Prepping to Leave

Anna still took the vials from Julian. "I can at least try to study them to the best of my ability in the meantime. Just no promises on any groundbreaking discoveries."

"Thank you, Anna. Just be careful; I don't want this substance to affect you in any way," said Julian.

Julian turned to Noah. "We're going to need to find a suitable chemist, the sooner the better. I heard that the government opened up a base nearby in the resort area. Can you send a few from the scouting team to check it out?"

"Yes, of course. I'll make arrangements right away," said Noah, walking away.

Ian decided to stay with Anna and help her out in the lab. He was very interested in figuring out what his drug was about and enjoyed Anna's company.
