“Kaylin to Reactor room! What’s happened!?” A thick Irish accent hacks through the headset, “Some boy just saved our lives.” I smile, “O’Malley?!” “You expected some pansy?” I laugh, “I did.” “Hmph. Too bad- I need a team down here, kid’s locked in the reactor, he thinks he’s a danger to us.” I turn to Markus, “I know just the people to secure him.” He nods and marches off. “How is she?” “Life support’s online at least-" "C'mon, O'Malley, give me more than that." "Mm, thanks to Lasal, we'll make it. What about the infected sectors?” I smile, "We managed to fashion flamethrowers with spare parts. Secured one of the gas tan-" "Call you back."

Loud banging hails in the background, Lasal! "Do not open the doors!" The door opens, Monsters at the door! I should help. So I can escape, feed- I shake my head, No, to save him! I rush in and the door closes, Arms up. Wait- Damn it! The chemicals spray me, I twitch and scream as it seeps into me. The monsters smash through as my door opens. Kill him. I shake my head and lunge towards a creature and suck the life out of it. Let's eat them both. I turn slightly, then lunge towards another. "Kid!" I twist and grab the last one by the leg. I swing it away, countless creatures stand in the doorway. Let's devour the ship. Everything. I lunge towards the door and they back away.

The distant screams come back, but now I understand them- Kill us! It hurts! There's still an inkling of them still alive. Beneath all the sludge, fibers, a monstrous fog leaks from their minds. I clench my fists, Kill them. I click my tongue and lunge at them. They stab into me as I throw my fists blindly, my blood seeps into their skin. One tries to run towards Malley, goo shoots out me like a vine and wraps around it's neck. It falls towards me and I punch it's face. His face?! His eyes quiver at me. A large object slams me away.

I scrape into the floor, a giant mass of people held by the blackened muscle, they roar as some scream for help, the giant hive charges. Something's going on here. They weren't screaming before. I leap onto it and tear a soldier out. Tasty- No! I save them! The soldier hyperventilates as it charges again. I turn and dodge a giant fist. I grab hold and it throws me off. I absorbed some- Jeeps roar through and flames engulf the giant thing. "No!" I grab my hair as they scream. The giant hive flails recklessly, desperate to put out the flames. Tasty- I knock my head, I could have saved them! I turn to the soldiers, Yeah, I can eat them. I shake my head, No, they think they're helping- But they're not. A look at my wrist, a giant blade extends out of me. I grab at it, but it keeps coming out. No! I run past Malley- Arms up. I incoherently roar and twitch at the pain. The chemicals stop and the door opens on the other end. Malley peeks through, Kill! I rush towards him, blades pop out of my wrists, the chemicals spray again and I flail at the pain on the floor. Get in the room! Why did I do that!? The chemicals stop and I shake my head. "Something's wrong with my head!" No! Really?
