"Ah!" the nurse shrieked. "Someone get in here quickly! The Captain has collapsed!"
She slammed her hand onto the emergency button, and the entire quarantine room began to blare with alarms.
Several scientists in white coats rushed through the doors immediately. They seemed even more anxious than the nurse, entirely disregarding their own risk of infection as they flooded the room. They quickly deployed various instruments to measure Jason's core temperature, draw fresh blood samples, and monitor his vitals.
"He's truly infected this time..." one of the scientists breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He was the head of this particular research team, a man named Aidan.
Another scientist actually let out a nervous laugh. "Yes, his temperature is at 38.6 degrees Celsius. Not dangerously high, but the fact that he fainted means the Martian virus has officially breached his system."
