[So today ended up being a day full of distractions, but Richie never got that answer he was looking for. Which is annoying and not that surprising, but he's right back at the his beaker table that night.
He wants to break the code. Even before he had been affected himself, the code had been an enigma he wanted to crack. The ultimate rubiks cube of science. Why does the meta-gene react to certain stimuli, but not others? Why are the results so random? What are the parallels? Why has the quantum juice managed to create so many metahumans from one single explosion? Given that the meta-gene was supposed to be rare, you would expect more people would have died than had been affected.
And if Edwin Alva's son could figure out how to get specific results from one puff of the gas, then Richie should be able to figure out how the gas managed to draw out the recessive gene in the first place.
Except all his tests are coming up empty-handed.
He sighs and lifts his protective mask to wipe sweat from his brow again. Maybe he's making this more complicated than it needs to be. Maybe he's looking at it from the wrong angle. Using his own blood for observations isn't doing much, but that could be because of the lack of other outcomes for the variable. The Big Bang Gas.
If he didn't think he would end up with another Germzilla on his hands, he'd try it on bacteria. Instead all he can is run simulations with Backpack on the different levels of the gas he's produced.
Maybe if he heated up a larger sample to record how the molecules break apart under pressure...]

[There's the sound of glass breaking as the windows of one of the thought-to-be abandoned buildings in Sector 2 blow out, a thick purple smoke that looks more like a fog bursting forth and saturating the area. It settles around the building for only a second before spreading out, a lavender mist that blankets the streets of the prison in the wee early hours of the morning.
Some may feel sick upon breathing it in. Or maybe they feel tired, fatigued and hurry home to sleep. Others may not notice anything until later. By the time the morning announcements come it will have faded completely. It would be like a strange dream until it's too late.]
{OOC: People can have reactions to the gas or explosion in this post! Event-style, threadjacking approved! Some people will have negative feelings or reactions, and if you're undergoing a mutation, there may even be stress and pain on your body if you want the gas' affects to begin now. All affects of the gas are up to you. But no one will have completed any kind of transformation/experience full effect of the gas until Morning Announcements or later! Oh, and people who see or some to ground zero won't find Richie as he'll have gotten out of Dodge.}
