Mister Malady, time is burning, and I can see you need this explained to you. I am going to make this quick.

Mere ticks after we unplug anyone in the quarantine room from the blood filtering machines, they will die.
Marcela

◄
There is no way to bring the machines with us. They are too large.
Marcela

◄
The reason we have a quarantine is to minimize exposure to anyone else to the choke. If we take anyone in quarantine out, that risks the disease can spread.
Marcela

◄
Everyone. Everyone in that room has already accepted they are going to die.
Marcela

You may not have known this, being safe in Ion, but all of us have been ready to die while fighting Cryostoria.
Marcela

◄
All of us would rather die free than in some forced labor camp. We have been fighting with that belief for years.
Marcela

◄
While you were lucky enough to make it to safety, the rest of us were fighting for our lives.

If that door wasn't wielded shut, do you know what horrible tests Cryostoria and his tribe would do to them? Live subjects! They could refine the disease further.
Marcela
►
◄
I refuse to let any of them be tortured. The possibility of refining the disease is dangerous.
Marcela
►
◄
That endangers the lives of all of us further. No, Mister Merric.
Marcela
►
◄
If there is any hope for a cure, all of our research has to survive. That way hopefully no one else will die from this disease.
Marcela

◄
The greater good is the most important thing, Mister Merric. And that is what I protect.
Marcela
►
◄
And sometimes that means doing things you know are neccessary to protect everyone else.

The blood filtering machines are now off, and cannot turn back on. You have five ticks to say what you need to say to her, Mister Merric.

After that, you are welcome to be captured by the Air Army and be tortured. But I need to get this knowledge to the evacuation.
