Newsflesh	comment	Newsflesh is a series of Zombie Apocalypse medical political thrillers written by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire).In the summer of 2014, three men tried to help the world, and nearly ended it instead. In Colorado, Dr. Daniel Wells worked on a genetically engineered virus designed to cure cancer, finally achieving a breakthrough with teenager Amanda Amberlee. In Virginia, Dr. Alexander Kellis worked on a similar program to wipe out the common cold. And in Pennsylvania, Brandon Majors (inspired by a sensationalized news article) led a group of college students to break into Dr. Kellis's lab, setting free the experimental and incompletely tested virus.Soon, the two viruses met and combined to form Kellis-Amberlee, which turned out to be the Virus: it caused the dead to get back up as zombies and eat people, which of course generated more zombies. The initial series of outbreaks was dubbed The Rising.In an attempt to prevent mass panic, the government decided to lie to the public; newscasters were given scripts indicating that it was either a zombie walk, or a variation of something else (like H1N1 or rabies) making people act aggressively and violently. However, one brave doctor from the CDC leaked the real story, even as bloggers and geeks had already guessed the truth and started spreading the word.Once the worst was over (for some values of "worst"), humanity researched the situation and quickly learned just how screwed they were: every mammal on the planet was infected with Kellis-Amberlee; any mammal large enough (about 40 pounds) would reanimate as a zombie upon death, or on fluid contact with a 'live' sample of the virus (through zombie body fluids, from another mammal's blood, directly, etc). Some mammals would directly convert into zombies without dying. There was no cure.In the twenty years since the Rising, life has changed drastically to address the continuous threat of new outbreaks. A significant portion of the American public has retreated behind walls...the density and solidity of which varies by the wealthiness of the citizen. Everyone who has to go outside has to know how to shoot. Strict hygiene protocols must be obeyed. Bloggers are now considered valid journalists because they immediately shared the truth and spread the word during the Rising, while traditional media was still either dancing to the government's tune or just failing to take the disaster seriously.The novels are: Feed (May 2010) - 2011 Hugo Award nominee for Best Novel and optioned for a motion picture.In 2039, Senator Peter Ryman, seeking the Republican nomination for president, chose a team of bloggers to join him on the campaign trail: After The End Times, headed by Georgia and Shaun Mason and Buffy Meissonier, from the first generation to come of age since the Rising. In addition to learning about Ryman, they discovered some disturbing truths that led them to dig deeper, finding more than they — or anyone — ever bargained for. Deadline (May 2011)Some months after the election of President Ryman, the After the End Times crew were still working away, at their Oakland headquarters. A person sent to them joined their team as their new blogger, and they ended up digging into a deeper mystery as Shaun's sanity began to fray. Countdown: A Newsflesh Novella (August 2011) - originally published to the author's blog in the weeks leading up to Deadline's release, but was released as a novella by Orbit.In 2014, Drs. Kellis and Wells pursued their good work trying to cure the common cold and cancer, respectively. Stalnaker the journalist, was going for a sensational angle to present Kellis's work. The method he chose riled up a group of would-be activists who broke into Kellis's lab and released his cold cure. In California, as the Rising began, the Masons heard the rumors and took them to heart as true; and two babies were orphaned during the disastrous period before the Rising was under control. Blackout (May 2012)Shaun's already frayed sanity has worsened to hanging by a thread. Mahir, after researching much of what they learned earlier, came to American shores to see their story through to the end. Because they will find and tell the truth, even if it kills them! Fed (May 2012): An alternate ending to Feed released in the leadup to the publication of Blackout, originally released on Facebook, then on Orbit's website for free. It shows the events from the last part of the novel from an Shaun's perspective inside the campaign event in Sacramento, then Georgia's after Shaun is killed instead. San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats (July 2012, during Comic-con)You can't stop the fans. In 2014, even though scary rumors fly of a real-life, no-foolin' Zombie Apocalypse, the San Diego Comic Con still was scheduled. On preview night, a handful of unlucky fans and a celebrity discovered the hard way just how true those rumors turned out to be. How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea (July 2013)The Rising happened all over the planet. Mahir went to Australia to see how the people of that continent dealt with zombie marsupials amid the other dangers of Australia. The Day The Dead Came To Show And Tell (July 2014)Alaric researched an outbreak at a Washington State elementary school. First grade teacher Elaine Oldenburg was the only adult to realize that two terrible things had happened: an outbreak had occurred, and the school's emergency response system had failed somehow. This knowledge led her to a terrible choice between obeying the rules when things had already gone wrong, or try to get her young charges to safety. Please Do Not Taunt The Octopus (July 2015)Dr. Shannon Abbey finds a very strange intruder hiding out in the woods looking for her. Who is she, and who sent her there? Direct sequel to The Day The Dead Came To Show And Tell. RISE: The Complete Newsflesh Collection (June 2016) is the first hardcover book in the series. It collects all the novellas and short stories written to date, and adds two new novellas: All the Pretty Little Horses which takes place 3 years after the Rising, and details how Michael Mason fought to keep his wife Stacy from despair induced Sanity Slippage. Coming to You Live, a post Feed-trilogy story in which Shaun encounters a threat to his happy ending he can't shoot or hit. Feedback (October 2016)A stand-alone novel detailing what was happening on the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign simultaneous to the events of the Republican candidate chronicled by After the End Times in Feed.In addition, the short story Everglades was published in the anthology Living Dead 2 in 2010. The chronological order of events is Countdown, San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats, then Everglades, ATPLH, then TDTDCTSAT, then Feed and Feedback, Deadline and Blackout, followed by HGTLHBTS, then PDNTTO, and CTYL. Ms. Grant won the 2010 John W. Campbell award for best new writer for this series.Blackout and San Diego 2014 were two of McGuire's record five Hugo nominations in 2013.As usual for stories set in and after a Zombie Apocalypse, expect a lot of Death Tropes to be mentioned. THIS IS YOUR SPOILER WARNING — read no further if you don't want spoilers.

