MHA #6, Wednesday Evening
In the aftermath of the Toymaker's defeat, the Kincaid-Price household had wasted no time in getting back to normal. Which included everyday domestic things like making dinner. Dinner with actual fresh ingredients that weren't scavenged from a nuclear wasteland or looted from an abandoned store or made of plastic or what have you.
Just a nice, normal vegetable stir fry. Liam had the bottle of soy sauce in hand, about to add it to the vegetables already frying, when there was a sharp, stinging pain at the side of his neck. The bottle of soy sauce clattered to the ground, forgotten as his hand came up to swat whatever it was away.
He sat in the operating chair in the Mothership's medical bay, watching with trepidation as the needle slowly approached. Sandoval hadn’t offered him any sort of aenasthetic, hadn’t even strapped him down. So it was up to Liam to stay perfectly still, keep his physical reactions under control, because even the slightest movement and the needle would miss its mark, hit the wrong part of his brain stem, and at best he’d be looking at permanent brain damage. At worst, well...
The glass shattered above him, sending the parasites in the incubation tank flying everywhere. Frantically, he brushed at the creatures that had landed on him, but one crawled up his arm and to his neck. A sharp pain, and he slapped his hand over where the parasite had been but it was too late. It had burrowed its way in.
"Get it out," Liam shouted, clawing desperately at his neck. "Get it out!" He struggled, fighting an unseen enemy, nails continuing to gouge his skin, welts deep enough to draw blood.
