Chapter 26

With a nod to Holi, Eoin settled back at his desk and began studying the samples.

The viruses appeared to be perfect replicas, and because he'd created these versions he could also take them apart. The records of the nano-virus on Holi's computer system wouldn't allow him to break them down to the point of understanding what parts triggered the virus to respond. The equipment in the laboratory was more than sophisticated enough to allow Eoin to fully map out the virus, but it wouldn't do it on command. He had to decode the virus himself, sequence by sequence, until he understood all the variants.

The problem was, he hadn't the time to do that.

Ally thought they had three days, five days if they were very lucky before the raiders returned. He personally thought an easy seven, but as Ally was the one tasked with getting them out alive, he left it in her capable hands.
