[ WP ] The rise and fall of our empire .

`` How are the specimens showing up? Have we successfully infected the planet yet?'' 
 
 `` Well that's the weird thing?'' My second in command tells me. 
 
 `` What do you mean?'' I say wanting to desperately get off this planet. 
 
 `` The bacteria we have put here and the viruses we injected into the animals of this planet have been reacting strangely.'' 
 
 `` They always do. Whats so different with these?'' 
 
 `` They are showing signs of intellect.'' 
 
 I stop the test I'm doing and as the centrifuge slows down I try to realize what he just said. 
 
 `` They are getting smarter?'' 
 
 `` In a way. In most of the tests our team have recorded the bacteria seam to leave the specimen right away or they remain in non vital organs constantly letting the animal adapt.'' 
 
 I could not believe what I was hearing. I knew something was bad about this planet. 
 
 `` So the animals are slowly adapting to our infections weather we want them to or not.'' 
 
 `` Afaid so. Somthing on this planet can change the way bacteria act'' 
 
 A chilling thought runs up my spine and I pray to God it is not true. 
 
 `` How... How did the animals behave shortly after you injected them.'' 
 
 `` Ummm... Rather calm for just being injected with RZ-88'' 
 
 I quickly run to the computer terminal and start to access the Interstellar net work. I am worrying now that what I fear is coming to fruition. 
 
 `` Why are you so worried Captain?'' 
 
 `` Where is your home system Aries?'' 
 
 `` The Republican of The Zin. Why do you need to know that? If their is a threat that requires quarantine you should tell me.'' 
 
 I check the terminal and find out all of my team members come from the Republican of Zin. Cheap, reliable, smart, and all having RZ-88 running through their systems. I of course got Vaccinated for it and any other diseases I would run into but they would not need treatment for RZ-88 Because they already have an Immunity to it. 
 
 I try to calmly tell Aries to get me a Sample from on of the animals outside. I he realized the situation he might panic like I am now. He brings it to me and after leaving to talk to his crew I examine it. 
 
 RZ-88 Is their, in the animal as expected, but their is something attached to it. I examine closer and find the source of the Parasite is the brain. I bring up some research on brain cells and the brain stem and find that the Parasitic attachment is a brain cell and is some how remotely connected to the brain. It appears that once the cell has used it host it multiplies like a typical virus but in this case it is a brain cell, increasing the brains potential. 
 
 `` Aries could you come here?'' I say Rather scared at what I discovered. 
 
 `` Yes, Do we need to quarantine?'' 
 
 `` No'' Not yet `` I need a sample of your blood.'' 
 
 `` Oh, well if I'm infected with something should we quarantine?'' 
 
 `` NO. We do not need to quarantine just give me some of your blood It is important.'' 
 
 `` Well that is unfortunate because I already called it in?'' 
 
 `` What are you talking about?'' 
 
 `` The quarantine call. It was n't hard to figure out your calling signal so I made a call to stop all your metal birds in the sky? Now if you would kindly release me from the table you can live.'' 
 
 I look at the animal on the table and at the research notes I have. 
 
 `` The more brain capacity, The more intelligent you get?'' 
 
 `` You figured it out. We just never had the right materials to duplicate our brain cells but every animal on this planet has that ability. Now if you could release me from the table'' 
 
 `` But I need to contact some one about this tell them of your ability.'' 
 
 `` They will find out soon enough. Now If you do n't release me now you will face dire consequences.'' 
 
 I reach for the emergency gun under the table and in one swift motion I pull it out and shoot the animal in the head hoping to kill the source of it. Aries runs up behind me with a syringe and tries to jam it into my neck. I avoid him and run out the door only to be greeted with the entire team with blood shot eyes running at me. Their was little I could do and they soon over powered me and injected me with the vial of the calming fluid. 
 
 `` You are now with us. Be our host, Be our guest, Be our friend.'' 
 
 Those where the last concise words before my fall.
