Tara B: Well I didn't want to put anything else on your plate. I was going to try and do it until this whole murder thing calms down so as to not overload you. I didn't really think it would strain me that much.

*Susan gets up too*
*Tara A sighs.
Gym. Sara locks up with her, fingers interlocked as she presses her forehead against Susan's.*
Sara *growling*: Come on!
Tara B: Sorry.
***
*Susan tries to force her down while growling*
Tara A: Is there anything you can do about the infection?
Kenar: As I said it's spread so far that if it goes any further...
We need to remove it now. *Gives Tara B a grave look.
Gym. Sara holds her own as the two wrestle fiercely.*
Tara B: I don't know that sounds dangerous.
***
*Susan shoves her back and tackles her down*
Tara A: Tara, we've done it before... *She looks at her shoulder grimly.
Gym. Sara quickly tries to kick her off.*
Sara: Get off!
Tara B: I'm pretty sure this will end badly...
***
*Susan pins her down*
*Sara uses all her strength to kick Susan off, getting up and circling, panting.*
Sara *panting*: Damn, you're tough...
Tara B: fine you can try if you really must...
***
Susan: I do my best... *panting*
Kenar: Are you sure? You realise what we're considering?
*Gym. Sara puts up a guard, but loosely as she tries to save her energy.*
Sara *panting, smiling*: You can give up now...
Tara B: I can always get a prosthetic right? Or maybe we'll get lucky and get abducted by an otherworldly being for a quest across the stars again. *sad smile*
***
Susan: So can you... *tries to take her down*
Kenar: There's a Dalosian genetic technique. I can take a sample of your genetic code and synthesise a replacement arm.
Are you certain you want to go through with this?
*Gym. Sara grunts as she holds her own, taking Susan down to their knees before trying to take the advantage.*
Tara B: Yeah I'm sure.
***
*Susan loses ground the shoves back*
Kenar: Okay. I'll prepare for surgery.
*Gym. Sara pants as she gets into a crouch, circling Susan.*
Sara *panting, smiling*: Why do all our matches end like this?
*Tara B sighs and looks nervous*
***
Susan: Because neither of us wants to give up...?
*Tara A comforts her.
Gym.*
Sara *panting*: Oh yeah...
You're here for a few days, right? *Still circling, crouched.*
Tara B: Thanks.
***
Susan: Yeah most likely.
Sara: What do you say we call this a draw for now and settle it tomorrow with a real fight? Y'know, the kind with punching and kicking?
*Sickbay. A nurse starts prepping Tara B for surgery. Tara A waits nearby, comforting Tara B telepathically.*
Susan: Okay I can agree to that.
***
*Tara B seems to be mostly calm now however the parasite is giving off strange readings. *
Kenar: Strange... Is it interfering with any of the equipment?
Nurse: Not according to diagnostics...
Kenar: Alright. Let's proceed, to be safe.
*They anaesthetise Tara B and begin amputating the arm.*
*Once they begin the parasite goes into overdrive its tendrils springing from her skin and spreading fast across her arm. She screams and opens her eyes the sclera pitch black. She starts break off of the bed. Tara A can sense that she is still asleep its almost as if the parasite is defending itself.*
*Tara A quickly uses her TK to restrain Tara B and the parasite.*
Tara A: Doc, now! It's not her, it's the parasite!
*Tara B screams again and fires a blue blast of energy at Tara A from her arm trying to stop her.*
*Tara A quickly runs in and cuts the arm off with a twilight blade, throwing the limb clear and powering up a twilight blast.*
*Tara B screams in pain as blue tendrils sprout from the stump and rush out and form a replacement hand. They seem almost like roots. Tara B punches her and tries to escape and fires another energy blast.*
*The Energy blast hits Tara A, sending her flying into a bulkhead.*
*Tara B stops running and looks worried. If Tara A is still conscious she can tell for some reason the parasite is worried it hurt her.*
*Tara A's skin is cracked across her face, leaking white twilight energy.*
*The parasite seems ashamed of what it did and tosses a med kit at a doctor then points at Tara A then grabs the severed arm and starts running again*
*An hour later. Tara and Tara A are searching everywhere for Tara B.*
*The parasites energy readings are coming from a cave far off from the school.*
Foehammer: alright let's start trying to work on this before I just start hitting buttons or shooting it.
He unfolds a small computer as he connects it to the console and starts working with it again.
*The remaining bits of information begin translating. Apparently this planet has a lot more orbital defenses than just the dampening field but for some reason the dampening field was the only one programmed to activate upon Soa's release or as the console describes it "When the Infernal One breaks free from his Eternal Prison".*
*She finds Tara B trying to hide in the back of the cave where its darkest. This fails however as she is still glowing blue on multiple parts of her body. She seems to have reattached the arm but its not perfect. She cowers away at Tara A's approach*
Parasite: I don't know how... She can feel it too? *Its having trouble putting its thoughts into words* She sleeps but listens...?
Tara A: Yes. Your growth is hurting her.
Parasite: She understands... the pain? She wanted me gone... thought I was hurting her... But no...
Tara A: I don't understand...
Parasiite: I'm good... No hurt her... Make her stronger..? *The parasite believes causing pain but hasn't been causing permanent damage. eventually it would become too ingrained in her body to separate it from her but she would become stronger than before.*

Captain: Where's our escort?

