4 weeks before leaving Twycross

Thanks to the new update I had over Wifi from the city, and the several weeks it has taken to straighten out that was false implanted data and what was real data. The Twycross client data, the exploration data from our nomadic trade travels and the stolen data from Poison. All with cross reference with past internet study and library books. There is clear thoughts of how exactly Kate condition was for this present moment of time.

Having scanned the cocoon state Kate has been in for a while now. I can conclude that this is a total body restart, as if this was the start of the chain events when going through the transformation. When she wakes from this, she will not have intact memories of herself but she will be aware of how to look after herself and have no problems with being able to do trading. It's how she was when she left the library. She lost all her personal motive but still held the will to live in the vague knowledge of things. I have spent every evening talking at her - this maybe some hope that not everything will be forgotten before she is awakened.

Now that I can think clearer and put information from several different sources better. The parasite triggering of the transformation has stages. Not all of these Stages are of any awareness to the parasite itself most times too. Although poison said it was aware of several phases that leads to a complete conversion. I can see there seems a discrepancy in this. Going by the study research we been doing all this time, there is smaller few stages that make a difference about which way it will branch favouring what mind is the one in control.

Ddc195 to parasites like Poison is a foreign virus. It is in Poison's own data that it assumed that this virus was from human lab work. It assumes that my false readings from the plague doctor hacker was the one whom made Ddc195. It sort of what I thought too. Now that I have moved all fake data into a file away from the real data, Ddc195 had actually originated with the parasites.

It is likely that there wasn't full lies in everything Poison has opened up into telling us. I am still in the judgment of believing it was mostly fabricated to convince Kate for body control but with some likely sections and evidence of truth backing it. There maybe hope that the on coming invasion that is mostly taking over space station cities isn't all bad folks.

This strain of Dd195 is artificial, I know this from how the very precise nature of this viruses replication being only inside cell membranes of the parasites immunity system. If the membranes the parasites were in a burst state, the Ddc195 is not affective to the parasites but also can't be vaccinated for parasite immunity. Ddc195 only present within parasites or water. Symptoms for the worse trigger side affects do not happen unless there is presence 'second brain' is within a parasite. The Ddc195 is not harmful to plants, creatures that are omnivorous and fish. It stays dormant in water and can't be airborne unless sneezed or rain. It does however mass trigger if a second brain is present in the fluid's contact. There has to be something about the second brain that chemically attracts and is attacked by Ddc195.

In terms of understanding the origin of Ddc195, if we are to believe the false data, it was a from a human whom is bent on purification. The fact that underground governments whom are spying through the city networks actively spray in around the cities is also a interesting false data too. If we believe poison's lies about bring a golden age, the Ddc195 is this back stabbing gift from 'higher race' as so claimed tactic to invade a self-conflicted planet. That the parasite's are a way to enslave the lower intelligent planets and have a smoother invasion of the planet itself. Poison claims that previous enslaved planets whom fell from the parasite collar trick are causing a internal conflict within the invasion race - a odd lie to be within the false data. It's all mounting to there being conflict of interest within the invasions and battles of space stations. Parasites and Ddc195 can't be the only things among us. Even in this fake data, there is some things that ring strange for being a lie.

If we share the same levels off technology with the unknown out there. Can't they just vaporise the atmosphere? Why go to the troubles of enslaving a planet in a weird parastie methods?

Kate did consider that the nuclear explosions across the world was to attempt wiping out the parasites. Everyone went underground or up in space. This war with the unknown was seen quiet ahead of the the game.

Another memory that is bothering me. Is a more simple one. One that we met a older version of the kid that hangs around with Franky. The group of survivalist whom we later met at trade staduim. That wasn't a fake memory. We did met someone that day and that conversation was the same. That male was a real person. Yet, maybe there is a false look at them. Maybe they weren't human at all. I can't edit that memory enough to better look at the creature we spoke to.

"Something wrong metal man?" the current patient has been waiting for me to speak up about their predicaments of health. They had been speaking to me while I was multitasking my processing.

"Don't worry about me and your condition isn't anything serious that I could tell. Your child within is doing just find too." Child... the very reason I was in my tangent.

