“What would happen if the subjects showed negative side effects? I have seen the outcome, but I am uncertain it has fully shown what it can do… perhaps if we leave one subject in charge, we would understand what we are dealing with, Viles.”
“Well… we are not here to revolutionize the patients—we are here to heal the patients… but answering upon your question. Body temperature causes the virus to grow in minutes. It certainly starts with skin changing. Once the patient is infected, the area arouses black vines, causing a red substance to leak freely from the skin, which we know distorts. Older patients lose all elasticity. However, for young patients, it is not likely to happen. Black circles surround the eye because the body is tired but cannot seem to pass on. However, what triggers me is why the ears bruise when the infection starts, which causes a control on their brains. I am uncertain if the virus controls the brain. However, from brain scans, we have seen the infection playing a part as a parasite – perhaps the virus is not a virus at all. But of course, we know organ failures would follow highly along with the figure losing control over their corpse.”
