thanks for the ask! here's a little snippet from a horror-y short story I'm poking at with my Missing Homeworld guys, in which Micah accidentally acquires a parasitic Thing:
“Call it off, Micah–“ Micah tries to tell him that he can’t, that he wouldn’t even if he could, but he can’t get in enough air to speak. He can feel the floor underneath whatever the fuck is coming out of his arm, sense what it’s sensing, knows that Jin is ANGRY // AFRAID // DANGEROUS. He doesn’t so much see the lines of code analyzing the biologic detritus on the floor and deciding what’s safe to absorb and what’s not as much as he feels something else thinking and processing inside him. It’s dizzying, like he’s got two sets of senses doing two different things. And one of those is deciding that Jin is excellent biological material for repairs. “Call it off.” He should’ve done this first, some last bastion of rational thought tells him. This would be a great way to get rid of a body.
