"Captain" saluted a crewman.
"Yes?" asked Brakon.
"Your medical charts carrier is here."
"Ah good, send him in."
The crewman walked out of the captain's quarters to the main bridge.
"The captain will see you now." said the crewman.

McKay nods to show he understands then enters the captain’s quarters. He pauses at the door to take a quick glance around then spots the captain.
“Hello Captain, I’ve brought these charts that John asked me to deliver for him.”
He holds up the chart to prove he has them. Behind the clipboard the second parasite exits McKay’s hand and attaches to the back of the clip board. It flattens out to appear as a black smudge on the board, like it had been set in a puddle of ink.

"Ok, thank you." said Brakon.
He grabbed the clipboard and felt the ink on the back.
"What is this?" asked Brakon.
He reached for his cleaner, a very-acidic desolving spray.

McKay didn’t know what the sprayer contained, but knew whatever it was was problematic. The parasite on the board knew it was is danger, but anything it would do would tip off about its identity. After running the thought by, McKay knows even if the parasite didn’t move, it would be sprayed and react. Then McKay would most likely be checked medically. McKay coughs slightly, a small squeak of his parasite masked in the cough. The parasite on the board hears this and quickly reacts by gathering itself and leaping at the captain. McKay acts surprised and steps back.

"What the hell!" yells the captain.
He throws up his arms to defend his face, spray bottle in hand.

The parasite hits and clings to the captain’s left wrist. It arches back slightly and forms a sharp point, then brings its point down in attempt to break the skin and burrow in.
McKay recoils in panic,
“What the heck is that?!”

"I don't know but." yelled Brakon, just as the spike drove into his arm.
"Dammit!" cursed Brakon.
Brakon draw his arm and tries to smash the creature off.

The parasite breaks part off in his arm and hits the floor. It shrieks in a high pitch and slitters across the floor aiming to hide under whatever is nearby. It heads for a trash can.
McKay looks to the captain in panic.
“Sir are you okay?!”
It would take much time for the part that broke off to develop to maturation.

Brakon grabs his arm where the parasite had stabbed into him.
"I'm alive, thats a start" said Brakon
"I will need to get this removed, sterilized, and scanned." said Brakon, pointing to the broken sycth appendige stuck into his arm.
Brakon opens his desk and pulls out a small .22 revolver.
"But first, to deal with that small basterd." said Brakon.
Brakon takes aim toward the trash can.

McKay does nothing but look to the trashcan to watch what will happen.
The parasite stays hidden under the trashcan.

Brakon fires a shot toward the can but, is thrown off aim by his arm's pain. The shot enters the can but bounces back up out of it.

The parasite pulls its form into a small black pebble and remains still.
McKay looks to the captain, noticing that he appeared to be in a weakened state. He decides to wait and see what happens before trying anything.
“Did you get it?”

"I'm not sure." said Brakon.
Then, Brakon collapsed onto his chair.
"I got to get to the med-bay." said Brakon.
"Lt. Shelstad!" Yelled Brakon.
Behind McKay the door opens to reveal a heavily armored man.
-"Yes captain?" said Lt. Shelstad.
"Put the ship on full alert, shut all exterior access, and cancel connection with the Neotransent Station." commanded Brakon.
"Yes sir." replied Lt. Shelstad.
He left the room.
Brakon struggles to get out of his seat to examine the trash can.
He moves the can to show a small black pebble.
"I'm going to take this to Sci-bay to be tested. If it matches my arm, then this must be the alien creature." said Brakon.
He steps over to the intercom on his desk.
"Attention all crew, this is not a drill, we are going into full lockdown, code: 233-5BA. Authorization command, 'Xeon', said Brakon.
"All crew must be tested for any outside substances, please report to med-bay for testing." ended Brakon.

The parasite remains a pebble.
McKay keeps a calmer outlook but is in truth panicking.
‘This is no good.... I’ll have to leave this host, at least until it’s tested... But how will I ditch with everyone on the alert?’ it thinks.
It could transfer to the captain and retract the alert. But not knowing what the alert meant, retracting it may cause more suspicion. Not being able to come up with anything else it decides to ditch once given the chance. The parasite begins to draw nutrients from McKay to give itself more of a chance to get away.

The Captain tries to leave the room but stops short of the door.
"Mckay, I need some people I know, send for Petty Sergent Bradly. He knows more about Xeon biology than anyone else I know on this ship."
"I'll be in the Medbay, just send him there."said Brakon.
Then he walked through the door way where medical personel waited to study his arm.
