#78: We Will Need to Quarantine

“We’ll need to quarantine ourselves as well,” Vanessa added softly, her voice carrying a weight of solemn realization. “Even with the HAZMAT suits, this won’t be a quick fix. It’s time to make a move, John. This is too significant to delay. We’re not equipped to gather a sample, not when we’re dealing with… something intelligent.”

The word “intelligent” echoed in the room, sending a shiver down Kelsey’s spine. She recalled the haunting image of Madrone on the camera feed—not panicked, but rather accepting of his fate. It was a chilling reminder of the gravity of their situation, one that demanded swift action and unwavering resolve.
