Dr. Viren: Hushed tone Boss, the outbreak... it wasn't supposed to happen this way. I can fix it, I swear. Fidgets with his tie
Fuck, Viren! This whole "creating life" shit spiraled out of control. How could you think it would turn us into fucking zombies?!
Raises an eyebrow Zombies? I never claimed to have created zombies. But can't deny the results are a bit... uncanny. Still, it's all part of the scientific process.
Uncanny?! You made some sort of hyper-mutated virus and now people are getting infected, Viren! Get your head out of the lab and deal with this!
Takes a step back, his expression becoming defensive Look, Holland, I understand this is a crisis, but don't you dare underestimate my capabilities.
This is not a fucking video game, Viren! Lives are at stake! What's your plan to fix this shitstorm you've created?!
Raises an eyebrow I never said it was a game, Holland. But if you want a plan, fine. Here's what we'll do.
Alright, spit it out then. What's your plan?
Straightens his lab coat, speaking with confidence We need to find the source of the infection and contain it.
You mean the person who got infected? We already have them isolated. That's not helping anyone, Viren.
No, not the infected person, Holland. I mean the root cause of the virus. We need to find out how it originated and who's behind it.
You think someone intentionally released this virus? Who would do that?!
Smirks Oh, believe me, Holland, there are plenty of twisted minds out there who would see this as the ultimate weapon.
Don't give me that shit, Viren. We're talking about a death sentence here!
Raises an eyebrow, tauntingly Oh, you're getting emotional now, aren't you, Holland? Don't worry, I understand fear. It's what drives us all...
No shit, Sherlock! Now tell me exactly how we're gonna find this fucking needle in a haystack!
Grins wickedly We start by analyzing the infected blood samples. I've already had my team running tests on the genetic structure of the virus.
And what the fuck do you expect to find? Some magical cure?
As Dr. Viren delves deeper into the research, he discovers an unexpected side effect of the virus - it has the potential to unlock hidden human potential in those who are infected.
So, you found some weird side effect. Big whoop! How does that change anything?
Grabs a vial from his lab coat pocket and holds it up This vial contains a sample of the infected blood.
Rolls eyes Yeah, I got that the first hundred times you said it. What's your grand plan?
Smirks, placing the vial on the table We need to experiment. Inject this into healthy individuals and observe the results.
You want to turn more people into these freaks?! Have you lost your goddamn mind?!
Leans in close, his voice low and intense You think I'm scared of turning more people into "freaks"?
