| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected the 31st of May 2023 at 5:33pm. It was collected with the temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The conditions of the soil were overall really dry. Texas has been dry lately, so it was hard to get a sample that was moist. The sample was taken at the Vahalla apartments underneath a staircase where many cats, dogs, toads and insects lay near by. |
| Naming Notes | "Attack Titan" came from an anime show where Titans attack innocent bystanders, but they must break through the walls to get to these people. Just like viruses, they have to travel along the surface of the cells until the protein can bind the receptors of the cells. Just like Titans breaking through the walls, viruses also have to go through a process. |