"I haven't told anyone and no one has..." the patient holds themselves, "I don't remember doing anything that would cause me to have a child. But I did vomit the other day, the contain wasn't from my stomach." Pose of asking for a sonography. The ultrasound imaging is showing nothing off other then lacking organs. Well, this looks exactly like how most do inside. I must be seeing the membrane walls. Meaning nt a baby but another parasite case. This is abnormal of a parasite.

"May I scan from you back?" the patient nods softly and turns away. I adjusted so we both see the monitor. I apply th gel to the back area as I say, "Ok, please do not freak out at anything you might see." they take a few breaths then nod. The gentle press of the scanner to the back. I moves around checking her normal organ layout - mostly all intact and not altered by cell configuration. The client is someone whom has been lucky with not having a parasite before and only body mutations by DNA altering. This cleint has somehow allowed an elder parasite in, It has not forced to become host. Going by the looking around of the organs, it is pushing organs out of the way but not removing them. This parasite isn't normal like the others. I seen a lot of slug sized ones. This one is at most has snake sized with its own stolen organs already. The only other extensive case I see sort of like this would be Poison. Looking around for something else, yes. The second brain is missing. So this is a parasite acting on its own learnt behaviors without the control of second brain.

"I do know what is going on. It's not exactly pregnancy's, so forgive that starting educational guess."

"Is it..." there is uncertainty about saying it loudly.

"Yes, this is a elder staged parasite. It grow in someone else and then crawled to in you. I haven't the slightest clue of how and I don't have any right to intrude on private matters. Now, we can remove it if you wish. It hasn't taken any of your organs, just the space of your uterus. I don't know this one's personality to predict it's wishes. I mean to say I don't know if there is good intent or not. I do know that they steal fertility by this method, since parasites do not have the organs for themselves." I turned off the monitor and pass over a cleaning wipes for them to remove the gel. They clean up but were totally lost with their thoughts.

"Steal fertility?" They asked.

"They steal the cells your body produces for offspring, they do this because they don't have that function. Parasites steal what they need, they don't give any benefits back. Although, maybe some could. I have yet to find one whom would."

"Why would you think they could make that choose?"

"There many possibilities out there. Between myself and Doctor Kate, we have checked every single corpse we cross. We have documented many types of mutated folks like you. It's only really now that we been in a lab setting that we been able to put some effort of better understanding things. Add on that we had our own parasite case in Kate that was dealt with." The pause as the patient posed for me to stop talking.

"What was the main cause of death for most folks like me out there?"

"It's quite a list, some of it is complicated even for humans and machines. At best, the largest parasite we have documented is Kate's. Most are small and couldn't survive the host's immune system or were stuck with misfortune during cocooning. It's even not a answer about all of them. At best, we can only make speculations. We find some information and then find something to change that" The stop of myself as I see there care. This client does care about the parasite, "I am sorry but a parasite can't survive outside a host for long durations. Water is one the few ways it could survive, as long as that water isn't contaminated. A large parasite has to be in cocooning if we were to remove it. That or freeze it. Like humans can. They can be revived in melting the ice carefully."

"My clan thinking it best to murder it."

"And Kate would say it still a life. A misunderstood one." I go folding arms again, "We do have to take some samples to research. But we will no dissect anything whom wishes to not be." They looked up with a tilt, "You must understand that we have collected 194. Half were given to the aquatic clan to raising as fish. The ones with personality we have stored and we will be taking them. Hopefully out time off zoo grounds, we will find a solution to release them safely. We only vaccinate them for other diseases. Sort of like stray pets." hand to the chin, "If you understand that concept."

"Capture and release?" She sounded very different about it.

"Well not really that. It's to deadly for them. They wouldn't survive without a host body and all water out there isn't treated the same ways as in here." hand away from the chin, "We are looking at those with personality a chance with a opportunity with something different. They be in protected bodies. They just could solve a robot issue that been something on my mind for a while. My personal experiences with our parasite had been my line of reasoning."

"SO metal man batteries?"

"Yes and no. These guys in spite of being flesh, recharge electrical systems. So your guess of battery isn't bad. It's their properties of transferring information from a flesh brain to a robot that is the help. I have admit, I didn't know flavours until our own parasite pointed that I started actually tasting things like Kates does. My internal data links through the parasite gave me taste. So it's a win win win. The parasite is treated well. We machines get to know what taste, flavours and scent is like. You flesh folks don't have to die from parasitic mutations."

"Huh, that is nice. I really thought you would just remove it and burn them."

