Why is Perry not a pile of black goop?

Okay, I'm 2 episodes in, but I'm wondering why Perry hasn't succumbed to apoptosis that featured in several chapters of Infected.

How did they "cure" his rotting shoulder? (Not to mention the rot that must have started in his back and but) Ideas?

Waiting to be blinded with science.

Cheers

I took him 5 months to recover so maybe they got to him in time to remove the affected areas before the damage became to extensive OR the one Triangle over his eye that didn't develop fully keep enough of the enzyme or what ever chemical in his blood stream that inhibited the (self destruct?) pods from rupturing on the deceased triangles while others were still alive. Not sure cause I cant remember right off if the triangle over his eye ended up dieing. Like I said just a guess.

Becuase he's not dead yet! You only turn into black goo after you die.  

 

Remember the chicken scissors - and other horrible things to remove all the triangles?

Only the triangles!

 

There was a whole chapter in the book about the way the living triangles stopped the apoptosis enzyme from going on a rampage by "balancing out" with another enzyme.

 

Later when he killed the one in his shoulder, there was something about the other living ones stopping the process from taking over his whole body but not being able to stop the rot in his shoulder.

Also there was reference to structures in his brain in the second episode, which is probably why he can hear the traingles.

 

They might be playing a role too

How about I not tell you everything in the first chapter?

Scott,

I have no doubt that our FDO has a cunning plan to extracate Perry from the doom of black goopness.

I was just wondering what ideas other junkies might have - prior to finding out in 11 days

Cheers

I see where you're coming from. Fuck Yeah, Junkies, what's the deal? Why didn't Perry dissolve?

The same chemical imbalance that makes Perry so fucked up and violent in the first place also protects him from the chemical imbalance that the triangles laid on him. Just a thouight.

 isn't it possible that the doctors at the hospital or the CDC chick figured out what was happening in his shoulder and found the enzyme to reverse it? Told ya it was lame.

 Until the FDO fills us in on why Perry lived, your guess is a very viable one.

Viable but I'md hate to  compared it to the ultra epic reason that The Sig is going to bestow upon us.
