, you may be able to ask questions where we can't. So, for the most part, do NOT present yourselves as officially working for the city, unless you don't think there's any other way to get the intel." He pulls out a thin file with some papers and memos inside it. "Here's all the data we've gotten so far about the disease spread--obviously, it's pretty spartan, but that's where you come in. As we mentioned before, this is either a deliberate bio-warfare attack, or a Typhoid Mary case. If the latter, we need 'Mary', whoever she is, brought in so we can administer a cure once we find it. If it's a deliberate act of bio-terrorism, we need to find out both who did it, and what the long-term goal is. It's likely, in the case of a deliberate action, that the perpetrators also have at least some information about the disease, so if at all possible, you should try to catch the ringleader alive. But dead is still preferable to 'at large', so if you don't have any other choice, waste him, her or them."
He indicates a rather meek man in glasses, the only other person in the room besides yourselves. "This is Nick Colton. He's going to be your contact in the field--we don't want you coming in every day and making a report."
Nick stands up and nods to you all, pushing up his glasses as he does so. "I'm in Room 708 at your hotel. I will be staying there constantly from this point forward, and have a direct land-line to City Hall, which will be useful since we're jamming radio use. In addition to tracking the spread of the disease back to its origins, you might want to keep an eye out for organized efforts to breach the quarantine--while we expect some attempts to be made just normally by individuals or small groups who have had enough, it's likely that the people behind this--assuming it's not a Typhoid Mary, of course--are going to be trying to get infected individuals out of the city, rather than try to escape themselves. After all, going themselves means risking getting shot in the woods, but if they can spread the disease to other towns, the quarantine will basically be over, because there's no point to it."