"We burn the dead. The savaged minded or broken minded ones are given to the aquatic therapy. The one with traits are held in freezer until we can talk with other machine traders. Kate and myself want peace. It's clear to Kate and me that there is a lot of you creatures whom do care about the well being of parasites. We can't ignore that our own was of help us too. They may not have came from this world. We can accept them among us. As long as they follow the rules, there isn't a problem. We are at this tipping point... the fear. Pure types will fear parasites. Pure types have always fear made folks like me. Pure will fear you too. We all in the same boat, living on the same surface." I turn with writing up the information needed, "You have to come back this evening if you want it removed by surgery. Or you can wait until next summer. It may steal your health the longer its in you, sharing your need of food and drink. It will likely take a few stem cells and the cells needed to have any children and it will take them all the longer in you."

"I understand. It is doing ok?"

"The vomiting contain you were talking about." the client nods.

"Maybe over eating, maybe ill with minor stomach of its own or due to the age of it. It is a elder, one the oldest I have witnessed. It may be ready to have children of its own. I can't tell without seeing it properly. It would be standard care for it when removed from you."

"I will be back later tonight for it to be removed. You going to help it then." I gave nod and they put clothes back on. Clean a few more missed spots, "Thank you." they walked out. A last few internal notes made. I sit with processing the data I do need to file about this clients history. Hoverdrone2 with spider came in. Does the clean up and putting away of the equipment. I sit frozen with clearing up the background data. My focus with looking at the computer, the date it stated it was.

"Last few weeks of packing up the clinic. 195 parasites that need housing." The straighten up the joints and proof reading the data entry before submission into the medical network.

This clients information was quickly being read through by another doctor on our medical sever. Someone further in the park that hasn't met us yet. I knew that we weren't the only qualified Doctor around here. We aren't making the enclosure visits around here. They have high approval of out data and work. I had a few messages back and forth with this person about parasite anatomy - so they are our ally against the second brain collars.

'Elder?' a new message from them.

'Parasites age and grow between cocooning. the older they are, the more organs they have inside of themselves and have personalities of their own will. A fact we choose to not tell anyone whom isn't part of the parasite research. Although several clients do care for the parasites well being and know about the personalities the parasites have. We hide this fact from public severs like the dome city networks, away from pure humans. It maybe known fact to us in zoo. It isn't anywhere else. Best we keep it that way until we have better information in how to best live together safely.'

The doc on message was taking a long time to read this message. I stood with moving the ultra-scanner to storage. I made some preparations for the next on timetable. I was seated back beside the computer waiting for the next to come in.

"So what exactly is the plan with the parasites you didn't hand over to my clinic?" This doc works within the aqutic area then.

"They are currently frozen in status. They will be carefully out of that status when we make conversations with a accepting host body. You know that we leave over summer and that we trade around many. We hope with the network of machines we trade with. We can have a three way win. Based off Kate's and my experiences, these older parasites with self-sustained organs can proved something that I can't. Not as battery if that is your worry." They sit down, a white stained lab coat. Mostly human but wearing a water filter system. Gills then air. We have seen each other before. This is just the first time in conversation directly like this, "Just as I told the client whom just left. Parasites are able to transfer sensual information, something that I would normally be unable to understand. Before we had a parasite, I knew chemicals were sweet or sour based on Kate's interpretations or general facts. The parasite gave me that chance of know those flavour before knowing the chemical compound make-up. Something like that would impress machines into being willing hosts. Folks like you don't have to be leeched of life. The parasites will be well treated. It's in a machines code to not harm a living flesh being. Parasites are living flesh beings. humans are living flesh. So, there isn't a machine difference."

"You two stick by with being honest with us. You lay the information raw." I nod and now understood that this is my next cleint and there isn't much of an issue here. Just here for conversation.

"We safely remove the second brain problems before considering passing them on to your clinic or freezing them in mine. This way Ddc195 doesn't trigger as badly. I still have more research to make about why the second brain. How is it being remote access. From what source is it remote command from. The chemical difference it has. The problems of it to everyone. Parasite or host minds all suffer because of second brain. The source of second brain is also still unknown." I stood with offering anything in term of food or drink. they turn it down, "We don't experiment on innocent folks. This community relies on every individual. Breaking that by murder... it wouldn't be acceptable for Kate. I see it as counter productive if we did murder folks against their will."

