[Dr. Proway and Eric are looking at X-ray scans]
Dr. Proway:
Well, as far as I can tell, it isn't a virus or a bacterial infection. It's nothing you contracted at the lab. Old tight-ass Shilling won't have to worry about his insurance rates. And it's not a tumor.
Eric Norris:
You've told me what it isn't.
Dr. Proway:
As of now, some form of as-yet unidentified parasite that is growing inside you at a very rapid rate. It seems to have tapped into the cardiovascular network through thousands of filament-like protrusions that act as conduits. It has also compromised your respiratory system. Like a true parasite in host, it is getting everything it needs to survive from you.
Eric Norris:
Right. Oxygen, blood nutrients.
Dr. Proway:
Mm-hm. It really is grotesque.
Eric Norris:
Yeah.
Dr. Proway:
A monstrosity. But evidently, it has a physiology compatible with yours. Do you have any idea how you could have come in contact with this?
Eric Norris:
No. And to remove it?
Dr. Proway:
Well, that's the bitch, Eric. It has integrated itself so insidiously into your biology that to remove it would cause massive hemorrhaging and instantaneous death.
Eric Norris:
[grimly]
Prognosis?
Dr. Proway:
I've never seen anything like this.
Eric Norris:
Prognosis?
Dr. Proway:
Well, it'd just be a guess. But I think, either way, it will kill you in a very short period of time.
