Hydrolia: The Origin

Act VI: Explaining The Mission

Heather wanted to know more about the mission. She asked John to explain.

"So John, what is Hydrolia? And uhh what does it do?" Heather asked.

Trying to think about how to put the problem in perspective without scaring her. As I'm thinking Heather interrupts "Is it bad? How bad?".

I frown.

"Really bad, Hydrolia is a serious issue, it's worse than anything else Earth had to deal with. What makes it worse is that we don't know how it started and we've been out for about a month, I don't know if there's anyone alive anymore" I explained

"So what does it so to a person?"

"Terrible things, luckily few people are immune. Only 1/10 of the population on Earth."

"So what does it do?"

"Oh sorry, it started off as the flu, then becomes an unbearable headache, afterwards it starts messing with your organs. Eventually leading to death."

"Man that sucks."

"Uhhh, yeah..."

"So do you have a chemical structure or a sample of the virus? Because I'm actually a scientist in this area."

"Yeah we do."

I then show Heather the lab room, where all the stuff I collect ends up. I'm never really in here trying to cure anything, I'm just collecting stuff.

"Ok this is great!" Heather exclaims.

I hand her the virus which is carefully contained in a very secure Petri dish. I have to put on the AHS when I work with the virus for obvious reasons.

"There are all the materials I have so far, if you need something we don't have just give me a call." I explain while pointing to the corner of the room with everything I have collected there.

"Wait!" Heather yells "I need some materials from Earth"
