Per confirmation Alec can control the infected up to a point, but it gets harder as it progresses, I'd love to have Alec helping Palamedes with the infected and maintaining the quarantine zone. He can't drag anyone due to his wilting Victorian orphan constitution, but he can knock them down and he will be offering to use his power for hijacking on anyone consenting as a counter to the fungus.

This is not a Fun Prospect for Alec so he'll be a little bit intense about his commitment in a way he'll be more surprised by than anyone. I'd love to do some 'discussing the problem/ethics of body jacking in this context/just talking about mind control and why it's bad' or Alec talking to trapped, infected Palamedes for the emotional content of him being like, kind of actually maybe, sort of upset about this? Pal?
