After having learned a bit more about Resonance it made sense to look into it more, try to find a way to help T'charrl return to normal. To this end they were really taking a leap of faith, putting their first chance in getting the information out of Garesh. The General had absolutely no reason to disclose where he'd found the spirit; he'd been beaten by T'charrl, so why would he help? They were going into this arrangement with little expectations but who knows, they may end up pleasantly surprised. The man in question was being held in the palace, down in the back in the cell rooms under constant surveillance. Even without the energy he'd taken the man was still dangerous, so it was necessary for around the clock guarding. A little reluctantly Eslaria had granted the Prince a chance to speak with the man, though he absolutely had to bring his friends with him. No worries there, they were going to come along one way or another. Haku had since returned to the ship which now left only Shu and Takeshi with T'charrl, but even that should be more than enough for their friend to be safe. "Not going to lie, I'm surprised this creep is still alive..." Takeshi mumbled, glancing around the barren corridors leading to the cells, "If someone tried to do this to Saiyans they'd be killed, that was how it was back on Kortal anyways. Hell, probably on Earth too, the guy did some nasty stuff. I guess your folks are better people than that though." Maybe a lifetime in a cell was more of a punishment than just offing someone though, if you could look at it that way. How long did a Kaesstrian live anyways? He knew bugs back on Earth hardly lived longer than a short while, a few days even in some cases, but he seriously doubted that was the case here; T'charrl would be long gone if that were the case. The two guards that were leading them to the cells gave him a disparaging look with that comment, to which he only frowned and shrugged them off. Was it really such a bad thing to ask? Looking over at T'charrl he nodded his head towards their destination, "You ever been down here? What's it like? I mean I've seen some really lousy cells, and some really nice ones, how do you guys, you know, treat jerks?" This had to be close, Vegeta had a gut feeling he was on the brink of sorting this all out. One gene, just one gene, that was all that was missing from the mapping. He'd already grown the cultures to begin the stem cell treatment, but with that one missing gene it wasn't a complete cure. How had he overlooked a gene? Twice he'd gone over the entire map, back and forth, and yet there was something missing. As it stood now Viral was precariously close to breaking down, did he have the time to make one more pour through and pick out the final piece? Or should he administer the treatment now, incomplete, and hope it would work? Putting his hands on the cold steel top of the counter he leaned forward, staring at the sheet of paper before closing his eyes and letting out a groan. Much as he loathed to admit it he probably needed to start treatment now, or as soon as Viral got back in the ship. There was no reason for the Beastman to be stuck indoors all evening, not while they were on Kaesstra and away from danger. Yumi would be nearby to help him if need be, and he himself was but a call away. All he should be doing right now is focusing on the cure, and once everything was complete he'd have to begin treatment, finished or not. "Even so... I'd much rather it be complete..." Vegeta grumbled, sniffing in annoyance as he pushed away from the counter. How infuriating, coming short of his goal and being unable to achieve what he'd set out to do. It didn't matter than genetics wasn't his field of expertise, he'd done all the research and studied whenever he could so he should know the basics at the very least. Hell, Shu could grow a culture of genes with simple enough instruction, so his achieving that feat didn't mean much. Shaking his head he went to examine the vials instead, counting about two dozen in all. By his calculations he could administer two a day, one in the morning and one at night, and if he had done everything he was supposed to then the process would be complete in just under two weeks. Granted that was only reintroducing the genes into Viral and stabilizing him, it would be some time after that until he'd recovered entirely and was back to his full strength. "Father... I don't know how in the world you did this so many times, it's a headache."
