The remaining forces for Rhinefield that hadn't fled or died during the initial outbreak had gathered in the remains of the V.I.R.A.L HQ to go over some sort of plan to push back the Garden. Alton and Scarlett were the last to arrive with Jinx, Florence, Alice, Sam, and Emil.
Emil lay on the sofa, still returning to his senses, while Sam sat on the table looking concerned. "You still with us, Emil?"
"Just about leader… I'll be ready to fight in due time; I just need to catch my breath."
"What about you, Sam? How are you feeling?" Alton questioned, worried for his friend.
"I just feel a little sick. Having Mortem control, my body was off-putting, to say the least. It's not like I have time to gather our senses. How bad is it?"
