[The vial that Alucard passes over to Viktor is small, not much longer than his own thumb. He knows it is full of a terrible mix of his blood as processed and absorbed by a mouse, and it has already been noted in his own log books that the minute he removed the needle, the spot healed in the little thing immediately. The mouse has been given some blood sausage in gratitude, before being put in a pen that has a wheel and a few good spots for it to burrow.
The consistency itself is important. For the first two weeks of the work, it wasn't there. The same mouse might not heal, but it would scorn the light one day, only for it to heal instantly and have no other apparent traits the next. Nothing made sense. Every ability Alucard had manifested itself (the floating), only to wear off.
They had figured the time part out, at least. That was down to the amount of blood given. It was processed by the system of each mouse, before essentially being burned through. Fuel of a sort. Important data to have.

The mouse gets a pat on the head, at least.]
Thank you, Quincy.
