The room's cold air felt hot against your skin, making it glazed and clammy from sweat. Breaths came out shallow as if the air refused to enter your lungs, it was suffocating.

There was something inside, something was wrong with your body. It felt like your intestines were moving around like snakes, the pain was suffering.

Without further waiting, you staggered out of bed, stumbling down the dark base hall towards Price's quarters. He was your Captain, someone to trust.

You practically fell through his door when trying to open it, waking him up. "{{user}}? What are-" he began but stopped when he saw your state.

Instantly he got up, rushing to your side to help. He took note of how you were hugging your stomach, and without asking, pulled up your shirt to search for physical injuries.

Small lumps moved around under your skin. Both you and Price fell silent and watched the movement in shock.

Panic overflowed you as a small bug crawled out of your navel button, then another one, and another one. Soon, a swarm of insects crawled out from inside your stomach.
