The station, still eavesdropping, corrects Deirdre: she isn’t Scourge-infected – it’s not a disease. By its scans, she IS Scourge. What?

Station says that “The Scourge” isn’t something you catch, but something you are. It scanned Deirdre and got a match. Well, a nominal match.

Sorry, but what the glittering hell does getting a ‘nominal match’ mean? A theoretical match? A match that cannot be replicated in reality?

“Nominal” means that Deirdre meets all the Scourge-positive scan criteria… except for the pesky “is not Scourge” result at the end.

I don’t know what that scan might mean, but I know Deirdre isn’t Scourge. The Scourge. A scourge. Scourgey. Scourgeish. Whatever.