Thankfully, the Masons come around and allow Shaun and Becks to escape the CDC, as well as promise to carry out their intended mission to rescue Alaric's sister in Florida. Zelda Rosen refused on religious grounds to do something the CDC demanded. They told her refusing breached her contract and punished her with a "field assignment" that could easily get her killed.

Newsflesh / int_1522d74	comment	Technically-Living Zombie: The amplification process that turns people into zombies doesnâ€™t necessarily have to kill the host, as the stories show converting people going from carrying out their business, to a fully symptomatic carrier of KA within the snap of a finger. William Matras also mentions in his broadcast telling the public about KA and its hazards that headshots are most advised because the infected take longer to bleed out, which means that theyâ€™re at least functionally alive enough to bleed to death. Suzanne Amberleeâ€™s conversion is a good example of this, as sheâ€™s busy boxing up her daughterâ€™s stuff when she literally drops what she was doing, wanders off into a childrenâ€™s playground after hearing their cries and goes on a cannibalistic killing spree.

Shaun is well aware his sanity is no longer properly anchored, and that his perceptions may be a little bit ... skewed. Not that he's bothered by this.... Continues in Blackout, which now also includes Subject 7c, a clone who's a 97% match to the original Georgia Mason. No one knows what the other 3% which is unaccounted for represents; whether they are early memories of Georgia Mason, or something worse. Georgia's narration in Feed only alludes to the fact that she and her adoptive brother are in a sexually intimate relationship.

People like Georgia, Buffy, Dave and even Governor Tate are commemorated there, regardless of what they did when they were alive. After Shaun, Becks and Mahir escape the Memphis CDC, Shaun calls Alaric to tell Maggie to lock down her home, and realizes that Dr. Kelly Connolly's death cannot be memorialized on the Wall, as the world thinks that she's been Dead All Along, and that was not due to Kellis-Amberlee. The real Kelly did die of KA, but the clone that the rest of the world recognized as her did not. Georgia - inside Shaun's head - comments on this:

A fuel-air bomb dropped on the outbreak site gets the job done. In Deadline, Dave Novakowski, one of the Irwins, is killed this way, in a Heroic Sacrifice to allow the rest of the crew to escape the outbreak in Oakland. This is also what happens to Dr. Abbey's husband Joe in Canada, an incident which disillusions her to the supposed good intentions of the CDC. This is apparently a method the United States started using immediately upon realizing what Kellis-Amberlee could do, as it's how the outbreak was contained in San Diego 2014.

And any zombie freshly turned is more interested in making more zombies than in eating flesh for a while. It gets worse; the reservoir conditions indicate that the human race is starting to adapt to the virus, but there's a conspiracy that's out to keep that from happening so that the virus can be controlled by those in power.

