Everyone had been a bit dubious when I had first told them of our discovery. Maybe they had thought I went crazy, maybe they thought I was just overly enthused with Jyra’s cure efforts, but after confirming with the scientists that I wasn’t blowing smoke up their butts, a manic sort of excitement settled over the ship.

Our preparation turned from a futile funeral procession walking towards the inevitable, to a frantic rush towards and end that many of us had only dreamed of. In less than a week, Jyra and Bajol had come up with a line of vaccines to test on the samples they had gathered of the virus. Many had been thrown out in this stage, and several reworked, but only a few days later they had six different formulas that were ready to be tested on a live subject.

Which was me, apparently.

They debated bringing a rabid kodadt on board, but ultimately, we all decided that it was far too great a risk. Unfortunately, that meant I was the only one on board with a live version of the virus inside of me. Even the immune kodadt had dead strain floating around in their immune systems, which could compromise the integrity of the formula.

And so, not for the first time, I found myself strapped to a table, waiting for a medical procedure that sounded quite uncomfortable. But hey, what could possibly go wrong with having multiple cures put into me that could potentially be lethal?

Ugh, sarcasm was not as comforting in my own head as it was spoken aloud.

“Are you sure you’re ready?” Janix asked, squeezing my hand.

“Yup.” I said. “We’ve got a lot of samples to test and not a whole lot of time.”

“Technically, we have no idea how much time we have.” Viys’k corrected from where she was sitting on a bed, eating an apple. “For all we know, Genesis could pop up in five minutes, or five weeks. It really just depends on its schedule and we have no idea what that is.”

“Comforting,” I shot back. “Remind me to keep you around if I need a pep talk.”

“My pleasure, it’s what I live for.”

“I’m sure.”

“Don’t listen to her,” Janix said, gently pulling my face towards him. “She’s just cranky because she hasn’t gotten to steal anything in a few months.”

“It goes against my nature.” She objected before taking another bite of her fruit.

“You’ve got this,” The mooreerie continued. “We’re going to save the galaxy, and we can finally kick back and enjoy ourselves for once.”

“I don’t think I’ve been able to do that since I was a child,” Jyra uttered quietly, putting more sensors on me. “That does sound lovely.”

“Sure, maybe the three of us can go to some sort of beach, get our toes in the sand.”

“I’m not fond of the texture of sand.” Jyra answered. “And it gets everywhere. I find it quite… discomforting.”

“Alright, well somewhere else then. We’ll figure it out. Once we deal with this kodadt problem, and kill that cloudy douche, we’ll have all the time to think about what we want.
