Chapter 6: Early Stages of Infection
Early Stages of Infection
After securing the control room and taking control of the entire central area, the first task was to isolate the infected people. The operation involved sequentially sealing off the passageways and entrances of each building to isolate the infected into a few clusters. Those in inconvenient locations were lured using cargo drones. Although there were some losses in the process, as long as the shelter is normalized, we can produce as many drones as needed.
Artemis is currently controlling hundreds of cargo drones simultaneously, flawlessly managing this tedious and arduous isolation task. During that time, I skimmed through the records, looking for anything useful among the various communications or records left by survivors in the central area after the outbreak.
I received a cup of hot coffee brought by a cargo drone.
"Thanks, I appreciate it."
A sip of coffee, warm but not too hot, with its bitter taste, cleared my mind. As always, it’s black coffee. Artemis always makes my drinks this way. She dislikes me consuming sugar or cream. She finds the increased secretion on my skin unpleasant, which I suppose is considerate.
Most of the logs were meaningless screams, complaints, prayers, or cries for help, but Artemis filtered those out, allowing me to gather some information that helped in understanding the situation.
