After wandering around all afternoon, Phil was ready to head back to his room when he bumped into someoneing the other
way. His observation skills were sharp, and he instantly recognized the person as someone who had bumped into him before.
He had investigated all the recent deaths, and among them were six individuals from Windhelm. That was curious because
Windhelm folks were rare in these parts, but to have six appear in one month was beyond unusual.
He knew he had to inform Philip and urge him to be on guard, but the collision left him feeling woozy, as if he had inhaled
something.n''s drugged concoction was potent, meant to muddle the senses for days on end.
Whatn didn''t realize was that Phil had grown up in a research base, rendering him immune to most chemicals.
Shaking off the disorientation in mere seconds, Phil grabbedn''s arm with a swift motion.n, quick on his feet, kicked Phil
away and vanished into a crowd dressed in hazmat suits.
Phil hit the ground, clutching his aching chest. He quickly got up, eyes red, and went to find Philip.
"Some guy just drugged me. My head was spinning for a few seconds, but he doesn''t know | grew up in theb, immune to all
that stuff."
Philip''s eyes lit up slightly, a smirk forming on his lips, "Find out anything else?"
"Yeah, Philip. There''s a strange number of Windhelm people dying offtely. The research base is usually filled with faces from
North America or Astronia. Hardly any Windhelmers. But this month, six of them kicked the bucket. Pretty odd, huh?"
Philip was now certain thatn was in their midst. He chuckled, his eyes narrowing with mirth.
Phil, confused by Philip''s reaction, asked curiously, "Something amusing on your mind?"
Philip stretched out and pped him on the shoulder, "| do feel happy; found something fun."
Seeing Philip in good spirits lifted Phil''s mood as well.
Meanwhile,n, having moved away, inspected the vial on his wrist.
No effect? This was Sarah''s concoction, designed to make onepliant. It shouldn''t have failed.
But his initial attempt had faltered, and with Philip mostly confined to his own room, Phil was the only link.

detail, would surely pick up on any clue thatn had arrived at the research base.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
lan was about to move on when he felt the ground tremble. He hadn''t noticed it when Sarah mentioned it, but now, an unsettling
feeling shot up from the soles of his feet, sending shivers down his spine.
He hurried back to the coreb, where Sarah was already waiting, her face pale from sensing the second tremor.

Such a gamble was risky; against the might of nature, human efforts seemed insignificant. Sarah didn''t agree right away, but she
