Jayne and Jack go down one transformed corridor after another. Every time, the floor crawls with serpentine forms and the walls stuck with absent crewmen gagging out more.
Jayne and Jack free the crewmen and tell them to go to the infirmary.
After covering the full of Destiny, Jack and Jayne have taken in account all the crew that were on the ship with exception to one.
Needy.
A human shadow confronts the pair as they're about to leave. It is indeed the naked boy whore, no longer naked, but covered in a seething crawling uniform of alien serpents with only his glazed face peeking through.
"Needy?" Jack asks.
"They want me to tell you something..." the boy whore stutters, "They want me to tell you that you're all going to die..."

*In the infirmary*
Safe: Flechette, see if you can give our illustrious Dr. Franken.....er..Dr. Me some "incentive" (read:use the sharp pointy ends of your new knives) to see if he can come up with a way of fighting these things before they get the rest of the crew.
I spoke to Jazaf, he's ok..for now. Serenity and Ami are holed up and Soul...well I don't rightly know where he is. Needy should be ok in the vents...I hope.
I'm gonna head to the engine room to see if I can come up with something to at least slow it down. Then go back and see if I can help Jack and Jayne.
Give me a ring if you come up with anything at all that might help.

Okay, Dr. Me. Whatever you say. I'll pour this on my..oops! I dropped it. Clumsy me! Oh, darn, it's spilled all over the floor! Oh well, guess I'll just use neosporin like everybody else. Thanks for making the effort, though!
*leaves quickly.*

As soon as Serenity closes the door behind her, there is an explosion. Then out of the room stumbles TheRealMe, coughing smoke and blackened like a "blown up" Warner Brothers cartoon character.
"Ahem... Yes, on second thought, try the neosporin."

"Do they have acid for blood?" Flechette asks
*SAfe looks at Flechette blankly*
Well if they have that funky acid blood thing going on I was thinking we could fill some tranq darts with ammonia or something base like and neutralize the blood and kill em that way...."

There is much girly screaming down the hall. Kind of sounds like a high pitched version of Jayne and Jack.
Gunfire.
Screaming.
More gunfire.
More screaming.
Twist, scrub, rinse, repeat.

Flechette, that's a GREAT idea! Do you think you could whip up a batch of Baking soda pills, and a liquid concotion I could hook up to a hose?
*Hears gunfire and screams in the distance*
Ummm....I'll be right back. Gotta give Jack a hand.
*Throws a bucket of water at a still smoking Dr. Me, extinguishing the one burning hair on the top of his head*
*Heads down the corridor full tilt*

*Safe skids into the corridor where the screaming is coming from, taking in the scene before him. Feeling's of disgust and anger flood over him.*
*Somehow he's managed to come-up behind the Needy thingy. There in front of him is the source of the screaming and gunfire....Jack and Jayne huddled on the floor with their arms over their heads firing blindly at the ceiling, while the Needy thingy glowers over them, unscathed.*
*Safe pulls out what looks like a cross between a crossbow and a cordless drill. He aims carefully and fires. A small claw attached to a long wire fire out and attaches to the back of the Needy-thingys head. Safe hits a switch on the weapon and electricity lights up Needy. IT drops to its knees?*
*Safe runs by, grabs Jack and Jayne by the collars and drags them away, headed to the Infirmary*

Jayne shuts the infirmary door firmly while ripping off his clothes and vest. Slithering aliens appear out of the clothes only to be stamped out by frightened crew members.
Jack, too, pulls out the slithering aliens from his clothes and partially disrobes to do it.
More angry stamping by Jayne.
"I think---" Jack stammers out exhausted, "I think we're going to need either bigger guns or more bullets---"
TRM comes up, "Nice shorts."
Jack grabs TRM, "Please tell me you've got the cure for those serpents thingies."
"Plop-plop, fizz-fizz," TRM replies, "At least for the crew that ya'll found..."
"You've gotta be kidding me."
TRM pulls out some Alka-Seltzer tablets, "Alien infestation?"

After supplying jack with a treatment for what ails him, TheRealMe returns to look at his recently scorched self in the mirror.
With his hair and beard burned off, he now somewhat resembles "Curly" from the Three Stooges.
Not a look he was going for.
TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!
