The office’s only nurse was one of the 17 people affected by the cedar, suggesting (perhaps) that the wood had gained some level of sentience and was targeting potential threats first.

What the hell does that mean?

Fake news?

"They say it got smart... a new order of intelligence."

And they call the cedar --- SKYNET!

Satire site?

The sentence would mean the sculpture gained intelligence and selected the one person to make sick. Why it’d think the nurse would be a threat is open to conjecture.

Maybe she was halfway joking. The statement reads as though she thinks the wood sculpture was sentient, meaning imbued with a native intelligence. It sounds as though she’s saying the wood sculpture ‘decided’ who to make sick and affected the most ‘threatening’ targets first. I think she was using
‘black humor’, common among co-workers.
