"Then again, Candyland can get pretty violent and I want everyone to be make it out of here alive."
She seemingly ignores Bradley's quip about her relationship.

"Her mind seemed to be focused on the notebook in her hands. Still reading. "Yes. Ghost, right?"
Ghost nodded. "And you're...?"
"Adriana."
Albert looked between the two. "Does she know she's uh..."
"A homunculus?" Adriana finished her sentence. "I know I lost my memories, and from what this book is telling me... I know very well who I am."
She walked out of the room. She walked past Helios, not even throwing a glance at his direction. Helios frowned slightly, but ultimately followed.
***
"THE NUMBER NINE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED. IT WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR NINE SECONDS."
Everybody shuffled through the door quickly as it closed behind them. Just behind it was a small chest, which Emma promptly opened to reveal the vaccines inside.
"The moment Bradley is cured of Z, he'll be contagious again." Emma elucidated. "So it's best we hold off on that."
Midge grabbed the chest, holding it under her arm. "Let's get to Violet's trial first. Where to Emma?"
"Just down the hall."
***
As they got down the hall, they found themselves in a fairly large warehouse. It seemed to be used for storage, but there was no special objects of interest inside besides a large monitor on the wall. There was also an elevator at the other side of the room which had THE INDIVIDUALIST written on the door.
"Vi...you don't have to do this." Teddy insisted. "We got the vaccines."
Violet looked at Bradley, his face neutral. She took a deep breath and approached the elevator, inserting the key in the side. The doors opened.
“Hello. Violet.” Null’s chilling voice filled the room. “Welcome to your trial.”
Violet took a deep breath again, but ultimately seemed steady.
“Before I give the next instruction, I suggest all of you thoroughly discuss the following prompt.”
The monitor showed static, but then quickly displayed some text to everyone.

"Come on, I got no damn idea," she whispers, the smile fading from her face.
"Well, Albert gave us a big hint earlier when he was captured by the Leader's goon and had his memories stolen so that-- well probably so that they could build a time machine. There was a Teddy homunculus who said he had Teddy's memories even though Teddy had been burned to death earlier in that timeline and his memories had been lost to history. Plus it sounded like they were close, the leader and Teddy. Maybe the reason this is Violet's trial is because she knows who the suspects would be better than us."
"Which is a pity considering the whole reason I'm here is to stop the Leader."
She stretches out her neck, rolling it all the way back.
"So, yeah the leader can control homunculi somehow. The leader had the power to build a time machine and likely used it to send someone back in time using that time machine in the garbage room, which isn't mine by the way. Whatever it sent back in time got Teddy's brain data already and brings it to the future so that homunculi can be made of him."
"Also... if the Leader could control Helios, maybe we're wrong in thinking that Helios and the Leader were against one another."

"Anyway, Helios makes a good point. It's possible Adriana was controlled by the Leader at that time."
"Emma probably just manipulated the Leader into acting by making the smoke go off. The smoke would have knocked out the real leader and they would have wanted to know what was going on."

Realizing how complex the weeds were getting, Emma decided to simplify. "... it's my belief that Zero knows who they are. Even right now."

"...sorry, that doesn't help us now. I had thought there might have been a clue there, but after thinking it through I guess not. Um... well, if Zero knew they were Zero, and Zero was... here... then would they have tried to intentionally get Helios killed when and where possible? Is that a clue we can use? Are we really sure Zero is here to begin with?"

Midge rubs her brow.
"Well Ghost, I guess we could suspect, say, Tyrell Hodges of being Zero. Certainly he could write overrides into all the homunculi at SkyTech. He would control the whole world too, considering Helios would be his puppet as well almost certainly. That would mean that the war between Helios and the Leader is actually all a ruse, which doesn't seem too likely considering how it actually set Helios's world domination back."
"So if we rule out Tyrell, then I think it can only be one of the ten of us."
She peers at the others.
"And I can rule a few of you out already."

"So if we think about it that way, one person comes to mind, though it does seem kind of ridiculous...Still..." He cocked his eye in someone's direction and looked at them skeptically.
"Bradley was somewhat of a 'Patient Zero,' wasn't he? ...Could that be what it's referring to?"

