1. What's a Mary-Sue

2. It might be a combination of her working with animals and having all those shots and her having sum kind of special power(Megamorphs#?)

*Irony, thy name is Blue* ::)

A Mary-Sue (or a Gary-Stu, for a male) is the character who is 'special'...

so VERY special that there are several hundred thousand of them in modern literature. *Gag*

Usually, she is ALWAYS right, has eyes/hair that change colours, a magic power of some sort, and everyone loves her. She sometimes sacrifices herself to save others, but she usually survives by some strange means. She has a weird name. She can be a total witch, and everyone still wants to be her best friend. She is loved by the hottest guy in the story.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

I know people can just happen to be immune, it just seems strange that Cassie would just happen to be immune to an alien flu, especially since Tobias should have had a stronger immune system.
It also seems strange that they would all just happen to be at the construction sight RIGHT when Elfangor crashed, and one of the controllers just happens to be their vice-principal (or was he the principal, I can never remember), and that one of those kids just happened to be Elfangor's son (or is tobias the ellimist's son, I forget exactly what happened in that one).

Mostly cause she was narrating. But it would have been interesting if she started to get the symptoms while on the mission.

The whole thing with them meeting at the construction site was not a coincidence, as revealed in Megamorphs #4. The Ellimist set the whole thing up.

actually drode accused it, but the ellimist neither confirmed nor denied it. we can guess that he did, but no one's a hundred percent sure whether or not he did.

Oh come on.  It is the ellimist after all.  Of course he stacked the deck.  I seriously doubt he would rely on luck and coincidence.  Yet another reason why it shouldn't be surprising that Cassie seems to be the utility animorph who basically does everything the rest can't.

Thank you Captain Spoil Alert. -_-

I suppose it's my fault though for posting here. I usually try to avoid this board, for that exact reason.

I think Cassie was immune for a variety of reasons, some of which have been suggested. 
1. She dealt with diseases and animals every day
2. Dumb luck
3. She was an estreen; maybe, since it affected morphers, this was a perk
4. She is an anomaly!  In MM#4, she was the one whose mind was least fooled.  The Drode was po'ed because the Ellimist knew that Cassie was a "freak," an anomaly.

she was immune because she was the current narrator. simple as that.
the book wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if she was home throwing up while jake saved the day.

Because Cassie narrates all of the 4's and 9's until the end.  ;)

Also, epic necro!

I refuse to remove this sig because of some petty argument. RAF must remain solid.

I like the idea best that it's all in there heads, and Cassie was too focused to let it get to her. As for her being the narrator of the book, it could have been solved by her getting sick at the last minute. Then we wouldn't be wondering why she never got sick. She just took longer to get there.

its really fairly simple. since an immunity to an alien disease in a human genome IS possible, though probably rare, the elimist likely found somebody with that quality and shoved them into the group just in case.
