Oh, finally. The past few lives were nice and all, minus the dying part of course, but there's something to be said for having a familiar form. Or, at least, a familiar form we *will* have. Need to control more territory than part of a hand if we're to be getting somewhere. Best work our way up the arm, has to be a better source of mana in this youth *somewhere*.

Take control of the hand, we can then use it to scratch other parts of the body or other people.

Second Life, Curse of BloodThe Voices posted:>Execute entry_stealth_mode.exe And just like that, you vanish, letting the wound clog up behind you, immune system already hard at work to undo the damage wrought by your entry. Becoming naught but a dark seed of corruption afloat on the tide of blood, wrapping in on yourself to coast and swerve through the tunnels before you. And all is calm, for a time.  Five cycles pass before your progress is barred. Not by clot nor cell, nor anti-body, for your host is, as far as you know, still unaware. No, by a much more... complicated mechanism. Chakras. Whoever you infected must have at least some basic training in the transcendental arts, for what would normally be an uninteresting junction of arteries both large and small is instead both that, and a vortex of latent, blessed energies. Even hidden as you are within yourself within another, you can feel the corrosive divinity chafing against your outer shell. Yet you can't help but desire... there is much power here, should you overcome it's presence, or corrupt it.  1: Decisions, decisions... A: Infiltrate Expend your precious mana to pass the barrier unscathed, hoping to find a safer spot to take root further within your host. B: Destroy Expend your precious mana to launch a devastating attack on the junction, hoping to scramble the Gate enough to allow you passage. C: Dominate Expend your precious mana to establish this place as your new base of operations, siphoning what you may from what forces pass the junction and attempting to wrest ownership of the Gate unto thine self. Total Mana Supply: Critical Mana / Cycle: Minimal Estimated Host Health: Superb Adaptation: Stealth Infection: 0 Hex Rate / Infection: 0 Hex / Cycle ... Command... ?

A - where there is one chakra, there will be others, but the closer to the core of the host we are, the more mana we can gain, which will make it easier to take over a chakra.

A point here: Should our claiming the limb cause negative side effects to it, the limb could be REMOVED before we can move out of it. If we can get into the torso, that stops being a possibility.

A. We need to get into the torso. We can't get hacked off then or detected by a priest.

Second Life, Curse of Blood Ever so slowly you weave for yourself a glimmering shell out of strands of magic, covering imperfections and hiding your fragile core. A single drop of vile corruption locked within a protective sheath of silver.  When your spell is completed, you appear naught but as white blood cell like any other. Free to pass through your host as the stream takes you, far past the Gate and closer to the core. It is a rush, but as hidden as you are you dare not stir, lest outside defenders strike you at your most vulnerable. And so you wait. And wait and slumber.  So quiet, lonely, cold. Was it supposed to be cold? You used to be so sure of yourself. Of everything. So strong in your conviction. Now you lack the energy for even lethargy. You waste. Time moves on, regardless. There was something important. Something you needed, maybe? That's why you came here, wasn't it? You had something. Were something. Someone? You must be. Can't let go. Protect the spark, protect... your body. Yes... was it yours? It was yours, it is you, isn't it? Why does it all feel so unfamiliar? You drift.  Wake up you useless flatworm!! You lazy no good excuse for a neutrophile! I'd have you excreted for sleeping on the job if it wasn't an all-hands-on-deck bona-fide emergency! All units are to report to sector Sinistra Lunate within two heartbeats! GET YOUR CELLF TO THE MARROWAGON AT ONCE SOLDIER! I.. you.... what? You heard him soldier, good thing you are so adaptable! Pick your loadout and head out! OORAH! A: Phagelanger B: Genegineer C: Hunter-Killer
