  - MTF Soldier 5: I will be when I hunt down whatever did this.

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Don't make any rash decisions Five.

  Five doesn't respond

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Fine, have it your way.

  The entire squad then suddenly gets the feeling they don't belong here

  - MTF Soldier 1: Anyone else feel that?

  - MTF Soldier 3: Yeah. What's doing that? I feel like a trespasser in my own body.

  - MTF Soldier 4: Look at the blood!

  The blood is receding down the hallway

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Command, there is a disturbance down here. We all feel like we're trespassing on holy land and the blood is draining down the facility.

  - Command: How much?

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: All of it.

  - Command: One of you collect a sample and bring it back. The rest of you follow the blood.

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Okay. You think you got it Five?

  - MTF Soldier 5: But I...

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Good, now get on it.

  Soldier 5 scoops a vial of the blood and corks it.

  - MTF Zeta 9 Captain: Got it Command. Head out Five.

  - MTF Soldier 5: See you later, guys. Fuck up whatever that thing is.

  The squad waves as Five leaves, walking back up to the light.
