Hordak scoffed. "Fine. Seeing as there's almost no chance I am not already infected, I will handle the bats. But only so I may kill Paul myself."
1. I absolutely cannot risk more blood drawn from my body. As for not getting infected, the boat has sailed on that one. Let's see...this research states that bats avoid light and are attracted to dark. Too bad it's broad daylight, so herding the bats with spotlights wouldn't be very effective. What we could do instead is create the darkest space possible. Multiple of them if the bats split up during their flight. Says here they spend most of their time on the ground, so these spaces shouldn't be up very high. If it's possible, release invertibrates in front of the entrance to bait them inside. If they've been exploring all day, they'll readily come in for food. Keep watching that makeshift cavern from afar so no bat gets left outside. When the last bat is inside, we could take one of those curtains made of heavy wire and roll it over the entrance, effectively keeping the bats inside. Nice little temporary bat exhibit. With protective gear on, we could slip inside and bag the bats from there, with the wire keeping them from escaping.
2. First of all, if Paul is listed as an authorized person here, deauthorize him as quickly as possible. If he continues to be authorized to our tech, then all our efforts will be void. I fear that any one of Frankie's employees could be a spy for Paul, but as you said, we have to take risks. By the time Paul is deauthorized, we should set up a new first gate in front of the main gate with a scanner programmed to check for an authentification. If it sees an enemy, it could give off a wail audible to everyone else on the island. That's more of a long notice idea, though. On short notice, position at least one guard in front of each animal pen. Arm them with a tranq gun and a taser if they aren't already. Dig deep trenches between the pen and the pathway, so the intruder gets stalled on their way to the gate, leaving us more time to take them down. Sometimes the simple ideas are most effective.
3. The entire island must be on full lockdown. Paul is planning to use that virus as a weapon, so we must prevent him from leaving to the mainland. Sabotage his vehicles if you need to. Every person under his employ must be subdued one way or another, though the reluctance of the one he zombified implies they might be reasoned with if they see what he plans to do. Position round-the-clock guards at every pivotal location. Use the better trained animals as attack animals. That's how we watch for him. How we capture him can't be an ordinary trap. I saw the knockout spray you used on his guards, so let us use it, and those tranquilizer darts. Arm your guards with the darts, make sure they have plenty since Paul is so slippery. As for the spray, we could plant triggers around those parts of the island that will release larger jets of the spray onto our target if he steps on them. Make sure our guards know where these triggers are so they won't get knocked out themselves. I would love to help you patrol for him, but I'm too...I have to save what little energy I can.
That done, he limped out of the room and onto the beach, where he collapsed again. Still breathing, just barely able to move at this point. And is that...actual fear in his eyes? He tapped on his tracker pad and pulled up Entrapta's picture, smiling weakly at it. If she wasn't here, that meant she had a greater chance of being alive.

If you hear about someone putting characters through intense despair and misery, then that someone is probably me.
