After his big realization John kind of gone a bit into the deep end, he started to hunt all cells he could see leaving a trail of scattered biological materials in his wake when he came back to his senses he kind of just stopped uncertainty of what he becomes and fear of how he acted was too much of a shock
was he even himself anymore or more of the virus itself he felt a strange sense of kinship with Alex after his experience
after that examining his cell body he was kind of impressed with the results of his rampage seems like the hunt bore well results in more robust proteins structures and unique subsets of proteins and amino acids and an increase in his biological complexity compared to any cell currently existing right now seems like his snap episode at least bring some benefits with it
he immediately stopped hunting other cells and started to think deeply about what to do next he can't just continue to hunt everything he sees he might change earth's evolutionary history otherwise for now one cell from each species until he can evolve the thing he now planned on
(couple days later)
it's finished it's finished muahahaha!!!!!
John deeply thought to himself he finally created a viral agent that can infect cells and go dormant without killing it and pass down into offspring cells after division
it was a much smaller packed tightly specialized version of the Blacklight virus that was dedicated to one thing and one thing only
record the DNA of infected cells and their mutations and biological data and send all of this biological data to himself
how did it do this?????
simply put psionics specifically hive mind telepathy
the discovery of that ability was horrifying and concerning for john since the prototype was mostly a hard sci-fi universe other than the biological part but you would think even biology would have its limits well red light virus had an answer to that simply put psionics the ability itself made no sense at all and put more validity to Alex's obsession and claims with the blacklight and redlight virus's being alive and sentient how did black watch scientists even create such a thing in the first place???
the mere existence of such a thing frightened john to no ends he simply thought viruses in the games can act like biological computers send and receive signals but no it was real psionics
since redlight had it why did not blacklight???
and thus John discovered his supernatural ability
anyway's this strain would solve away all his problems once he released it he would have unlimited consistent genetic access from all life itself while no longer worrying about affecting the evolutionary direction of the earth!!!!
time to put it to good use!!!!!!
