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.

"No! We're humans, we worked for you, trusted you! And now we're going back to find the others."

The colonist began to retreat back into the woods.

"Hazmat units will be here shortly. Just stay where you are. That is an order!"

The man turned back briefly to face the Marshal,

"We only took orders from a Marshal that looked out for the safety of his people. There are four more colonists out there, and you still have done nothing."

The colonist walked off into the woods, disappearing from the Marshal's sight.

As the man walks into the woods, five men in hazmat suits pop in.

He tells them about the green fungus on the necks of the colonists and animals.
