Sarah Thomas and Michael Kowalski are here at the University, trying to rest to heal some of the physical and mental damage when they get the call from the new agents.

"I'm not in the best of shape," says Mike, "but I'll do what I can. I want revenge on these things more than anyone. I want a weapon this time, though." He is reluctant to trust Sarah after her earlier craziness, but he knows he has to work with her. There is nobody else, and maybe her madness will be useful.

Sarah asks one of the hospital staff for directions to the dorm room.

"It is a short walk across the campus, past the other academic buildings and the student center. Its hard to miss, the brick eyesore. You'd normally need a keycard linked to the dorm but lots of kids just knock on the door and the poor bastards who live next to it let them in" says Dr. Beller.

"Can I get a gun somewhere?" asks Mike. "I don't care to tangle with one of those things unarmed again, not after what happened last time."

Sarah nods and heads off across the campus in the direction indicated, her chainsaw, smattered with dried blood, dangling by her side. When she reaches the dorm building she gives the door a heavy shove in case it's been left ajar.

Sarah isn't so lucky, the door is locked. She can hear music from inside.

Dr. Beller hands Mike a scalpel. "I'm afraid that's all I have, the campus security should at least have a taser and pepper spray, I can call the officer on duty."

"Thanks," says Mike, taking the scalpel, which is better than nothing. "Have the officer meet us there." He hurries after Sarah.

Mike catches up to Sarah. The door is locked, but you could probably force the doors apart.

Sarah revs her chainsaw and attempts to cut the door from its hinges.
"Stand back, Mike," she mutters.

While Mike thinks there are better ways to force the doors open, he's not going to argue with her. He stays back.

The glass shatters on contact with the chainsaw, and one half of the glass door is now gone. The agents can easily enter and exit. Someone is yelling, "What was that?" from a nearby room.

Sarah runs down the corridor to the room given and (assuming she finds it) hammers on the door with her fist.

Mike hurries after Sarah, though he stays out of chainsaw range in case of wild swings.

Room 515 is on the fifth floor of the dorm. The staircase has a few students who are too shocked at Sarah's bloody chainsaw to do anything. The fifth floor is a sight to behold. A Caligulaesque party is taking place. Men take shots off of naked women, there are people screwing all around. The smell of burning tobacco and weed is in the air, and some people are doing lines. The music is deafening, all surrounding. Most of the kids who see Sarah panic and run, except those who are too inebriated or unconscious. There is pandemonium, some of the people on the ground are getting trampled as all the intoxicated students try to flee into the other unsuspecting party goers who couldn't hear the screams over the music. At least one person looks absolutely mangled, a naked body with limbs bent in freakish unnatural ways, his face blank. Blood is all on the floor.

Even with all this most people can't hear over that deafening club music, so no one has left the rooms. The targets should still be inside.

OOC:   San Check: Violence 0/1d3 for Mike, 1/1d6 for Sarah (extra for causing the panic)

"I haven't been to college in a long time," says Mike, "but it was nothing like this when I did." He examines the body to see if there are any signs of infection.

OOC,Sanity roll (current level 63) for seeing the corpse: [dice]0[/dice]

There's no yellow liquid or any signs of a seeder organ in his throat.

"They all fled from here in a hurry. In fact they couldn't get out fast enough," says Sarah as she turns of the stereo.
She gestures towards some of the revellers passed out drunk in a heap. "Some of them are probably infected, we'd better finish them off to make sure.".

Sarah readies her chainsaw.

"Don't do that!" says Mike quickly. "It's easy enough to check. Someone who's infected would have yellow liquid, and you'd be able to see the seeder in their throats. Look at the dead guy. He doesn't have any traces of infection. You can't just carve everyone up or...you'll run out of fuel!"

Sarah eyes Mike suspiciously.
"Ok", she says, eventually.

She tries the handle of the first of the rooms.

