At their present rate, they should infect the entire Union within 42 days." Dion stroked his beard and then said, "The infection rate isn't sufficient. Can we amp it up?" Nate looked at its consoles and tried adjusting the parameters. "I have increased the infection rate by 95%. It is the best I can give." "How long before it infects the entire targewww.onedoor.ccted region?" "By my calculations, it can be anywhere near 21 or 22 days from now." Dion crossed his arms and ...
