"No wait, please, I can explain!"

WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT

"We'll see about that now," said a monotone voice.

"Please, look, it's not what I meant to do, honest to god, really!"

"I need that disk, Melissa. You know that it's the only way we can end this. Give me the disk, and it will all go away. Trust me," said the monotone voice. "I can protect you. I can end this."

Uncertainly, Melissa handed the disk over to the man with the monotone voice. In that brief lapse of time, a physical connection was formed between the two. Unbeknown to the man's, Melissa had one too, and was not prepared.

Somehow, it had hidden itself within entirely, its energy levels were not detected. Something was wrong, the man's knew the instant Melissa's disk came in contact with the man's hand. The man's was caught off guard.

LISTEN OBEY ME NOW

It was like a wave of force that suddenly overcame the being within the man. Instantly, the man collapsed.

Melissa stood, datadisk in hand. The man was paralyzed, his paralyzed as well. The being sent out shockwaves of protest, but within the barrier that Melissa's had formed, nothing could be done.

I

AM

STRONGER

NOW

Unable to do anything, the man's simply stared through the man's eyes, unable to do anything. Melissa and her's walked away, with the man's realizing that his host was in fact, dead. There was no chance it would survive in the exposure.

Desperate, it tried again to penetrate the barrier around it and contact the others.

Something had gone horribly wrong.
