"Does it have a name?" Zero questioned.

"If it does I don't know it."

"Hm. I assume you don't know of any antidotes either." Zero guessed.

"No I doubt it has one," Nox comments.

"Hm. Does carbon monoxide ring any bells?"

"Not it believe me unless Carbon Monoxide can turns it's victims into living manakins then no it's not."

"...I believe you meant dead manakins." Zero noticed. It was unclear wether or not he meant that as a joke. "Carbon monoxide takes the place of oxygen in the blood stream. The victim slowly dies of soffacation."

"No with the right dose the victim can be turned into a living statue basically," Nox tries to explain with fustration.

(Yeah)

"How you recommend stopping it without it getting released," Nox asks.


(Skip)

Neva enters the hospital after calling Joe, "Please pick up please pick up.''
