[Sam, Salt, and Casey are examining the virus via computer]
Major Salt:
Okay, sirs, here we go. These pictures were taken over a period of eight hours. Normal, healthy kidney cells before they met the virus.
[the computer supports Salt's following claims]
Major Salt:
In the space of an hour, a single virus has invaded, multiplied and killed the cell. And in just two hours, its offspring have invaded cells
[points at the screen]
Major Salt:
here, and here. Continually multiplying.
[Salt clicks another button and the virus is shown to be spreading further]
Casey Schuler:
Jesus Christ, five hours? It infects the cell, replicates, and kills this fast? These numbers can't be right Ebola takes days to do this damage.
Major Salt:
Sirs, the numbers are correct. I wish to God they weren't. One goes in, millions come out. Every cell is dead.
[Salt begins to zoom in]
Major Salt:
Now we see them individually, searching for the next victim until there's nothing left to kill.
Casey Schuler:
Mark this day, Salt. We could spend our whole careers waiting to see a new virus.
[Salt zooms in some more]
Major Salt:
Sirs, Mr. Motaba, up close and personal.
Casey Schuler:
I hate this bug.
Sam Daniels:
Come on, Casey. You have to love its simplicity. It's one billionth our size and it's beating us.
Casey Schuler:
So, what do you want to do, take it to dinner?
Sam Daniels:
No.
Casey Schuler:
What, then?
Sam Daniels:
Kill it.
