[ Hmm, interesting. The description brings to mind those long paper talismans he's seen a couple of times in Japan - which he's sure Kaidan told him the proper name for at some point, but damned if he can remember it. Still, it could be a viable option - maybe not for this little outbreak, but it'd be worth figuring out how well it works, at least. ]

Honestly, I'm not sure. Carlisle says he's got some method for dealing with them, which for all I know may be exactly that. But on the other hand, these things are basically mindless. There may not be anything left to guide.