"How is she? I heard she in cocoon." I considered it a while if a second opinion would be helpful or not. I can stop them from hurting her if I need to.

"She's this way. If you have any medical opinions of how best to help her, it be appreated. I am still data scrambling at the moment. A lot of preparations to leave soon." They follow around to the van, and with some wait for the machine work to mover her for viewing, "She is mind active but mute. She does continue controlling hoverdone2 and the spider." I consider how must we should say and since the visitor will see... there isn't a point of hiding things, "Our parasite was nicknamed Poison. It had been lying to both of us. It don't have a second brain but it still acted on some sort of command from somewhere else. It was hacking my data and attempting to erase me. It was doing something to her too. It erased human DNA from her and replaced it with DNA we can't work out the origin from. That damage is no longer reversible." this visitor doc steps back in shock, "Poison was finally dealt with between me and her. Poison is no longer active. All that is left is stolen skills and information we took from it. Kate is now using the parasite body to somewhat fix her life back. She can't die peacefully without something worse to happen. The nanotechnology in us is reliant of her. I am the nanotech system program as well as my own self. She dies, I die. The nanotech if hacked will cause devastation which was why poison had to be sorted. We can't have a stranger like that."

"Well, now I understand you break throughs of parasite research." calming down just enough. Lowered to into the coffin, once the lid lifted, "This is... stage 1."

"I thought that too. I don't know if it is. I assume so but until she active again... I don't know. I don't know if she is able to understand me." They nod with looking as much strain as possible. I kneel next with hovering a hand to direct nanotech to open the top. The doc watched in horror but with a lot of watching me, "I am the nanotech system, I can read her fluid levels constantly and brain wavelengths. If she had a heart, I would know her oxygen levels and pulse. But this body can't rely on gases to breath. Like fish but not. Liquid based breathing. Not the oxygen within water."

"That's interesting to know." I directed to things I can state about her, talking of the organs I do know she is using. I explained the conditions of each donor organ and the stages it been through to be used by her. I go into speculation of things I see as structures but not really in any knowledge of what they are. The visiting doc gives a few different possibilities for me to consider. We did a fluid test then and there to watch the liquid pathing. Evenutally having to close the cocoon up and put her back, "I feel better informed from this." they state, "You and Her have caught big attention from the higher order in London. Not only is the research you gave them been a help to them to save lives there. You have also became a middle man for trade market there to exchange with dome city. Dome city higher folks like you for that same reason. Indepandant as you maybe - your influnce is far reaching. They are whom scrambled your data, in fear of things. But since you know now... I bet things are changing. You going to be approached by many whom don't seem like freinds. I hope you consider talk before shooting." they took out a evelope of papers, "You be getting more of this stuff before you leave. But this stuff is for just you and her. From london directly."

"Spy network now. Interesting." I take the papers and tuck them locked into the van with her. I leave it to the van to properly scan through the information and place the physical copies in the hidden areas, "You're input about her has been of great help to me." triple sure the van is secure before return to the clinic. The spider drone is already consulting the next with gestures. The visiting Doc stands watching from the door frame of her work. I step to the side out of the way but in the room. I will only step in to minor things while she's the one working. I notice that the patient submission was already finished and sent.

"You really have been a big help, thanks metal spider."

"It's actually Doctor Kate whom is the spider. Her physicals flesh body in currently recovering." I explained to the client.

"Wow, that really cool." the client pat the spider softly, "Thank you." leaving.

"A bladder infection?" I asked her.

"Pardon?" the visitor doctor in aquatic gear was perplexed. I directed to the computer, "Wow, this is extremely detailed. More then yours Jackle."

"She is the professional, I am her data copy. I am not perfect in the practice. I would be a qualified nurse or studying practitioner. She already went to university, field studies for several years, combat medic surgeon and I think you would qualify as a Vet too."

'No, I am not perfect just more experienced. I may have professional level of study but every client is a curveball for me.' she had sent as a message on the computer, 'Fix the argument reality settings.'

Most of the time passed with all three of us having folks come in and out. By the evening, I got to work on the settings. The start of stocking up on all trades and inventory. Several visits with new people due to the research that can be done. New modules being given to me as reward and a view of trust with our new network of unknown London connections. A lot of last minute work to full van upgrading due to this.
