[QUOTE="talien, post: 5021730, member: 3285"] [b]No Pain, No Gain: Part 4 – Finding Fiona[/b] They rushed Archive to a special facility arranged by Majestic-12. He was stored in a hyperbaric chamber filled with a chemical solution that slowed the progress of the creeping slime. Archive, wearing an oxygen mask, had placed himself into a healing trance. He sat cross-legged like some new age monk as the technology swirled about him to keep him alive. It was a testament to Archive's altered physiology that the slime conversion hadn't completely consumed him. Jim-Bean and Hammer looked on glumly. Archive had been in the trance for twenty four hours. Jim-Bean's cistron beeped. "The STREETSWEEPER team is finished," he read aloud. "They found a body in the rubble that they think might be Noelle Rand." Jim-Bean left out the part where Sprague bitched them out for destroying the place before the STREETSWEEPER team arrived, but it was probably for the best. "They think? They're not sure?" asked Hammer. Jim-Bean shook his head. "They're having difficulty determining the gender." Hammer frowned. He was having second thoughts about blowing the place up as well. "Because of the blast?" "Because there's chromosomal damage. The DNA matches up but the gender is all wrong. It's almost as if she was a hermaphrodite." Hammer blinked. "Was she?" "I don't think so. There's no medical records indicating such. She always identified herself as female." "But she was a bodybuilder," said Hammer. A light went off in Jim-Bean's head. "Who needs steroids when you can use Mother's Milk?" "Who knows what injecting that stuff would do to you?" asked Hammer. "Speaking of genetic material, the caretaker, that thing in the water, and those little beasts were all related." Hammer shuddered. "I didn't need to know that." It was Hammer's turn for his cistron to beep. The caller was identified as Fiona. He picked it up. Fiona was on the other end of the line, sobbing. "The bitch is going to call Her in the park during the concert!” she screamed. "Fiona? What's going on? Where are you?" Fiona started singing and shouting. “I'm evil, I'm evil, like my parents said I would be. I know something horrible, something you need to know. Meet me at this warehouse address… " She hung up. Hammer frowned at his cistron as an address came through. "Something's very wrong with Fiona." "If I know Fiona, she went after Dexter herself." Jim-Bean sighed. "If that even was Fiona. You realize of course that this is a trap." Hammer ignored him. "Check Archive out. I'll meet you out front." He stomped out of the room. Jim-Bean shook his head. "He's really falling hard for her."
