<i>All but the shoulders, neck, and head are blown apart. As its body spills open, you see that the organs are no where near Human, Zypher, Lycene or Jyri, and have possibly mutated because of the parasite.
The pinkish growth on the back of the head detaches itself. It quivers, and then explodes, sending a sickly-sweet gas into the air.
The other creatures round the corner, and enter the gas cloud. They stop for a moment, and then two of them pull two metal plates off of the walls.
They hold these metal plates in front of their torsos as a makeshift shield.</i>

Sorry, but it seems I'll have to stay out of posting for a few days. This whole thing is just coming down on me. I'm feeling quite depressed, I'm sick and to make matters even worse, my arms hurt like hell when I try to use a computer. I need to relax for a while, so I won't be posting again untill at least monday. Sorry about that, just leave any characters floating where possible.
I'm sorry to hear Xect, I hope you get better soon.
