The Sil Galaxy - War for Freedom

[Sparrow]

A Xeon specialist? This seemed like the perfect chance to get rid of one of the greater threats on the ship. He nods absentmindedly and exits the room and walks out to the hall
‘The name was Petty Sergent Bradly...’ it thinks about the name, trying to find anything relating to it in the host’s mind.

The medic will find the shard is drawing nutrients from the captain. His immune system would ignore it all save for the actual wound. It it’s solid splintered state it seems to be dormant, only drawing from the captain instead of attacking the brain.

[Sweetheart]

"Captain, are you ok?" asked a Medic near by.
"Yes, I just need this... thing removed." said Brakon.
"Ok, as soon as we get to the medbay." replid the Medic, worriedly looking at the wound on the Captain's arm.

[Sparrow]

McKay continues his search for the Xeon expert. He freezes for a moment, like a small seizure, when the parasite accidentally crosses two sectors of the brain incorrectly. It corrects the problem and continues on its search.

The shard twitches slightly, causing its sides to splinter out in attempt to make it harder to remove in its entirety.

[Sweetheart]

"Dis isn't das file I needed!" yelled a man in a long white labcoat.
"Yes, sir, sorry... sir." said a scared private.
"I NEED MINE! Wahrheit über Xeon-Prozessoren! GET ZEM NOW!!" yelled the man.
"Sorry sir, right away." said the private, who muttered something under his breath before leaving the bridge area.
The man in the labcoat turned toward McKay who was approaching the door.
"Wait! Are you das man das captain vished me to sprechen to?" asked the man.

[Sparrow]

McKay turns to the scientist. It took a moment for the parasite to understand the accent. He smiles realizing this was one he was looking for.
“Yes.” he says then nods.
The parasite splits. The spawn waits to move until it decides how and when to exit.

[Sweetheart]

"Ok, zen come vith me." said the man.
"My name is Dr. Gurman." said Gurman.

[Sparrow]

Interested in what the man would show it, the parasite decides to play along, at least for now.
“Hello Dr. Gruman. I am McKay.”
He nods,
“Okay, lead the way.” he says calmly, then follows Gruman.
While following it plots methods of contaminating the crew, it would have to do so discreetly, until it gained enough spawns to overpower the remaining uninfected.
It considers asking about the whereabouts Petty Sergent Bradly, but decides to do so later.

[Sweetheart]

Gurman leads McKay to a hallway lined with sprayers.
"Dis is RX-2000. It will spray you with non-fatal amounts of raditation. I've done studies and it shovs dat any creatures from Treshold are very sensitive to radiation." said Gurman.
"After you, Herr McKay." said Gurman, holding his arms out toward the sprayers.

[Sparrow]

McKay looks to the sprayers, the parasite panics slightly not knowing how to avoid this. It figured whatever the Dr. had to show was worth the risk, plus exiting it’s host now would probably be more problematic. McKay was acting as a human shield after all, and if it left, it would be openly exposed to the radiation. However the risk was still high, and what would happen if it was affected?
“You sure about this? I mean, isn’t any level of radiation bad for you?” he asks unsure.

[Sweetheart]

"Vhy, not at all, you see, Humans are more resistant to da radiation than the creatures from Treshold. We belive the Xeon is of Threshold origion so we use radation." said Gurman.
Gurman hangs up his labcoat when two other medics walk up to the sprayer.

[Sparrow]

Attack was out now that more people were there. It had to either risk it or make a distraction. A distraction may cause more issue then good. McKay looks to the sprayers again, it would have to face something like this sooner or later. It then discovered a possible failsafe, he places a hand in his pocket looking for an item, he finds the I.D card. The spawn moves to his hand and exits attaching to the back of the card. McKay takes the card out, keeping the spawn from their view.
“Darn, I forgot to give this back. Guess I’ll do that later.” he says then shrugs.
He intentionally misses pocketing the card and drops it. He bends down to pick it up, the spawn races under the nearest shoe, then to the nearest hiding spot, hopefully with out notice.
McKay pockets the card and stands.
“If you’re sure then...” he says.
He hesitates a second then walks through.

[Sweetheart]

The sprayers turn on.
A mist like spray coats McKay with little irritation.
Dr. Gurman also goes through the sprayers.
At the end of the line of sprayers, a man stands at attention, waiting for the Dr. and McKay.

[Sparrow]

McKay waits on the other side for the Dr.
The parasite is relieved that, at least for now, the radiation had no effect on it.

-If he left the book where it could get it-
The spawn leaves from it’s hiding spot and makes its way towards the book the Dr. had left behind. Its plan to hide in between two pages in disguise as a book mark.

[Sweetheart]

The Doctor pass through the sprayers.
The coat he had placed on the hanger was raised up over the sprayers.
"Ah, Dr. Bradly." said Gurman to the man standing at attention.
"McKay, his is Herr Bradly, he had helped me write a book about the Xeon called, "The Truth about Xeon."
The Doctor reaches into to his labcoat to retrieve the book.

[Sparrow]

The spawn stiffens and becomes flat. Resembling a plastic rectangular bookmark with a sharpened edge. It stays towards the middle of the book, poking partly from it’s top.

McKay nods in recognition.
‘So this is the one...?’ he thinks calmly.
Now was the time to think of a plan.
