Viral could argue all he wanted to, but Yumi knew she didn't have any special abilities. Did he think she hadn't tried since she'd been changed? She couldn't use that solar energy, she certainly couldn't form one of those machines like Viral could, nor could she transform. If she really did have some kind of ability as her friend claimed then it was latent, and probably not all that impressive. "You didn't get lucky with the Elite, you beat him fair and square," Yumi interjected, looking out over the water and tilting her head to the side, "You really think so? I'm not picking up anything, it's weird. Maybe my senses aren't nearly as good as I thought they were..." What was he noticing that she wasn't? A smell? Sounds? Despite trying her darnedest to pick anything out she couldn't get a single thing, so what gives?

The filtration systems weren't terribly complex, even if a few components were irregular by comparison. After just a moment of examining everything Aito was able to pick out what he needed and promptly got to introducing the purification into the machine itself. Three cylindrical tubes that ran along the piping, once activated it should gradually move through the piping and then be released into the reservoir itself; safe for consumption and capable of rendering those strange cells obsolete, a perfect solution. Popping one of the tubes back into place the doctor moved to replace the final one, pausing when he noticed a shadow behind his own. Assuming it to be Yumi or Viral he casually glanced back and let out a gasp as he was suddenly swept up, being slammed into the wall of the dam and pinned, a black tar like substance restricting his limbs and movement. What in the hell was this?!

Yumi was bored to tears at this point. Crouched down on the shore while drawing circles in the sand with a stick, it wasn't the afternoon she'd imagined when brought out here. At the very least Aito should be almost done which meant she could go and do something else for the afternoon, with Viral if he was willing. "Do you have anything planned later Viral? After this I mean," she asked, focusing down on her sandy doodles as she spoke, "Not that sitting here waiting isn't a blast, but I figured we could do something fun." Of course trying to have fun with Viral was easier said than done, but she wanted to give it a shot anyways. Getting up and throwing the stick in the water Yumi frowned when she noticed a subtle yet pungent odor, sniffing at the air and wrinkling her nose at the scent. Looking around for the source she finally turned around, eyes widening seeing a black mass up where Aito had been working. "Aito!" she called, racing back up the slope to try and help.
