"If they are, I think I might be more worried," Ravi confesses, because that's just a very strange thing to volunteer for. It's not like he can start sneaking little pieces of brain matter, either, which means that he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or, rather, in this case, he's stuck between a zombie and an empty grave.

"If we could, I could do some tests. Ideally, I need to synthesize a component of the brain for long-term feeding without having actual brain matter," he says. "I've no idea if that's even possible, but I have to try, for Major's sake."
