:D They are now that they've seen what she did to the abandoned park. SPAZMAT is working on plans for Ashley to practice with her powers in some of their trouble spots. That will give her opportunities to develop more control, and to use her powers in positive ways. With a little luck, there's a bayou that will quit producing mutant crabs every time it floods.

Yeah, prions are even more of a pain than viruses. Thinking about Ashley's superpowers work, they degrade even many inorganic materials at close range. So they ought to destroy prions, but ask siliconshaman to be sure.

No, chayne is nanotech, a version of gray goo which is limited to spreading through flesh. It can't "jump" from one victim to another through air or across inorganic materials such as pavement. It can only spread through direct contact. That's about the only good thing about it.