"They used to call me Patient Zero"
If the others seemed shocked by this Bradley seemed nonplussed as he turned to Ghost. "Don't you remember? You gave me my name and I gave you yours. They would always just call me 'Patient Zero' but...it never seemed right compared to all the names in the stories I read. I never understood it and you told me that it wasn't a normal name. That's when you called me 'Bradley' Ghost."
Bradley smiled warmly reflecting on the memory "Knowing now, that's what my parents had meant to call me is nice so thank you for that Ghost." He frowned slightly "It's a shame that your CDC didn't call me by my proper name from the start" Bradley sighed. "Still that Zero guy in the future can't be me, I'd never do that stuff. It's not a real name and after having been through all this I can't think why I would do all that mean stuff."
He gave Violet a big smile and a thumbs up "Hope that helps with your trial somehow."

"There's something else I haven't told you. About the reason you were called that..." She started once Bradley was done talking. "I have explained before how the different Blight strains are basically mutations of each other. Weaker strains can evolve into stronger versions under certain circumstances."
She looked down. "A pregnant mother passing the virus onto her child could be one such circumstance. Bradley, you ended up developing a form of Blight-Y when you were infected. You're patient zero of the Blight-Y virus."

He paused considering Emma's news "Blight-Y...that explains how so many people died when I escaped...but it doesn't explain how I could be Zero I mean...in any timeline apart from this game I would have been killed for escaping because you wouldn't have told Ghost to come rescue me."
He tilted his head to the other side "But...in any timeline where I was in this game, I can't see myself leaving or doing all the evil stuff that 'the Leader' does in future so that Zero can't be me."

"Maybe once you escape and cause the pandemic you realize that you can only survive through a series of violent blood transfusions, and then the rest is future history."

"Besides the blood transfusions thing is wrong, I never felt sick in the slightest and as far as I recall they were taking my blood."
He sighed "Worst comes to worst I suppose I could just wear a suit like Ghost's all my life and keep the infection contained." He joked but his voice held no humour.

"What does killing Violet accomplish anyway?! It's just stupid!" Bradley gave Violet a wary glance and moved to block her if she tried to go. He gave Teddy and even more cautious glance in case he tried something drastic.
"Look why don't you all just leave...we'll inject ourselves separately...away from each other. You can contact the CDC to come back and get me. I'll just wait here...then no one has to die."

“Null said Violet has to get Zero to go in the elevator,” Teddy snarled. Cold fire burned behind his eyes. “But all you want is for Zero to die, right? So is it good enough if he goes in the elevator at all? Or does Violet have to be the one who puts him in?”
Teddy wasn’t applying enough pressure to choke Emma, but it was still very very uncomfortable.

"I... uh... Look, I just woke up and I'm trying to get up-to-speed." she said as apologetically as she could. "But the first thing I do isn't gonna be to force two kids kill each other. I'm happy to die here if that's the only alternative. Or... maybe I won't? Because of my nature, I'm not sure what will happen to me."
"At any rate, I've made my call. Neither of these kids are dying because of what one of them might or might not do in the future that they have no control over." she continued. "I'll oppose anyone that says otherwise. Anyone." she said, glancing alternatively at Teddy and the suspended Emma.
After a bit of thinking, she asked to no one in particular. "I... don't suppose there's a kid-sized version of that anywhere we can access?" she said, pointing to Ghost's hazmat suit.

"But yeah... If it isn't a bluff, and Emma really did fucking set it up to kill us all if one of the kids didn't kill each other, then she may as well die too. And if all of us die, then whatever fucking tragedy was supposed to happen should really be avoided, right?"

"It's ok Violet...I'll die again if I have to."
He spoke quietly for only Violet to hear while looking at the others while they argued. "There's so many here who'd be happy to see me die...they seem to think the future is set in motion, that I won't change which seems a pretty fatalistic point of view. The things we've found out about me only make it worse in the end." Bradley hung his head silent for a moment "Listen to them...talking like we don't matter, like they have a say in it but it's up to you Violet but...you have a family out there...a life!" he glanced sideways at Ghost "There's nothing out there for me but ghosts and death." He patted Violets shoulder "I'm not saying I'm giving up or that I don't want to find another way out of here but if it come down to it...it should be me in there." He finished quietly.
Turning to the others he spoke louder to them again "You've still not answered my question Miss Null. What even makes you think this would work permanently? We've all died before, what if this moment right now...what if what you are doing fails and MAKES me hate mankind for it?" He stayed beside Violet "What if you just postpone the inevitable and one day I get out...with full memory of the torture you inflicted on us...is that the world you want to create? You'd be better off just curing me now...you have the power. This whole trial is pointless."
He looked over to Adriana "I'm not sure she'd let us go back for it but there was a couple of suits that would work back in the mansion. Still if I just stayed here I'm sure someone could come back with something from outside."
