The Strange Plant

Dean was currently running for his life. He had no idea how many times he had tripped over his own two legs. But he knew he had to escape if he wanted his life. He saw. He saw the light of an A.I. He did not come prepared to fight any A.I. He was only out on a stroll to see if he could get lucky and find some wandering chick. But they were tricked! The damn A.I. tricked him! "What kind of shit is that!? How can an A.I. use a girl's voice and leave the scent of a woman so strong that even Dog was tricked!"

He didn't understand at all. He wanted to know if what he was going through was real or if he had done too many noro, and now his mind was completely fucked! As he raced down the hall, he did not care for all the purple mold or spores that were getting all over his clothes and exposed arms as he crashed into the wall covered in the purple plant.

"Why are you running!?" Eve's voice came from behind him with a hint of amusement in it. She actually found how this big burly man was running away as if she was some kind of monster was amusing. And Lilly, who was running behind her, almost choked on air hearing Eve's shout. 'He's running because he has an A.I. with a gun chasing after him! If I was not friends with you, I would run for my life too!'

Of course, Lilly did not say her thoughts out loud as she did her best to keep up. She could tell Eve was also pacing herself so that she was not running too fast. Mainly because Eve knew there was only one exit from this place, and that was to climb the cable. So she was actually not worried that Dean would get away!

Dean had no time to think about these things as he burst through the hall to the elevator shaft, and only then did he stop at the pile of mummified corpses. "Fuck!" He knew this was not going to end well. The sound of footsteps could also be heard behind him, not just one set but two! This caused Dean to turn and look, to find one human and one A.I. in the hallway. "Fucking traitoress bitch!"

When Dean saw Lilly, he knew now they had been double tricked! He looked at Lilly, whose face was hidden under her mask, and narrowed his eyes as he raised his gun. Since he was going to die, then he will fucking take the traitor with him! "Fucking slut, fucking a fucking robot! Die!"

Dean raised his gun and fired down the hall at Lilly. The bullets cut through the air aiming for Lilly's body, only to suddenly be blocked by Eve who was standing in front of Lilly. "Sorry, bastard, but if you want to get to my friend, then you will need to destroy me first. So fuck off and die, okay?"

Eve raised her gun and fired at Dean, right at his hands, shooting his gun right out of it. She wanted to make sure there were no accidents before filling Dean's chest with bullets. She then walked over to Dean as his body fell to the floor. He laid motionless on the ground, his eyes wide open showing his unwillingness. But it was already too late. Eve picked up his gun and searched his body for ammo before turning to Lilly. "Come, let's go! We can search for more chemicals another time."

"Mm.." Lilly nodded and quickly ran over to Eve, making sure to keep a good distance from Dean's body. Eve had her climb onto her back before she began her ascent up the cable.

Neither Eve, Lilly, or Aiu, noticed the strange happenings with the purple mold or spores on Dean's clothing, migrating to the wounds on his body. Slowly all the purple on his clothes and skin disappeared, and the wounds on his body began to disappear. If one were to look at the spores or mold under a microscope, they would see that these spores or mold were, in fact, tiny nano-bio machines. Their intelligence was not all that high, but they had a single command that most would think was too dangerous to even consider. 'Find a host and take them over before replicating.'

The reason why Aiu and Eve did not detect this fact was because they were in a dormant state, and only when they came into contact with liquid like blood did they become active again. Eve also had no idea what implications this would have in the future.

A few hours later, Dean's eyes fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked in somewhat of a daze, but if one were to look closely, they would see bits of purple floating across his eyes. He laid there looking up at the ceiling, replaying what had just happened in mind. "Fucking bitch!" He finally yelled out loud. He quickly checked his body and felt relieved when he saw that he was not harmed. It didn't even click in his mind that after being shot so many times that he should have been hurt. For some reason, he got on his feet and stumbled down the hall until he reached the area with the purple plant. He cut his hand open, allowing his blood to drip on the plant.

At this moment in time, all his actions were as if he was in some kind of daze. He did not seem to mind as the purple plant entered his body through the cut. The hallway full of the purple plant disappeared, leaving no trace of it behind. Dean's eyes now had many more splotches of purple floating around in them as he turned around and walked towards the exit. Only when he got back to the corpses did he come back out of his daze. "I need to get the fuck out of here!"

He had a strong feeling that something was off with the place. But when he got to the elevator and saw there was no more cable, he couldn't help but curse yet again. "Fuck!" With no other choice, he used the thin edge that was only a few centimeters wide to edge his way to the beam protruding out of the side to use that to climb up. With great effort, he was finally able to reach the first floor. But his troubles were only getting worse as he ran outside to see that not only was the loader gone but his truck too!

"Fucking shit! Slut! Cunt! I will fucking kill the both of them!"
