Since then though, Infinity has had to deal with periodic outbreaks of NAAV-13 throughout Q5.

Infinity is worried, however, about outsiders illegally transporting infected natives to other timelines or becoming infected themselves and transporting the virus. Its fears are not unfounded, as there have been forty outbreaks of NAAV-13 outside of Switch-1 over the past twenty years, but the I-Cops have managed to keep NAAV-13 contained so far.
That's... Pretty improbable. Between all the tourists, colonists, academics, criminals, and terrorists running around Quantum 5, outbreaks could spread like wildfire with nearly no control. How are you supposed to deal with any of the ticks who spread from timeline to timeline (I doubt the criminals or the terrorists care about decontamination protocols)?
