Eric wonders what the point of him telling them this story was. Mira figures it's just an act, and doesn't mean anything. Q's not so sure. Anyway, it's time to begin the game. The pig's stomach contains three syringes, filled with Radical-6. Once infected, symptoms can take anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours to manifest, but once it happens, the host finds an irresistible urge to commit suicide. The mortality rate is 75%. Transmitted through liquids, it's extremely contagious. Of course, the mortality rate of FBR is 100%. An antagonistic relationship exists between the two viruses. If you were infected with Radical-6, it would be canceled out with the addition of FBR, and you are unaffected. Conversely, injecting Radical-6 into you after becoming infected with FBR will cause them to destroy each other, and there are no adverse effects. Q sums it up. Zero then claims to be a clairvoyant. If he had foreseen that they'd all choose to inject themselves with Radical-6 at this moment, he'd have coated the fingerprint authentication device with FBR, meaning they'd already be infected with it. On the other hand, if he'd foreseen that they wouldn't inject themselves, then he'd leave the needle clean, so they would not be infected with Fanatic Bio R. So if what Zero says is true, there's no reason to worry about the situation. Either way, their being saved is a foregone conclusion. Eric says that if that's the case, there's no reason to choose. But Q and Mira figure Zero is lying about being psychic. Well, it's decision time. Let's start with "don't inject". Q says that the important thing to determine is if they're already infected with FBR. He believes that they aren't, and in fact, that "Fantastic Bio R" doesn't sound like it should even exist. Eric says the same could be said of "Radical-6", but Q says there's no doubt Radical-6 is real, because he's heard of it before. Q thinks Zero wants them to become infected with Radical-6, but can't do it himself. The door opens, and Eric runs for it, followed by Q. Mira, however, takes a syringe before leaving. Back in the lounge, Eric asks Q if he was telling the truth about Radical-6. He can't explain why he knows about it, though. They ask for more info on Radical-6, starting with its name, which Q explains just as we learned in VLR. Mira finds this explanation satisfactory, but Eric wonders if it's really possible for thoughts to slow down like that. Q launches into some scientific babble. Mira makes him dumb it down to "the body's composition changes as a genetic switch is flipped." For example, the fact that parental experiences can sort of be passed down genetically, even though the genetics don't actually change. Mira screws with Eric for a bit, suggesting that if the two of them did it, the baby might be psychic. Oh, because of the danger they were in. If someone infected with the virus were to go outside, it would end humanity. C-Team's dead, but D-Team's still all alive. FIRE, CRASH, FIVE. Huh, thought I saw those before, but Control+F didn't reveal it. Must've been in the lost post. Eric believes C-Team is still alive, but Mira and Q don't. Eric asks Gab his opinion, because Eric's clearly losing it. They get injected with the sleep/memory loss drugs...that could be related to the spread of Radical-6. Anyway, there's something I noticed in Zero's story this time...the heart was removed from the woman, still alive. Doesn't that sound like Mira's MO? She did say she was fairly young the first time she did it, so...it could've been 17 years ago.
