Knowing he would soon be transformed, Roman stops running. [[Adelaide Brooke]], unaware of what happened, tells Roman to come with them. Roman tells them to go, and informs them that he was infected by saying "I'm sorry, Captain. One drop". Mia screams and sobs as he is infected and begins jittering, but Yuri restrains her, and so they all make for the shuttle. After his transformation, Roman and the other infected personnel went to the glacier and screamed so they could crack the ice. Roman and the other infected personnel were killed when Adelaide blew up the entire base. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'') | ||
