The pilot talks into the mic as I slap a headset on, Ok, sanitize everything! I get a weird feeling, the hairs on my arms raise. My eyes drift to a guy, his hazmat suit has a hole. I run to the door controls, Hey, who opened the door!? I raise my gun, point it at the man, the man raises his hands and Markus shouts, What are you doing!? "He's infected!" How? "Hole in the suit!" The man shouts, Wait- Am I going to die!? He groans and bends forward, something sloshes down the suit. I run up and push him, he slides back and black blood pours out the hole. What the hell is that?! "Clear the bay! Now!" Markus limps as the rest charge out.

The man leaps at me, I'm sorry! I hold him back as black barbs poke out his suit, I can't stop! I push him off me and a black spike flies into my chest. I groan at it's sting. Markus shouts, Ok! Door's sealed! Pull up! -Yes sir! I run towards the door and grab onto something. The man reaches for me, but he falls out the ship. My grip wavers, "Level out!" You heard him! -Leveling out! My fingers slip and I bang against the floor. You alright back there!? A small pool of black blood squirms slow towards any hiding place, like an insect. I walk up, touch it with my bare hands, the blood spirals up my arms and I jump, gasp, What's wrong!? "It just spiraled up my arms." What happened?! Shrill, distant screams come from the blood as it seeps into my skin. With it, a rush of energy goes to my head. It's like I can eat- absorb this stuff. "Markus, I need to be quarantined when we get back." Why? "I survived nuclear fallout like it was nothing and I just absorbed that liquid." Hey, close the door so we can break atmo!