Newsflesh / int_363f94c9	comment	Awful Truth: Considering there's a government conspiracy involved, this is inevitable, though the one that hits hardest is the revelation that Georgia might have recovered had Shaun not shot her. Additionally, the fact that reservoir conditions may allow people to survive amplification without conversion, but that fact cannot be allowed to become public knowledge because people will stop shooting their loved ones in the head in the hope they will also survive amplification — disastrous in a world where all mammals become zombies. According to Dr. Kelly Connolly, the chances of amplifying but not converting are two in ten thousand. Seems like a benevolent reason to keep a secret, at first, until Dr. Joseph Wynne elaborates on the suppression of that information: the people behind the conspiracy are trying to make a KA strain that will not create a reservoir condition so that they can "cure" the world on their own terms. And even worse. as of Feedback the CDC has decided —for now— there will never be a cure for Kellis-Amberlee. Their reasoning: if they cure it, they rid the world of zombies but bring back cancer and the common cold/influenza. It's been so long since anyone had to treat either, that there are scant few doctors alive and practicing who would know how.

Many food animals are included in this situation. When one's blood test comes back for an amplification one is legally required by law to shoot the person dead. There is no cure. Certain parts of the world had to be ceded to the zombies and evacuated because there was no reliable way to get rid of enough to make the areas safe for habitation. It's not safe to hang out in large crowds anymore. Agoraphobia is a common condition. And, oh yeah, since the Rising, a global conspiracy has arisen to keep people afraid so that anything is permissible in the name of keeping safe from the zombie threat. This results in a second Rising.

Instead, when Marburg and Kellis's viruses were done mutating, the Rising began happening spontaneously and simultaneously all over the world. Some people converted on the spot; others were killed and got back up. Although, Amanda Amberlee is notable as she died in a car accident shortly before the Rising. The fact that she didn't amplify proved that the zombie plague was caused by the combination of the Kellis virus and Marburg-Amberlee, not just MA by itself. They never identified the Patient Zero of San Diego 2014 — and, like the first Rising as narrated in Countdown, there may have been multiple cases.

Newsflesh / int_60414102	comment	Zombie Apocalypse and acoutrements thereof, including: Deadly Lunge: Shaun has a problem with one of these late in both Feed and Deadline. Horror Hunger Not a Zombie: The mainstream media (under orders from the government) tried to pull this at the beginning of the Rising. Not Using the Zed Word: Subverted. The population of the Newsflesh-verse is Genre Savvy — it saved their lives — so they don't bother with dodgewords to make you feel better, especially lethally unwieldy ones (see Political Overcorrectness). Those shambling moaning things? They are zombies. Though there are other non-Z-word names used for them as well, such as "moaners". Invoked (by name, almost) in San Diego 2014. Lorelei's father knows exactly what's going on, but says he doesn't feel ready to actually use the Z word. Another character, when someone asks if these are really zombies, says that not using the Z word will not make this any less of a zombie apocalypse, and it's time to stop pretending things are going to be okay. No Zombie Cannibals: Subverted. It is mentioned in Deadline that if zombies go long enough without living human flesh, they will eventually turn on each other. Our Zombies Are Different: The KA virus has a form of sentience where zombies seem to get smarter as their numbers grow. Also, if the zombie is freshly converted, it's a fast zombie. They do, however, slow down to the familiar shamble as they start rotting. The way it's described in the book—that individually they're mindless but gain tactical sophistication in numbers—is very reminiscent of the Geth from Mass Effect. Raising the Steaks: All mammals over 40 pounds. Up to and including whales. This also means a lot of dietary limitations for people who still eat meat. Cooking is not a sure way to kill the KA virus. Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Just the last part, really. There were a few decapitations during the Rising, but that stopped quickly once they realized that the blood spray carried the infection. Undeathly Pallor: combined with nosebleeds, eye-bleeds, or Blood from the Mouth for people amplifying or converting. Zombie Gait: Naturally, and lampshaded by Shaun, who warns how stupid it is to walk like a zombie in front of security cams. Zombie Infectee: in this case, the entire world. Everybody who dies will reanimate. Everybody. And some people still try to hide it when they get bitten. To make things even more fun, it's entirely possible (albeit rare) to go into spontaneous amplification while still alive. No wonder so many people never leave their homes. A small consolation is that those who were already dead before the spread of KA would never reanimate, including Amanda Amberlee, the namesake of one of the components of the zombie virus. Zombie Puke Attack: The zombies will spit blood at you if they can't get close enough.

