"It's not present in parents, relatives, nothing." "It's like it just popped into existence in 1986." " Is that possible?" " No!" "Not really, no." "So he thought that Deel's must have been a man-made disease." "So he looked into the patients' backgrounds for a common denominator." "Nothing." "Except for one thing." "They'd all at some point worked for Corvadt." "Why do you know all. this?" "It's an image of the genetic mutation in Deel's." "Fuck." "Hang on..." "So, what... if Dane was a geneticist, maybe he saw this somewhere, drew it into Utopia." "Yeah, only Utopia was published 1985 and this mutation didn't actually exist until 1989." "No way."
