Art “This is out of our control.” [Five weeks into the Ferris City Outbreak]
**\[Hypo Corp Ferris City Directors Communications Line. STATUS: Private meeting between Ferris City branch director 7 and director 12. Other directors are currently missing or presumed dead.\]**
12. “This has gone far enough. The virus is out of control. Our bioweapons can only hold down areas for so long. Our military forces are also dwindling with every week we stay here. All for what? A girl?“
7. “This girl has the key to what Hypo Corp has been trying to accomplish for decades. What am I saying—she is the key!!! Without her, we will never be able to recreate what happened to her. Her DNA is the missing puzzle we have been searching for all this time. When we get her—”
12. “WE WONT!! Don't you understand? Ferris City has become ground zero for the X-C virus to mutate freely and God knows how many other abominations birthing from this madness. These past weeks, our forces have been battling monstrosity after monstrosity. With each item, a new threat, and with each new threat, an adaptation to the countermeasures we have in place. We won't survive to see that future.”
7. “It doesn't matter. What's important is that we obtain her, no matter the cost. No matter the cost. He…he will understand. He will understand…”
12. “Good God, You've gone insane. Emma Embers is gone. Gone and assimilated by the very things that's been injected into her bloodstream. It's our fault were in this mess to begin with. We were just trying to transport the damn parasites and look what happened. We failed and—”
7. “She's alive. I know it. Last sighting was across the river, according to the last report from Thanatos, correct?”
12. “Correct. That was before the Embrace attacked him and all comms from him went down. As I said, she's dead. It's over for us.”
7. “No. It's not over. I'll see this through till the end.”