Feed: Rebecca Ryman, 3 months from graduating high school, bridled a post-amplification horse and got her little sisters to safety at the cost of her own life. And all while her father and mother were onstage accepting the nomination for Republican presidential candidate. Deadline: Dave, who goes back to the apartments to hold off the anti-zombie measures so everyone else could get safely out and away from the Oakland apartment — which means he doesn't ever get out. Kelly. She was going to amplify anyway thanks to being shot with a live virus dart. So she waits for the security guards and gives Shaun and company a chance to escape. Blackout: Becks makes the hard choice to stay behind and let the rest of the party escape the airlock at the White House, and kills herself along with the zombies using a grenade which she was able to sneak inside. Averted with Shaun, who jumps in the way of a KA-loaded dart aimed at President Ryman and demonstrates his immunity to the virus. San Diego 2014: Rebecca; once discovering the garage is full of infected, and knowing that she isn't fast enough to get out and close the door before they catch up with her, she locks the door into the Convention Center so they can't get in.

Newsflesh / int_6d332aea	comment	Driven to Suicide: In Countdown, Dr. Alexander Kellis, once the Rising had begun because of what his research had contributed to the disaster and the loss of his beloved husband. And in a particularly rough example, Dr. Wells committed suicide by letting his converted zombie family attack him and turn him. The main character Debbie in Everglades, choosing the particularly gruesome death by zombie rather than the quick, tidy method of getting shot. In Feed, Susan, one of the security guards gets everyone to safety before shooting herself after being infected. In the alternate ending for Feed, it's Georgia Mason who commits suicide because she meant it when she said she didn't want to live in a world without Shaun, who is the one who gets struck by the KA dart in Sacramento. This scenario is referenced in Blackout, both by Georgia inside Shaun's head, and by Georgia II. Shaun and Georgia II eventually realize that this was what the people behind the conspiracy were aiming for. They knew that if they killed Shaun, Georgia would just accept Tate as the grand villain and let him die a martyr; she wouldn't have the will to continue looking deeper into the conspiracy, and then she would just kill herself in despair. In Deadline, Professor Brannon - one of three scientists contacted by After The End Times to do some research for them - shoots himself afterwards, but not before giving his findings to Mahir. In Blackout, we find out that the Democratic candidate for President did this after her loss. In Feedback we get more details about why. Dr. Thomas also falls into this trope after Georgia II's escape. In Feed, according to Rick, this happened with his wife Lisa, who had ovarian KA, after their son Ethan underwent spontaneous amplification and had to be killed. However, in Blackout, he learned that her death was only made to look like a suicide.

Newsflesh / int_7870735b	type	From Bad to Worse
Newsflesh / int_7870735b	comment	From Bad to Worse: Virtually the entire series runs on this trope, considering that it begins with humanity discovering not only the cure for cancer, but also a cure for the common cold. Countdown is a brilliant study in how this trope works once the Mayday Army releases the Kellis cure. Feed has its share of things going rapidly and more spectacularly downhill as well. In Deadline, not only do we find out that the CDC is part of the conspiracy ... they're responsible for the deaths of people with reservoir conditions because those people are starting to develop immunity to the live virus. They're also responsible for every outbreak since the Rising, because they've been genetically engineering new strains of KA to try to defeat the tendency to generate immunities. And if that's not bad enough — Tropical Storm Fiona arrives, bearing mosquitoes capable of carrying and transmitting live state Kellis-Amberlee, causing a second Rising and causing the government to write off the state of Florida as unrecoverable due to zombie infestation. In Blackout, it's confirmed that there's no cure for KA that will leave humans alive, so there will never be one. The only possible improvement on the condition are the rare folks with reservoir conditions, and the government would rather infect everyone with the same strain of no-reservoir KA with their engineered mosquitoes than leave the possibility out there that some folks could be immune from zombification. And they're willing to kidnap the President's wife (with a reservoir condition) and family to force him into going along with this.

The bloggers, because of their geeky connections, believed the Zombie uprising was happening and started to warn the world while the mainstream media was still snickering up its sleeves at what it thought was a joke. As a result, the public trusts bloggers more than regular news reporters afterward. Social Media was vital in the time of the Rising. People posting on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube advised people of what to do with the dead once they got up, and also advised people who to stay away from, once they'd been bitten.

