Kashi's breaths were sharp and uneven, his eyes widened with pure horror, beads of sweat against his features, the breath from his mouth made the plastic helmet he wore cloudy, his whole body trembling, his palm covering the ripped part of his suit. 'It's all over'. He thought with shaky eyes as beams of sweat against his features flowed more. 'I will be infected'.
The bio-genetics came out, confused at the situation, they stared at the doctors with puzzled looks, especially the one on the ground.
"Who are these people?!".
"They look like doctors".
"Why is the other one screaming?!".
Whispers from the bio-genetics filled everywhere.
Ten came out observing the scene.
"Kashi!" Touka rushed to his side, holding him steady.
"Touka," he said as tears filled his eyes more.
"I'm done for" he cried.
Touka's eyes shake.
"I got you Kashi," she said, as she turned to the kids.
"Go back to your room bio-genetics," Touka said putting up a brave face.
"Let's go" she referred to her colleagues as she helped Kashi up, they left.

"What just happened?" Kaname said, folding his arms.
"They are doctors who came to refill our SPS," Shino said, stepping forward.
"SPS" Kaname said puzzled but then he remembered the serum, it was the one thing keeping them alive that was always connected to their hands when they slept
"Then why was the other one screaming like a girl," Kaneki said, holding in a laugh.
Some did too.
"I heard a ripping sound," Yumi said, blinking, and they faced her.
"Yes I heard it too, I think his protective suit ripped or something," Mirai said puzzled.
Ten slick his fingers, slamming his palms together.
"So that's it then," he said as their attention drifted to him.
"Not only do they believe we have this so-called virus, but they also think it can be venomous to them when being exposed".
"What are you saying, fatso?!" Kaneki asked in a bored tone puzzled.
"A Virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Not just that it can also be contiguous"
"That means the virus in our body can most likely be infectious," Mirai said with a thoughtful face.
Ten nods.
"I think they are scared of being contaminated," he shrugs.
Daiki listened with spinning eyes unable to keep up.
"As usual Ten knows everything," Shino said amused.
Ten smirks like a cat, turning to face Shino.
"Well...I took my biology classes seriously," he said amused.
Before turning to face the others, his features are serious.
"And besides it took 3 minutes," he said.

Level 19: Scientist/ Doctors Levels
Kashi was quarantined in a small hold-up room, they drew his blood and Hachiro tested it.
"How could he be so careless?" Hachiro said, pissed as his fingers went fast on the keyboard, the screen showing an analysis of Kashi's blood. Touka waited in anticipation with shaky eyes.
The result came up.
"This is?" Hachiro said, astonished as he rose on his feet with a start. Touka's eyes shake more after seeing it.
"He's-" she gulps hard.
"Not infected".

Ten yawned as he laid on his bed.
"I heard an annoying sound today," Sumi said leaning against his room door.
Ten paused his action.
"And you were nowhere to be seen".
She chuckles slightly.
"Well, I was having my beauty sleep which didn't go well because of some annoying sound" she shrugged.
Ten just grumble rolling his eyes.
"What did you mean about what you said earlier, saying it took 3 minutes?" Sumi asked curiously.
Ten smiled showing his teeth.
"So you were listening after all".
"Tck!" she sounded annoyed.
"I was wondering about that too," Shino said, stepping.
"Great yet another annoying dude here," Sumi said, rolling her eyes.
"You want answers that's why you came to Ten, Well I do too," Shino said sternly.
"Great now everyone runs to Ten, he's practically like a walking book" she pointed out facing Shino, who gave her a look.
Ten cleared his throat.
"I'm still here you know" Ten said with a twitching eyebrow.
"So this is why I said that....when we were given a briefing about the virus, it was quite clear the virus was fast spreading when someone is infected" he began.
"So the 3 minutes wasn't supposed to happen," Shino said.
"Yes Shino-san, the moment the rip happened he would have been a goner," Ten said.
"I see," Shino said.
"Hu! Well, that's amusing, wish it was the other way around" Sumi said walking away.
"Crazy" Shino and Ten said in unison.
Shino faced Ten.
"I kind of asked about Hiro," Shino began.
"He's in a critical state"
Ten froze with widening eyes, his looks darken.
"I see, it was bound to happen, the virus affected his eyes mostly, and going off like that would have resulted in that" Ten said.
Shino nods in agreement.
Yuki was a few distances away from them hiding behind a wall but she heard everything, her features were unreadable as she walked out.

Touka handled the results of the blood analysis of Kashi, through a transparent iPad.
He observed it.
"It appears the bio-genetics are no longer toxic for a reason that remains unknown," Touka said sternly.
Kiyoshi smiles broadly.
"Seems like there's more to this bio-genetics that meets the eyes," he said.
"Begin preparation for the next training".
