Graffiti finally answers Katrina's initial question about the people in the Med Bay. "Yah. Well sort of. Remember Canker and Gloom? Or were they before your time? Anyways, apparently when the Hellions were drained by Fitzroy, he and Gloom's powers kicked in to protect them from being harmed. So she became some kind of shade who possessed or was attracted to Aurum. They now are together in one body but in a strange way it was kind of a good thing. Gloom gets to have a physical body once in a while and Aurum gets to indulge in things that Aurum might be not so keen on. As for Canker, it's a little more confusing. I guess his body was transformed into a living disease which allowed him to disperse and escape. With his mind split into millions of cells that made him very confused, his instincts took over and pulled him back here, to the mansion. Unfortunately anyone that his new form tried to contact would get sick which only made Canker angrier. Then one night a couple days ago, he tried to reach out to Malcolm (points to him in the pool) but he woke up and freaked out! Jack woke up and a battle ensued. But by this time, I guess Canker had figured out how to influence the students who he had infected. So he used them to defend himself against the two of them. The noise alerted the rest of us so then everyone got involved. But eventually we got the situation under control and the students who were infected were taken to the Med Bay to be treated. So far so good except that their personalities have been affected to one degree to another. So if one of them gets snappy, try not to get too offended. They are still under the influence of that sickness."
