With the three new arrivals to the lab, each of them had to ask for developments, giving poor Beast hardly a moment to answer. But what else was she supposed to expect from Satan Herself, Nina van Essenhout? She could've easily given Meryl Streep a run for her money in [i]the Devil Wears Prada[/i] and she even had the shoes to match. Guin practically gagged as Cassandra mentioned it was good to see Nina, not even bothering to hide the disgust on her face for Nina. Taking another sip of her energy drink, Guin could've even sworn that it didn't taste right ever since Nina went into the room, as if her very presence poisoned everything around her. Guin skimmed over the list of chemicals that Beast handed to her. One of them jumped out at her. [color=#cc33ff]"Methyl iodide...It's a common enough chemical, but extremely dangerous. It can cause mutations in the genetic code, seizures, brain failure, comas..."[/color] She wasn't sure why or how Magneto intended to use it, but she doubted it was for any sort of safe industrial process. She then looked over the list once more. [color=cc33ff]"He's taken some nucleotide bases and enzymes...Tissue cultures...This isn't a virus based on something natural. It's entirely manufactured. There has to be something about the mutant x-gene that prevents it from harming a host, but..."[/color] Guin bit her lip. [url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12114528?dopt=Abstract]Back in 2002[/url], a team of scientists made the first entirely artificial virus, designed to target humans in order to prove that it could be done. The research was out there and all Magneto would need would be someone competent enough to perform the laboratory tasks. Taking a picture of the list of chemicals with her phone, Guin returned it to Beast and then finished off her energy drink. [color=cc33ff]"Without the virus itself, we'd need someone who was already infected and survived to get their antibodies from in order to make a serum to cure it...Hitting Magneto before this thing is even created is going to be the safest option. We know where he is and the team has been training all month. Pietro can get us in before Magneto even knows we're there."[/color]
