Two officers enter the recreation center of their spaceship. It’s full of animals.
Officer 1: Everyone in the rec room has turned into an animal!
Officer 2: It’s that alien virus we picked up. It mutated their DNA!
The two officers find a rabbit sitting on a blue necklace.
Officer 1: This is the captain’s! Captain Walker, can you understand me?
Officer 2: Somehow the DNA mutation not only changed her cell replication, but transformed her existing body mass.
In the doorway, the grumpy captain stands next to a lieutenant, looking over the two terrified officers holding the animals, who appear shocked to see them.
Captain: Lieutenant, you told me a petting zoo would raise morale.
Lieutenant: Sorry, Captain.

Fun detail: Everyone’s wearing Selesnya colors.
Yep, You get an alien virus and do nothing. Yay…
Yep.
Most viruses are completely incapable of jumping the species barrier, much less the xenobiochemical barrier.
That said, the fact that I still can’t go outside without a face mask is why I said “most”.
