"I did it in case I need help. Plus with your wing damaged and these parasites around who knows if they could gang up on you. They seem intelligent surprisingly." He says snarkly. The carrier forms move past a camera and Kaknar noticed this. "We seem to *Hhhhhk* have some of them going to our friends. They seem slower then usual*Hhhhhk*." He says with his same Raspy voice. "Alis. It's me." Baru says.

"Baru?"Alis said surprised. When she had seen the group on her omnitool, thanks to some modification and hacking by the geth that was currently in Alis's suit, she hadn't noticed the other Quarian was Baru. She sighed hsaking her head. "I'll still need you to go through decontamination."She said. "Garrus, we've got... uh... something headed your way. They don't look danger ous, but ya never know."The trooper said over the comms. "Alright, we'll keep our eyes open."Garrus said. "Just go in through the deconatmination. It'll make things go by quicker."Garrus said.

"Ok." He says coughing again this time some blood came out. "Let's be quick if those things are coming." Baru says going through the decontamination. Getting into the room he moved to the suit and grabbed it. "Alis could you help me please?" He asks.

"Don't see why you'd need help putting your suit on."She replied heading over to Baru. After a few minutes several of the other troopers went through the decontamination. "Think Kaknar and Pllo are doing okay?"Palpus asked. "Hope so."Threskgar replied.

"I am not exactly in my healthiest state." Baru says with a smirk. As the group of them walk around and he get's into a new suit he comes out breathing normally. Out side of the containment cell they could hear some sort of squishy moving sound. Two of the three carrier forms had walked to the containment are the other was not known about it's whereabouts.

"Why the hell let thosee things waddle around? What'll they do, wiggle us to death?"One of the troopers asked looking out the viewing port at the carrier. "Maybe it's just a disguise and it's some kind of monster under all that blubber?"Threskgar offered.

The carrier form looked over at the group. They had no recognizable features of there previous form. Outside the ship the infection forms swarmed around the ships doors. The other carrier form that was walking around moved into the hanger. I used it's weak and frail arms and pushed the button opening the doors. This allowed the hundreds of infection forms and several carrier forms crawling into the ship at a rushed speed. In the bridge the Volus noticed on the monitors the swarms of flood.

"*Hhhhhk* Great."Kaknar said. "*Hhhhhk* Several of the creatures got onto the ship.*Hhhhhhk*"Kaknar announced. "Great."Garrus sighed. "Hurry up and grab any supplies we might need so we can get out of here."Garrus said.

The flood were swarming into the ship. They seemed really desperate to get in and claim this ship for whatever reason. The carrier forms outside the containment room saw the door controls and pushed a button. This opened up the decontamination section which required opening from the other side of the room. They entered it and looked through the thick glass to see the group in the room. With hundreds of fleas and carrier forms entering the ship Garrus and his men would need to evacuate immediately as they would be unable to kill this many flood.

Alis walked over to the entrance. The door to it only opened from inside the room. "So, what do we do about them?"Alis asked. "Kill 'em. What else? Open the door."Threskgar said. He already had a plan. He was a biotic, and had easily mastered the 'biotic charge' ability. Alis nodded. She opened the door and with that Threskgar shot forward at astounding speeds, tearing through the carriers and their infection forms.

The flood swarmed in massive numbers. No matter how many they killed hundreds more seemed to follow. The flood spread out all over the ship. Carrier forms going into the warm compact areas while the infection forms charged the organics within the ship. The door to the bridge was under large attack. Infection forms slammed with such force the door eventually gave in after being weakened by the flood growth in the motors and in the roof above it. The turian soldier in the control room graved his rifle and opened fire. The Volus moved his omni tool over the ships computers and took a copy of the data. The location of the captain and the scans of the planets interior. "Pllo we are going to need to fight our way back to the others." The Turian says tossing a grenade. "We need to get off this ship."

Pllo nodded, launching a large green sphere into the infection forms. The infeciton forms it touched slowly began to wither and die. The ball detonated after a few moments, blasting a hole in the infection forms that soon filled as more poured into the room. Pllo kept launchign biotic abilities at the swarm as the turian opened fire, shooting as many of the ifnection forms as he could. Pllo followed, shooting as many of the infection forms as they could. It wasn't long before the two groups met back up. "*HhhhK* I assume you have an escape plan?"Kaknar asked Garrus. "Uh... Kinda. We keep fighting until we're out."Garrus said.

"There is the garbage shoot near hear. It is forty meters down that hall then one floor down" Baru says staying inside the group. "Thats our best bet. We can open the garbage release and leave through that exit." The turian fired off killing a few more infection forms. The group began to run in the direction they needed to go when they got to the stairs they saw the stair way had three combat forms. They leaped at them and managed to tackle down a Krogan as infection forms got inside him. He fell down the stairs two levels so they could hurry to avoid it.

Garrus took advantage of the Krogan still being on the ground, and chopped its legs off with his energy sword as they headed down the stairs, eventually coming up to the garbage shoot. "Alright, everyone go."Garrus ordered, shooting at the combat forms. Pllo did something to one of the flood ocmbat forms with his biotics. The combat form slowly weakened as it moved.

As the Turian hit the button the doors to the garbage shoot opened. "Get in their. We need to do an airlock system and open the exterior doors from here." The Turian soldier who was with Pllo moved everyone into the garbage air lock. The weakened combat form used all it's strength to leap at him. Tackling him he brought up his pistol and fired at it. Killing it. Slamming his hand on the button the door between him and the others shut. "When I open this run." He says as the door finally closes. Pressing the button the back door opened allowing everyone out. They came out the bag of the ship and into the infested jungle. The Turian soldier fired into the flood before being victim to the infection forms and he was infected.

Pllo got off the ship followed by Kaknar. He looked back into the ship to see the turian become infected as the door closed again. "Okay, now what?"Threskgar asked.

"We go *Hhhhhk* after the captain. If he is alive he could give us more information on this world." Kaknar says activating his omni tool and a 3D model of the area and it's catacombs come up. "The captain is here." He says pointing to the blinking light.

"Alright. We'll get the captain and then we'll leave."Garrus said. "Once we're off world I'll alert Harbinger and the Citadel and they'll set up a quarantine on this world."Garrus said, heading towards teh catacombs.

In the catacombs the tunnels were thin and small. They would be able to sneak in with a group of three people but any more would cause too much attention. The tunnels were filled with spores and the flood infestation all over the ground.

Elsewhere in the Galaxy the Polyanthus came out of FTL infront of the citadel. The Frigate cruised in through the arms, with the pilot requesting a docking zone. After a few moments the ship stopped, docking at the Citadel. Soon Riisart exited the ship, with Flare behind him. Thankfully Riisart hadn't come across any of the others Flare had met while on the ship. "Okay, we'll need to grab an elevator to the presidium. That's where Brazz's office is."Riisart said, heading off.
