"This is not heavy machinery. The one in Braig's lab is heavy machinery, but it operates as much out of magic as out of science." This is not a joke. Dilan is on the waiting list for one.
Dilan held his hand up for a moment, "This is important, Aya, answer that in a moment. The cells that I had were mutating, even while they were dying. I'm not entirely certain what the energy they were using is, but it's not magic and it's nothing I've seen before un-magical either. Most of the cells were dead, but not all of them. The ones still living were cannibalising the dead cells around them...and Aya, when you walked into the room it was like they got another jolt of energy.
"I'm hypothesising here, but it might be related to your otherwise idiosyncratic reaction to magic. I would be interested in finding that woman's files and seeing if any note on her magic resistances or reactions is written down. In fact, I need her medical files as soon as possible." his voice gentles, just a bit, "I'm afraid I'm actually going to have to make that an official demand, too. I'll be sending it to your boss as soon as the two of you leave." Because...they aren't really up to handling his clearance on a professional level.
"I need samples of anything else that you run into. I need you to keep notes on what things do under the influence. I need you to understand that I do not understand why things are mutating, or how, or how to stop them. You are both in danger. Everyone, every living thing in this city is in danger.
