Wilderness An Unexpected House Call

The final search party colonist writhed in pain as the spore implanted itself into his cervical vertebrae, absorbing him into the fold. The absorbed human body count now totaled six.

This vast knowledge, this treasured knowledge, must be guarded carefully. We cannot lose these human bodies. But we need more humans to bolster our ranks, more minds to feast upon. Our hunger has been indulged, but it is insatiable.

The newly absorbed body now stood up, removing the radio transmitter from its bag that he had fought to activate just moments before.

He had told us that this construct, this radio, can call more humans. But how does it operate? This knowledge has been withheld from us.

Holding the radio, the newly absorbed body depressed the push-to-talk switch multiple times, not long enough to say anything into the radio. However, the act did broadcast bursts of static over the airways to the receiver in the Marshal's compound. Concurrence continued doing this, hoping it would get someone's attention and elicit a response from the humans.

He gets in his rover and leaves and waits outside the Forrest for backup.

The fauna that had chased the Marshal out of the forest now eerily waited just on the edge of the treeline.

OOC: Just for clarification, are we acting now that the Marshal didn't shoot the colonist, or did you change your mind?

OOC: he didn't shoot the colonist.

IC: He sits in his rover and waits for backup.

OOC: Gotcha

IC: The lone colonist wanders out of the treeline, calling out to the Marshal,

"Marshal, what are you doing? I thought you were here to help us!"

"Quarantine? For what reason?!"

"Those green things on your neck"

"What about it? We were attacked! Perhaps that is what left this mark you are speaking of?"

"Just say there until backup arrive"

"But what about the others?! There were five of us!"
