Chapter Five.
Dr. Francis Graves. This was his handy work Tech concluded after running various test and scans on the citizen Rev had captured. Having studied various research logs and other materials confiscated from Graves' lab, he knew the man's work when he saw it.
But how had Graves managed getting this chemical into so many people? It wasn't in the air, the tower's sensors would've detected an airborne contaminant widespread enough to affect the entire city. So how had he done it Tech pondered. That's when it hit him!
What did Graves had full access to, even from a prison cell?
"The water supply! It's in the water!" Tech exclaimed.
After a few quick test on a water sample, his suspicions were confirmed. He quickly notified the others of his findings.
"So what do we do about it?" Ace asked after Tech had told them everything.
"I was able to locate the antidote to Graves' formula among the materials confiscated from his lab." Tech said as he held up a small vial containing a yellow colored compound. "It's meant to be administered through the water system like its counterpart, but that only helps those who happen to take a drink. Fortunately, I should be able to synthesize an airborne version of the antidote to be distributed throughout the city. Using both, we should be able to have things back to normal by the time the affects of the Mellow ray wear off." He said.
"Then I guess the only question left to ask, is when do we get started?" Ace said.
"Give me sixty minutes, then it's go time." Tech said.
Exactly sixty minutes later, they were off.