The door would normally lock automatically, but the students have filled the hole with tissue so the door never latches. The couple in the common room scream at the sight of Sarah, the man brandishes a nearby lamp while the woman simply covers herself. They're screaming bloody murder, and the door suddenly flings open to room 515. It swung out toward Sarah so she and Mike cannot see inside, but someone is on the way out of the room.

"Who's there?" calls Mike.

"Please, I'm Tilda and my friend Melody is here, please just let us leave, I don't know whats going on we're just a couple of kids"

There is another sound in the background, like someone gagging.

"Nobody's going anywhere," says Mike. "Something's wrong with Chad in there, and we need to help him. Now back up into the room. My friend here is a little high-strung, and you don't want to get on her bad side."

"Noth-nothing's wrong. Just come in and see, please just keep her away from us"

"Hey, I can't control her," says Mike. "If I were you, I'd back well away from the door."

Sarah glares impatiently at the girls to move aside.

The agents still can't see into the room unless they move further into the hall past the door, or grab the door and open it the rest of the way.

Mike glances at Sarah. "Be ready for anything," he whispers. Then he pulls the door open the rest of the way, his scalpel behind his back in his free hand.

Through the doorway you can see one of the girls, Tilda Hastings, standing there nude near the wall. She rushes at Mike when she sees him, the four pronged worm erupting out of her face. She tries to jab her head into Mike but he steps out of the way.

A man is bent over at the other side of the room, he seems to be gagging and choking and coughing up a yellow liquid.

Mike knows what to expect. While he's terrified, his instincts operate perfectly. No sooner has he dodged the Seeder than he has grabbed hold of it and pulled it out of Tilda's mouth while keeping it at bay.

Tilda falls to the ground unconscious. Melody comes barreling out of the room, seeder coming from her mouth. She attempts to stab Sarah, but trips and falls face first into the ground.

Mike kills the seeder he holds effortlessly and then restrains Melody from behind. "Grab that thing out of her mouth!" he calls to Sarah.

Sarah gropes for the squirming creature

Melody attempts to escape Mike's grasp, but he has a firm hold on her.

Mike maintains his hold. "Keep trying!" he calls. "Pull it out and then kill it!"

Sarah grabs for the creature again but if anything she's just choking the girl while trying to help her.

Melody suddenly switches tactics. Instead of trying to escape, she attempts to turn so she is facing Mike but he has too strong a hold.

"Again!" calls Mike, maintaining his hold.

Sarah continues to bang ineffectually on the back of Melody's head

Sarah slipped in the yellow blood from the dead seeder worm and falls head first next to Melody. She has only a moment to think before Melody's eyes roll back and the whole worm comes squirming out of her with a surprising agility, but the engorged monstrosity has trouble fitting its whole bulk in quickly.

The campus security guard arrives on the scene. He is a large and out of breath man, wielding a taser. He sees the half of the worm still sticking out of Sarah and seems terrified.

"Quick, grab that thing!" calls Mike to the guard as he lunges for the seeder, but he is a little too slow. "Get it out of her!"

OOC,Unarmed Combat roll (80% skill) trying to grab the seeder: [dice]0[/dice]

Finally Sarah manages to get a firm grasp on the creature

Sarah manages to grab the back end of the squirming worm and pin the creature down. It struggles but isn't strong enough to get free. The campus security guard looks frightened and his taser at the ready.

"What happened here, what the hell is that, did you do this to them, why did you break in with a chainsaw?" the guard is speaking rapidly, full of questions. He is freaking out. Mike's phone begins to ring, it's Rosa.

"Calm down," says Mike, "everything's under control now." He answers the phone and is glad to hear Rosa's voice. "Two parasites have been eliminated, but there's someone in the room who may need help." He peeks into the dorm room.

Chad is laying there unconscious, but you can see movement inside his throat.

"One of them must be in his throat!" calls Mike. He hurries over to Chad and applies the Heimlich maneuver to try to dislodge it.

Mike squeezes with all his might.
