"No! You got affected too!", screamed Tails in fear. "Yeah. A falcon attacked me and managed to scratch my arm, so I am being increasingly affected. Thankfully, I am still somewhat sane. *sob* I've been keeping it a secret because I don't want to be experimented on!" She said, almost crying.
Tails kept his distance and told her the truth too. "I'm sorry, but I gotta go back.", "NO!... Can you stay for a bit longer? I am fearing for my life right now.", she asked in a very depressed tone, and he agreed to stay for a while, but as soon as he sat down, an alert showed up outside.
____________________________________
This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill! We are currently looking for a Mobian breaking the law and being outside. Thanks to knowledge from civilians, it was a golden-orange fox, and we are trying our best to find him or her and tranquilize to take it to a safer place.
Do not leave your home! Seaport City is working to fix this problem. As of now, we have 16 cases. We are getting closer to finding the solution. Mayor Frentward is fully aware and will not allow any immigration or migration.
If you find the Mobian, report immediately. It is for your own good.

Tails sneaked to the window and peaked through the curtains. He saw many, many policemen on roof pointing all over the ground for any possible target. "What have I done? Now, I have brought even more fear... wait. Is that... a squirrel cop?", said Tails in curiosity.
That is when Blaze realized he was impacted too. Tails went to open the window, but Blaze immediately grabbed his leg to prevent him from being catched. "What are you doing to me, Blaze? He is so defenseless. You know I'm fast enough to get him.", said Tails in disappointment.
"You are being controlled right now... ooh, a las- NO! NO! Keep it together, Blaze! You are not an animal, you are a Mobian. Same for you, Tails!", said Blaze, occasionally struggling to control herself while seeing one of the dart guns having a laser to aim better.
She finally went back to normal and so did Tails. "Phew... thanks, Blaze. I was so close from being tested.", "I think it's better if you return.", said Blaze, concerned. "You have the... good, good, Fli- you got the Flicky! Just return, OK?... I don't wanna be tested, and neither do you.", she continued.
Tails agreed and was gonna leave, but when he left the building, the officers were aware of where he was, so he was immediately tackled and tranquilized.
"Officer K-81 here. We have located the fox, known as Miles Prower. Bring him to the truck.", said one of the officers, who dragged him to it. Afterwards, it drove away...
Blaze was aware, but couldn't leave due to the danger. "What to do? What to do?", she asked herself, anxiously. After a while, she remembered something. "Maybe..."

35 minutes later...

Tails woke up inside of a testing cell, only to be met with the Mayor.
"*groan*... Mayor?", said Tails while waking up.
"Hey, Miles. I see you're awake. Don't worry, we won't hurt you, but we are curious as to how you are only half wild. Sam, we need you. Miles is awake."
"Are you part of this?!", yelled Tails. Mayor Frentward immediately said she is trying to stop it, and she also said she has never hurt the others. She is just containing the danger. Tails understood. "I see. I was scared for a second. I thought you were evil or something."
Sam, the scientist showed up. Tails started to be intrigued to him.
"You know, he kinda smells good... come closer, please. I- Keep it together! But I... I... I NEED IT!", Tails failed to contain his urge and slammed himself to the metal door with a window, which startled the raccoon.
"See, Miles? Even the tiniest amount of infection is enough to cause heavy danger. That is why I was so extreme on the local law.", the Mayor said, reassuring she is not trying to dictate the city and be an evil leader. "I just want to protect. Sam, you can wait if you want. Give me a second."
She turned on a suspiciously similar laser to Eggman's, but instead of adding side effects, it was just a brain x-ray. It showed something interesting. Once it was ready, it got uploaded to the screen.
"Is that... my brain?", asked Tails, seeing the picture on the screen. His brain had such an irregular shape. Bumps here and there, but the brain was the tiniest bit smaller. That explained the more animalistic behavior.
"Indeed. The other infected people have a more extreme change. Some of them were getting worse instead of getting to the worst step immediately.", said the Mayor.
This reminded Tails. "AMY! CREAM! VANILLA!", thought Tails, knowing something awful could happen. What is even happening there?

At the workshop...

Amy and Cream were getting bored, but they weren't aware they were getting worse. Luckily, Vanilla was doing perfectly, but was worried for Cream.
"So, Cream. What were you doing before you went to the garden?", asked Amy in curiosity. She made her ear twitch to remove the itch, something that she would normally do with her hand.
"Nothing too special. Just writing letters to you before I went to the garden with Mr. Tails.", said Cream, happily, and quickly tapped one of her feet due to her happy energy.
"Amy? I feel worried. Where's Tails? Also, I'm tired of juice and berries.", said Cream, aware of the foods Tails had.
"I don't know, Cream. I hope he's fine. He hasn't been communicating with us, though. He's likely trying to calm Blaze down.", Amy said, optimistically.
"You make a good point...", said Cream, in a more serious expression.

Back at the lab...

"Hey, little buddy... everything is gonna be OK, alright? It is temporary.", Tails told to the Flicky, who was still in the backpack.
"So, Miles. How are you feeling so far?", asked the Mayor.
"I'm not feeling anything right now.", he responded.
"This makes everything so much worse. Now, we need to be careful everywhere. We don't know who could have it due to the isolation... hold on... give me a second, Tails.", she asked him, happily, which Tails nodded.
"Hey, Sam. I know how to stop the isolation. Make everyone look at prey that fits their species for 30 minutes. If they succeed, we can release them, but if they fail, they stay until it is solved. That way, our city doesn't collapse."
"That is a great idea! Tell the public!", said the raccoon scientist, approving the new law. "I'll broadcast it as soon as possible. Let me go to a private room. Do not enter it.", said the Mayor. This was the message.

EMERGENCY ALERT! EMERGENCY ALERT!
[This message has been made and approved by the Mayor of Seaport City]
Hello, citizens of Seaport City. We are now going to give a test for every citizen. If they succeed, they will be released, but if they contain the virus, it will be a 99% fail. However, now, instead of jail time, if you exit, you have to go through a more difficult test. That'll be all.
However, as of now, 3 more cases have been located in Mystic Ruins. However, the trains are out of operation to avoid transportation to other places. Also, we heard an update from West Island. They will be prohibiting any imports or exports, and all food there will be thoroughly sanitized and examined.
Angel Island has also made some changes. Traps have been added everywhere to avoid travel.