And during the events late in Deadline. If It Bleeds, It Leads: Justified, because if somebody's bleeding, there's the potential for an outbreak, and that's in the public's interest to mention first. Intrepid Reporter: Georgia. Dedicated to the truth to the point where when Ryman wanted to send her team home, she became offended that they'd leave in the middle of the story. Manipulative Editing: Stalnaker, in Countdown, creatively interpreted the facts about Kellis's cold/flu cure, and the way he phrased the story incited the Mayday Army to break in and release it. Paparazzi: Mostly outdated by 2039 because some celebrity freaked out and started shooting. They tend only to show up in large numbers when The Masons (Stacy and Michael) are out for ratings, or for major political events. The government clamps down hard on any would-be news reporters or bloggers who attempt to post inside Florida, which has been designated a Level 1 hazard zone late in Deadline.

Newsflesh / int_868409c	comment	Broken Pedestal: Two cases in Deadline. The majority of the novel highlights how Dr. Kelly Connolly's perceptions of the CDC - the company she literally grew into - start to change and grow darker with each new revelation regarding the true nature of the reservoir conditions. This reaches its culmination when her boss, Dr. Joseph Wynne, reveals himself to be part of the conspiracy to subdue the human adaptation of reservoir conditions, and then threatens her life. He is killed, but unfortunately not before he shoots her with a KA-loaded dart. The Wall is a monument to every human casualty of Kellis-Amberlee, listing their names and their final blog posts, if any. Before Georgia died in Feed, she regarded the Wall as "the ultimate monument to truth; a universally accepted model of the world as it is, not as we want it to be." People like Georgia, Buffy, Dave and even Governor Tate are commemorated there, regardless of what they did when they were alive. After Shaun, Becks and Mahir escape the Memphis CDC, Shaun calls Alaric to tell Maggie to lock down her home, and realizes that Dr. Kelly Connolly's death cannot be memorialized on the Wall, as the world thinks that she's been Dead All Along, and that was not due to Kellis-Amberlee. The real Kelly did die of KA, but the clone that the rest of the world recognized as her did not. Georgia - inside Shaun's head - comments on this:

Later, however, he thinks that those particular hallucinations helped him to get used to Georgia II's normal eyes.

It's not all rosy, there are still spontaneous zombifications and chicken and fish are now the main sources of meat as cows, pigs and sheep aren't raised anymore.

Shaun wanted a password for his voice activated, single-use phone that he would definitely not say by accident. In Blackout, when Shaun and Becks are trying to gain access to a gas stop off the grid, one of the occupants asks for a password. Becks nervously replies, "There isn't one," and they are allowed in, being told that if they weren't sent by Dr. Abbey, they would have made something up. Blackout also has another wacky burner-phone password courtesy of Shaun:

The Fox intentionally averts this against a group of CDC soldiers, so that the ones she killed previously would reanimate and distract the survivors.

