“I’m sorry,” Amy said. “So, so sorry. Oh god, this is bad.”
None of the rest of us spoke.
It’s the medic’s time to take charge. Gotta listen to the doctor’s orders.
“I can’t- can’t figure out what this venom is. I can’t touch it to see if it’s organic, um, I can only see what it’s doing. At least part of it is enzymes. It’s denaturing proteins in her cells and using the byproducts to build more enzymes, and it’s breaking down lipids as a side effect, shit.
Huh. So the venom makes more of its functioning part from the parts of Victoria’s body.
Oh god, and there’s more to it. The fluid the enzymes are swimming in is some kind of acid.”
Yeeah, this is pretty bad.
So, Amy can’t recreate Victoria’s flesh, and she can’t interact directly with the acid. If they get rid of the acid and enzymes, maybe she could use bugs to provide the new material she needs, like she did when she made Atlas by fusing them?
