Can it be.. undone?

"...I will." Nate replied.

"And she said she'll be up and about to help in a bit." he went on.

"Whenever that is." he mumbled.

"Doctor Edwards, do you want me to tell people to leave you alone?" he then asked.

"Effectively take charge until you step out of the office?"

"No. It's ok. I'm just trying to take a breather for a second." Angela told him.

"At least she'll be all right." She added.

"I'm going to get someone to look into the break room though, see if it's something like the others... or if it's something on its own." As she spoke, she got to her feet.

"Which break room?" She then asked, as there were two in the large wing.

"The one with the fridge in it." Nate responded.

"Or... wait..." he muttered.

"They both have fridges now." he realised, one being a more recent addition.

"Break room A." he clarified.

"The one that's... always had the fridge." he said with a light chuckle.

"And all right on just needing a breather." he went on.

"Let me know if there's anything I can do to help relieve any stress."

Angela nodded.

"Thanks Nate. I'll keep that in mind." She said simply. He could hear the gratitude to her voice though, in her words.

"I'm going to go and check it out. " She told him. "Do whatever you need to."

He nodded in response.

"All right." he responded.

"Bye for now, Dr. Edwards." he said, before leaving.

And now the worst was happening, so far.

This was striking in the medical wing. So far it was just in the break room, but what next?

Their medical equipment? Was that safe?

Was it just a matter of time until it wasn't?

About twenty minutes later, Angela made her way into Hal's office, having been beckoned in after waiting a couple minutes.

"Whatever is spreading through here, has hit the medwing." She told him honestly.

"Alicja was shocked badly, the fridge in there needs to be replaced." She continued.

"as far as I was told, and Nate can tell, she'll be fine, though."

"Damn it!" Hal cursed loudly.

"If this keeps up, we really ARE through!" he exclaimed.

"At least she'll be fine." he said. "Nate knows his stuff when it comes to that." he went on.

"...how many cases now? 8?" he asked.

"9, actually." she corrected him, which caused him to look displeased.

"And how many have died?" he asked her.

"Three." she responded.

"Damn it." he cursed again.

"Have you noticed anything with the survivors?" he then asked her further.

"Nothing unexpected." Angela answered honestly.

"everyone seems to be recovering fine." she added after a few seconds.

"Well, those that survived." She added before sighing lightly.

"But... I thought you'd like to know about Alicja, and that I'm going to kill power to the one break room." She told him honestly. "Since we don't know what's going on, and I really don't want to see anyone else sugger while in there."

"I understand." Hal responded.

"Do what you need to." he told her.

"You have full and complete authority to make any decision you feel is necessary to ensure the safety and survival of those in the medical wing." he said.

"Remember that." he said further.

He then sighed, and shook his head.

"We haven't been under fire THIS badly in a long time." he mumbled.

Angela just sighed lightly.

"I don't think it's ever been this bad while I've been here." She commented.

"I'm just going to head back to the medwing, make sure that everyone there is still ok." She added.

"If you need me, you know where I'll be."

"And you know where I'LL be." Hal replied.

"Here." he said.

"Trying to find a damn solution to this." he growled.

He then sighed, and shook his head.

"Anyway, go on." he told her.

"Get to where you're needed the most."

Angela nodded before heading off.

She sighed as she sat in the empty cafeteria. It was pretty quiet in there too, but she wasn't too surprised, and certainly wasn't going to complain about it.

She just wanted to know what was going on.

There was no way for her to know, she was sure. Not without some real testing and whatnot. However, she and her zombie friend DID manage to discover that its, in fact, mana. However, they couldn't identify where the mana was from, who was the cause.

As she was sitting there, someone approached and sat down across from her.

"Hey." he greeted her.

"Look like you've got a lot on your mind." he said.

"Guessing it has to do with this crap, huh?" he asked.

"Yeah, Sharp's really tearing his hair out about it, to." he said further, before pausing.

"...metaphorically speaking, that is." he added, suppressing a chuckle.

She was silent for a moment, didn't move, before shifting her gaze to his, her blue eyes locking onto his dull grey ones.

"If he had any, I'm sure it'd be gone by this point." She commented, sighing lightly, and sounding a bit exasperated. Her face didn't show it though, but that wasn't too surprising. As Ty had learned, her face showed very little in terms of emotions, due to the fact that it literally couldn't. Her voice though, still expressed.

"Aedan, Kiah and I have only been able to figure out one thing - it's mana based. For whatever that's worth."

He just sighed in response.

"While that's something, it's... well, it's not much, but it could be everything." he shrugged. "At least we know that perhaps we can use mana to counter it?" he suggested.

"..." he was silent, before looking around.

"Empty. Hardly surprising." he said.

"This is something that's freaking everyone out, and I wish I could say it was unwarranted." he muttered. "But this is unprecedented. And there's no telling what will happen from here." he went on, shaking his head and looking at some soda machines in the corner of the room.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"I need some caffeine. Soda." he muttered further.

"You hanging around in here for a bit?" he asked. "If so, I'll sit back down and we can talk if you like." he offered. "About... well, anything, really. Related to what's going on here or not."

She was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah, I'm hanging around. I need a break from the whole alchemy hunt." She answered before grabbing her wallet, which was sitting on the table near her, and tossing it over.

"Mind grabbing me whatever has the most caffiene?" She asked as he grabbed it.

"Thanks."

"Yeah, sure." he replied, catching the wallet and taking the smallest bill out of it. It was all that would be needed, anyway. He tossed her the wallet back and made his way over towards the machine.

She then sighed and her thoughts went back to alchemy. Was there any way to use it to help here?

If so, how? Was this situation solvable at all?

Was this it for the Unit? For them?

She then heard the faint whirr of the machines in the corner, meaning it had accepted the bill, followed by some beeping... and then silence... before she heard an audible crackle...

...and then what sounded like an explosion.

She barely had time to look back, when she saw the man in question be thrown back several feet, landing in a smoking heap on the floor.

"Shit!" She exclaimed, jumping to her feet and rushing over. There was no one else in the cafeteria at the moment, even those that were usually working there weren't there. It was basically a skeleton crew at the moment, and the couple who were still there had headed off to do something or other in the back, or take a break, as she'd been the only one in there at the time.

As she hurried over, she made sure she had her switchblade on her, knowing that if Ty survived that, he'd probably appreciate a death and reset. At least, she thouht it might end up beng the better option. There was no way for her to know, so she was aiming to be prepared.

She slid over on her knees as she dropped down on the way, and checked his pulse first, wanting to know if he was even alive first.

He wasn't moving. At all. The best she felt was a twitch or two.

And she felt no pulse. Nothing at all.

It made sense, though... he was also filled with shrapnel from the glass door that had been on the machine... which was now on fire, and smoking, with pieces of itself everywhere. This had triggered the sprinkler system, which was spritzing water everywhere.

But one thing was certain.

...the man was dead. No pulse, no breathing, no heartbeat.

For now.

She didn't say anything before sighing, heavily.

"Well then." She muttered before using her watch, and getting it to call the medwing. She figured that the glass should be removed before he revived, and knew damned well that she couldn't do it with the sprinkler system. Wet glass and wet hands really didn't mix well.

She also knew that she was stronger than people expected, but she was sure that Ty was a bit heavier than she could handle... plus he was taller than she was. Sure, it was only 2 inches, but it was enough that she was sure her delicate frame wouldn't be able to handle it, combined with the glass, water, and blood all over the place.