Barbara, from The Remake of Night of the Living Dead (1990). Georgia's name is also a shoutout to George from Dead Like Me. Joss Whedon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, although Buffy and the other Fictionals may be the only ones of their generation who remember it. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Firefly/Serenity: The novella is "The Last Stand of the California Browncoats". There's also Alaric's tendency to swear profusely in Chinese, which was common among Serenity's crew on the show. Crocodile Hunter: The highest honor an Irwin can achieve is a Golden Steve-o award, named after the star of that show, Steve Irwin. Both Shaun and Becks are described as contenders for (and winners of) this award. Georgia makes a sardonic reference to Star Wars in passing. She also paraphrases a line from the Tom Lehrer song "Be Prepared". San Diego Comic Con was the site of a massive amplification during the Rising, Georgia mentally notes that "the city hasn't had a break since." For example, the San Diego Zoo was the site of a mass bombing, intended to kill the animals (since they, too, carry KA), but that ended up just releasing the now-zombified animals to infect more people, such as a zombie giraffe. The name for Lois the cat may be an in-universe tip of the hat to the famous reporter, whom Georgia dressed as for Halloween one year. Frankenstein: Complete with the pointing out that Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster. In Blackout, the project for developing self-sustaining clones is named the "Shelley Project", after the author of Frankenstein. The Wizard of Oz: A few references, with Dr. Abbey being referred to as The Wizard. When Shaun, Becks and Mahir are headed back to Weed from Memphis, with a storm incoming: A little later, when the After the End Times team is left with no other safe option but to go to Dr. Abbey: Alice in Wonderland: Becks: "We're all mad here." Bambi: Referenced twice in Deadline. In a world where any mammal over forty pounds will reanimate after death, the infamous scene from the movie takes on a different meaning for the novel's characters. Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead - generalized as "pre-Rising video games" - are alluded to by Shaun and Becks while they're walking through a series of mazelike corridors in Portland. Those corridors put Mahir in mind of another genre of games, as he mutters about "A maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Robin Hood: Dr. Abbey refers to Shaun's team as the Merry Men. Darkwing Duck: "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it" is a Catchphrase from that show, used as the answer to any question about a zombie blogger walking into danger. Evil Dead: Shaun's completely crazy and random password — isn't, not so much. Before Shaun uses a convoluted plot synopsis for a password, Maggie hosts a movie watch-along on her blog with this as the main feature. Though she seems to have gotten it confused with Evil Dead 2. Slither: Shaun's other completely crazy and random password isn't so much either. X-Men: Invoked by Shaun when he was being confused about what part of the country Becks came from. Nightmare on Elm Street: One of Maggie's film marathons is watching the whole franchise. Buffy's secret log in to the After the End Times site in Blackout. Rob Zombie: In Blackout, when Shaun introduces Georgia II to Dr. Abbey: Georgia II later adopts this phrase for the name of her new blog. San Diego 2014 has a reference to 28 Days Later: Matt explains to the Browncoats that the contagion is bloodborne, and that he got exposed when a drop of his wife's blood got into his eye. San Diego 2014 also has a garage full of zombies, as in the Dawn of the Dead (2004). Bruce Springsteen: Come on up for The Rising. Becks comes from a very old-money, snooty family who think a great career goal for daughters is "Trophy Wife" and are appalled by her dissenting opinion on that topic. She calls her blog "Charming, Not Sincere". One of Becks' blog posts ends with a message to her family for the next time they see her do something the don't approve of paraphrasing Day of the Dead (1985): I hope you choke on it. One character refers to Dr. Abbey as "the woman who accessorizes with Cujo", referring to Joe the mastiff. Monty Python and the Holy Grail: When Monkey asks George why she isn't dead, her answer is simply "I got better". Jurassic Park: In Blackout, when the man from CDC admits that mosquitoes carrying the virus are artificial, and they can't reproduce so they would die out before long, Shaun asks if they have seen this movie. In Feedback Ash does not aim with her hand.

Aunties do the recipe sharing and try to inject a little normal into a world changed to the point where normal is hell and gone. Fictionals (Buffy and Maggie) do the entertaining from the internet with stories and poetry. The members of the Brainpan: The Monkey, The Cat, and The Fox.

Newsflesh / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In Deadline, Maggie hands Shaun an envelope filled with cash, as well as a company credit card, before Shaun, Becks, Mahir and Dr. Kelly Connolly head off to Memphis. She explains that her parents won't mind them using it, unless he used it to buy a submarine or something. Later, when they get to Memphis, Mahir comments that calling breaking into the CDC "fucking impossible" would require something in the way of ninjas, and wonders where one would order them. Shaun says it's the same place where you get the submarines.

Newsflesh / int_feaf12e8	comment	Survivor Guilt: In San Diego 2014, Lorelai Tutt is dealing with a pretty terrible case, bordering on a death wish, since being a bratty teenager is pretty much the only reason she survived.

Newsflesh / int_feaf5424	type	You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious
Newsflesh / int_feaf5424	comment	You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Shaun gets called his full name. "Shaun Philip Mason" a couple of times by his mother. Shaun only calls his sister "Georgia" when he's worried about her or afraid for her. Georgia calls Buffy Meissonier by her real name, Georgette, when the symptoms of conversion have set in and she can't remember her own real name. Shaun tends to only call Becks by her real name when situations are serious. Maggie's full name, Magdalene Grace Garcia, is practically a magic word when used in the right circumstances. Invoked in Blackout after Maggie gets shot; she instructs the team to use her full name in telling the Agora hotel staff that a passenger in their van is injured. Dr. Abbey uses Zelda Rosen's full name when calling her out for being a CDC mole. The Fox only uses her legal name, Elaine Oldenburg when she absolutely must, or when she is not on drugs and suffering withdrawal; this is serious because the Fox puts significant effort into never being in an undrugged state.
