I could deal with an xp penalty and even an increase in Infamy. It was a reputation loss, but I could make that up with a few quests. What I couldn’t afford was the 15,000 cu penalty. I transferred most of my cu’s out to real world currency. So, I selected the “No” option. The screen blinked out of sight.

“I can logout, no problem.”

“I’m telling you, Aaron, I can’t logout. The button is there, but it’s gray.”

Crap! That meant he had already started to turn. I wasn’t ready for that sort of thing. Colin and I had been gaming buddies for over six years.

“What does it mean, Aaron? Geez. I’m gonna turn into one of those things. Aren’t I?” Tears built in Colin’s eyes. “You gotta fix me up, Schmidt. Get it out of me.”

“I’m trying. Hold still.”

Colin was kicking frantically. I looked to Norax and JT for answers. They both looked as lost as I felt. It was all new territory. We had gamed together for quite a while, but we had never run into anything like that. It was like the game wasn’t so much a game anymore.

“Well? Ideas?” I asked.

Norax shook his head. “I don’t know, man. Look, I can’t change into one of those things. Are we all gonna get stuck in here like the people playing scientists?”

“No. I’ll make sure of it. JT, where are we on the maps?”

“I think I have something. I was able to link the two skills together to try to triangulate pings.”

Finally, some good news, “Let’s move.”

“Sir, what about Colin?” Schmidt asked.

“If he can walk, he’ll pull rear with you and Norax. If he can’t, we can make some kind of dolly from stuff in the office.” In fact, an actual dolly would be amazing. Somehow, I doubted that level of luck was possible.

We formed into a tight diamond formation. Norax pulled up the rear, while JT led the way. She was our backup Scout, so it was only logical that she lead the way. We worked our way slowly down the hallway, stopping briefly before each office door to make sure the hider didn’t catch us with our pants down. JT and I stood to either side of the doors and scanned for movement or vibrations or whatever her system was supposed to scan for. JT was a computer programmer in the outside, so I trusted whatever idea she cooked up.

We made it to the end of the first hallway without incident. Colin groaned quite a bit. I took a second to glance back at him. The skin around his wound had started to turn the same rubbery blue-black color as the one my unit had faced in the other hall. That reminded me to take a look at Norax. His shoulder was nearly healed. The best I could figure, his Rohviann physiology was preventing the same kind of infection. Maybe the things had to infect through the stomach or some other organ.

We stopped at the double doors to the second hallway.
