◆ Life Foundation, Dr. Skirth's Office◆

Dr. Skirth was walking towards her office a few scientist greeting her on the way.

Entering the office she saw a guard and the head of security Treece.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Skirth." Treece said smiling.

"Oh god they know." Pepper said.

Dr. Skirth sighed as she know she was caught.

"The creature and the host are one. Everything was fine. So, why does the human continue to waste away?" Carlton said looking at the test subject with symbiote in him.

"He's saying it like he's not human." Rhodey scoffed.

"I don't know. We've given him enough liquid nutrition to feed an elephant." Dr. Collins said.

"But the organism is unaffected?" Carlton asked

"The Symbiote is thriving. But once again, it's killing the host. It's consuming his organs. Oh, watch this." Dr. Collins said.

Turning on a high-pitched ringing making the test subject trash around screaming in pain.

"That's what happened to Lydia at the MRI." Bruce said.

"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? You're hurting it. Stop it!" Carlton exclaimed

"Sounds in the 4,000 to 6,000 hertz range are very harmful for it." Another scientist said.

"He was stabilizing. What happened?" Carlton asked

"He's approaching acute liver failure." Dr. Collins said

"We're gonna need another host. Such poor design." Carlton said

"Excuse me?" Dr. Collins said.

"Human beings." Carlton said.

Everyone scoffed at that.

"Sorry to interrupt, Thought you'd like some good news." Treece said holding Dr. Skirth by an arm with a guard holding the other.

"Oh god." May whispered.

"I'm sorry" Dr. Skirth said breathing shakily, while Carlton scoffs.

Lydia was seating in a cable car her leg bouncing.

"Hungry!" Lydia's body is suddenly pulled up from the seat.

"Is it the alien speaking?" Steve asked. Lydia nodded.

"Oh, goddamn" Lydia said awkwardly chuckling.

"I'm okay. Don't worry about me. Can I get through, please? Excuse me. Thank you. I'm just gonna stay here, all right? Until the cable car stops." Lydia said getting a few stares.

(BRAKES SQUEAK)

"We're good. All right. Thank you." Lydia said getting off the cable car while people look at her weirdly.

Lydia was at home putting some food in the oven when her phone rang.

"Oh, hey, Anne." Lydia said

"Lydia, hi. How you feeling?" Annie asked
