"You must have seen it at least once in some movie," Lev said. "A drug people take so they can go without for days. It's something like that."
"That… still doesn't make sense…"
This was the miracle drug, a capsule that gives people superpowers. Dante couldn't bring himself to accept that most of it was nothing more than a militarized ration.
Lev grabbed one of the small cases set to the side, opening it and taking out the blue capsule inside.
"Though I put it that way, the amount of calories contained in this little thing is way too much." He said. "You would think that one of them could sustain someone for a month, but humans aren't made to take in that many nutrients at once. It would be indigestible at best, and it would kill you at worst."
"Wait, seriously?"
"Seriously." Lev nodded. "And that brings us to these strange cells packed into the pills."
Dante turned to look at the microscope, already having an idea of what his bony friend was trying to say.
