The player character opens the box before Jones gets to the letter '''F'''.

When she finds out that one of the suspects had been withholding information about it, she gets so angry that she manages to scare her into sharing her research with the Bureau. After creating the cure and distributing it to the remaining sick people of Bangalore, she makes sure to confiscate all the leftover virus samples and any research that went into it so it wouldn't fall back into the wrong hands.