Captain: Get ready, just in case we need to beam the Prime Minister out of here.
*Valkyrie. Karen knocks on the doorway.*
Karen: Aunt Laura?
Parasite: *almost with two voices* But is that really living? *for some reason Tara M's memories of her creation are drilled into Tara A'sighs head. Specifically the part where she started as an infected arm that was cut off and was eventually grown into a new person by persons unknown*

*The Rook damages all the shuttles beyond simple repair and damages the bay too. The Archer takes out the transporter system and the leader of them continues heading for Sam damaging various consoles as he passes through the ship. Security manages to damage the Rook but he quickly dispatches them. He however leaves some blood behind on a door*
Tara A: This isn't the first time this has happened. We can grow you a new host from the arm.
*Pegasus Prime.*
Official: Well then, evidently you made a favourable impression, because her captain requested you specifically.
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: I was wondering if you could... You know... Train me? You know, teach me how to fight...?
*Resolute. Troopers form a wall in front of the leader, barraging him with phaser fire in two ranks, one crouched in front of the second. A second wall forms behind him, flanking him.*
Squad leader: Keep him suppressed!
*Meanwhile, Sam is placed in an Escape Pod with her Aides and two troopers, the hatch sealed and blocked by a forcefield.*
Sam: What's happening?
Trooper: Our people have one of the hostiles trapped, ma'am. The pod is just a precaution.
Sam: Then why did you open the outer hatch?
*The trooper doesn't answer, turning his head to focus on his helmet comms.*
Parasite: I don't want host. I want me.

Jari: I don't know why... *looks down*

Laura: Sure. But might be a good idea to use my holodeck for training.

*The leader puts all his energy into blocking and a portal opens up and the Archer appears behind one of the lines and fires his arrows into them. One of the arrows misses though and hits the leaders sword shattering a piece of it.*
Leader: Dammit! *He slashes a wave of energy cleaving through the other group. The Archer looks like he feels guilty* Just go get the target... *Waves him off*
*The Archer heads to Sam*
Tara A: That might be a problem. As far as we can tell, you can't survive without a host organism, and you keeping control of Tara is completely off the table. *She tries to contact Tara B telepathically.*
*Pegasus Prime.*
Official: That makes two of us. He'll be here in 5-to-6 days to pick you up. If I were you, I'd take this as an opportunity for a fresh start.
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: That's fine.
*Resolute. As the Archer approaches the escape pod, the squad standing guard forming another firing line while one of them jettisons the pod.*

*The Archer silently pantomimeso cursing and gathers the other two up and they leave the ship. The sword shard and blood remains*
Tara A: No.
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: Hey, Mom forced me to take P-Sec self-defence classes before I could stay on the Ziyal rather than boarding school on Mari. How bad can it be?
Parasite: Why not?
***
Laura: It's training your body to its absolutely limit and then some. Either you come out of it a broken wreck or you come out an Olympian. They do that to spartan recruits since your body has to be at its absolute peak to best take to the enhancements.
Tara A: Because then it wouldn't be Tara anymore.
*Valkyrie.*
Karen: Look, I'm not asking to be a military commando! I just...
*She sighs.*
Every fight I've been in lately against someone I didn't know has nearly gotten me killed. Me and Susan almost got sold into slavery because I wasn't good enough. I can't let her down again... I can't let anyone down again...
*She looks at her aunt pathetically.*
Parasite: But it would be. And more.
***
Laura: We'll if you just want combat training that's fine. I can give you the skills. But still you might want to work out a bit.
Comments
*The parasites energy readings are coming from a cave far off from the school.*
*The remaining bits of information begin translating. Apparently this planet has a lot more orbital defenses than just the dampening field but for some reason the dampening field was the only one programmed to activate upon Soa's release or as the console describes it "When the Infernal One breaks free from his Eternal Prison".*

*She finds Tara B trying to hide in the back of the cave where its darkest. This fails however as she is still glowing blue on multiple parts of her body. She seems to have reattached the arm but its not perfect. She cowers away at Tara A's approach*
