Chapter Thirty-six: Too Late for Hope
"They will come now" Nicholai says to Kelly. "Make sure you're ready."
"Of course" she says getting up. She goes to leave the room.
"Make sure everything is ready." She motions to him and leaves.
She enters a small tube room filled with about 50 tubes. They are filled with what use to be human bodies. Probably part of the newly reopened Project W.
Kelly goes over to one and pushes the button. The water evaporates from inside and the door slides open. 12 can be seen inside. Her eyes are closed and she seems to be weak. Kelly places the briefcase on the floor and kneels down taking a syringe it. She flicks it and then injects 12. She pushes the button and the door closes as the water fills the tube up once again. "Hmm, lets see how they handle this little surprise" she says smirking.

By now both Claire and Sherry have been injected with the anti-virus. Nurse Iris has taken blood tests to see if their blood has bonded with the anti-virus sufficiently. She walks into the room holding a folder. Claire sits next to Rebecca holding her hand. Sherry lays down trying to sleep.
"I have your blood test results to make sure you both are cured from the 'T-Veronica' and 'T-Veronica-2' virus" Nurse Iris says. Sherry sits up yawning and stretching. "Claire… you are completely cured. Your blood is at the normal level. Hmm… Sherry…"
"What is it" Sherry says getting nervous.
"What happened" Claire says getting up.
"The anti-virus doesn't seem to have taken with you. Your blood hasn't bonded with it" she says.
"Oh my god" Claire says.
"Oh no, Claire" Sherry cries running over to her.
Claire wraps her arms around her. "Don't worry, everything will be okay" she says.

Hunnigan sits by the computer and sends all the information on Norah and Perdy to the BSAA. Suddenly an alarm signs. The lights go dark and a red flashing light has taken with an alarm ringing. A voice comes on. "Please evacuate the premises immediately" it says.
Hunnigan runs out of the room and goes to Kathy Burton and her daughters. "You have to leave now" she says to them. "Follow me" she says. She hears cries from the entire family not quite positive what they are saying exactly. "You'll be fine" she says to them as she tells one of the guards to bring them to safety.
Hunnigan runs back inside and goes into the elevator going down to one of the bottom levels. A guard stands there. Gunfire can be heard behind one of the steel doors. "What happened here" she asks him.
"The patient, Steve Burnside. He mutated. The doctors weren't able to save him" the guard tells her.
"What! Without the anti-virus… it's a lost cause" Hunnigan says. "Lets go, they're going to need all the help they can get" she says taking a gun out as her and the guard enter the room.

When the helicopter lands the BSAA receive the information on Norah. They confront her on the information but she sticks to her original story about not remembering. All she has is little vague memories here and there. Knowledge in the medical field as well as several fighting styles, however, being completely clueless in how the knowledge got there.
She also shows little, close to no emotion, to the news that she has a child. Perhaps she doesn't completely believe or fully comprehend the news… yet.

Mister Birkin calls Ada into his office. "Your new mission. You need to go and keep a track on Tricell" he tells her. "We mustn't let them be in control. Make sure they don't hurt anybody" he adds.
She nods and walks out as she plans to leave to the Arklay Mountains.
As she leaves Nurse Iris walks into the room. "Sir, Sherry isn't responding to the anti-virus."
He seems to be slightly… shaken by the news. "Inject her again. Keep trying until it works" he says panicking. "Figure out something" he says raising his voice as she exits the room.
