Valerian

Valerian was right. Despite his rough exterior, deep down—deep, deep, deep down—Ambrose was smart. He truly was the son of the best law firm in the sanctuary.

Valerian knew Ambrose was searching for the truth, the truth behind the sanctuary murders but Valerian couldn't let him find out the truth. Not until he found a cure for the virus. He opened his own screen and opened the map of the lab. Aside from their red figures in the infrared, there was a red dot behind the metal door. Just as he thought, he recognized those symptoms. Those were no side-effect from drugs like Ambrose thought. They were symptoms of the people infected with the virus.
