Jack looks down at his busted guitar and back up at Safe, "I'm glad we could make it."
Safe winks, "No problem."
"You sure that that's all you want to bring, Handyman?" Jayne jeers at the baseball bat.
Safe taps the deck like a base plate, "Better believe it."
"Stupid," Jayne shrugs, "Alright, I'll take point. Shot anything that moves."
"What about the crew?" Jack swings his shotgun around causing Safe to duck.
Jayne smiles a nasty smile, "We're gonna start in the lower decks. I've found some evidence that they're making some kind of nest."
Jack frowns, "Nest?"
"Lower decks?" Safe asks.
Jayne shakes his head, "Follow me."
As soon as the team starts moving Destiny starts looking very different. The air is moist and organic secretions cover the corridors. It looks like a cross between a serpent and an insect.
"What the hell?" Safe asks.
"Oddly enough this seems familiar," Jack points his flashlight equipped shotgun down the darker reaches of the corridor, "We should beware of little blond girls named Carrie Hehn."
Something skitters across the ceiling above the troop.
"I don't even know where we are," Flechette tells them, "I think it's the main cargo bay..."
Something catches Jack's eye. The others follow him and stop at a humanoid lump attached to the side of the corridor.
"Who is that?" Safe asks.
"I think its one of the crew that we never hear from or about," Jack says, "It's like some kind of super glue resin..."
The human gasps for breath, "Kill me."
"Why?" Jack asks, "Other than stuck you seem fine."
As soon as Jack says that, the victim gags and something begins coming out of his throat. Jack runs behind the bat wielding Safe. Flechette makes a face. Jayne cocks his gun.
Safe hides behind Jack. Shoving ensues.
Flechette and Jayne watch as the creature comes out of the victims mouth, long, thick and serpentine...
As soon as the creature frees itself, Jayne tries to shot it.
He misses and it escapes. The victim continues to gag afterwards.
Flechette retches, "I think I'm going back to the mess."
Both Jack and Safe stop in the middle of the shoving catching the last of the creature as it flees deeper into Destiny.
They both make faces.
"Ew..."

"Um..." Safe says, "I think I need a bigger bat."
Jayne frees the victim with strong kicks, "Let's get that one to the infirmary," he hauls the victim to his feet, "We'd better get a move on before he coughs up another one of those..." he frowns, "Things."
Jack starts leading back to the infirmary, "TRM should be able to help him..."
"Hey Sunshine," Jayne calls to him, "Where're you going?"
"To the infirmary?" Jack says.
"Flechette and Safe can go back," Jayne slaps a strong hand on Jack, "We gots to go hunting."
"Um..." Jack says, "I'm the Chief Nurse. It says so in my signature."
"Lately, I've been reading Defender."
"I suppose we should find Needy..." Jack says, "He could be in trouble."
"Yeah," Jayne says unconvincingly, "He could be in trouble."

Amy squints at Serenity's soiled scarf with the trained eye of a laundry appraiser.
"Well, if I just use a bit of this... it will look like new again." Scrubbing and soaking and starching...
"Oh, it looks shiny! The colors are more vibrant and pristine than before!" exclaims Serenity. "Hold up, I'm sounding like a commercial."
"Can I hide in your bunk with you while the crew kills Buffy-like bugs?" Amy asks in exchange for the washing. "We can have a knitting party!"
(Thanks for including me, Serenity :)

'Well, I'll.....defend the bridge from any bug-like thing.' Jazaf scoops up a fly swatter as he heads to the bridge.
'I just hope they don't come any bigger then 3 inches.'

Elsewhere, a naked Boy Whore walks the corridors of Destiny. His body is blackened due to the air ducts that haven't been cleaned since the dawn of time. Needy moves slowly with his mouth gaping open. His face is blank. His body is now host to the parasitic organism he went after and it is using him to accomplish it's purposes.
"Man, I can't catch a break" Needy thinks to himself.
Unable to speak or to act independently now that the parasite has taken over, he only can control his thoughts. He has never used his brain so much in his life
Needy. Male Companion a.k.a. First Boy Whore of Destiny

Sure Amy! Let's go knit. I've got to finish TRM's hat anyway!
*They go hide in Serenity's bunk, which is clean and bug-free.*
IRL: Oh, I am sooo mad at the cats in this house. Last night my cat (accidentally) scratched my foot open. I have this huge deep scratch that really really hurts. It bled all over the place. And then, just a few minutes ago, my grandmother's psycho cat, who for some reason likes to chew on my hair when it's wet, lept from the couch to my back, trying to get at my hair that I've just washed, slipped, and then scratched her way down my back to the floor. I may have to kill them all.....
*goes to find neosporin*

TheRealMe, in his white lab coat, looks up from his work in the Laboratory. He holds forth a beaker containing some vile-smelling bubbling concoction.
"Oh, you've been scratched, Serenity? Here, apply some of this to the wounds. Or drink it. No... Apply it to the wounds."
TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!
