Nick all but barged into Sara's lab. It was either her or Bowen and he was harder to find on zero notice.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:13 pm**

No. No. No.

The jacket seemed to be quite adamant about expressing its feelings on this course of action.

No.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:21 pm**

Shut it you.

"Sara! You here?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:24 pm**

"Yeah, come in."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:30 pm**

He entered without delay.

"Good. I've got a big problem."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:31 pm**

Tentacles grabbed the edge of the doorframe, trying to prevent Nick from coming in. They were weak and easy to break free of though.

No...please? No. Please. No.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:35 pm**

"Certainly looks like it." she quirks an eyebrow.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:38 pm**

It's... scared?

"Apparently that blob from yesterday latched onto me without me noticing, and I really really hope this doesn't mean what I think it means."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:39 pm**

Scared. Yes. No. Please.

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:40 pm**

"Did you get a chunk of Will on you somehow?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:41 pm**

"It's talking to my brain, so unless Will's telepathic now..."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:47 pm**

"What is it saying?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:09 pm**

"It's scared. It's vocabulary has all of four words, but 'No. Please. No.' when walking in here is a pretty clear message."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:41 pm**

"So it's sentient."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:45 pm**

"Unfortunately not enough to tell me anything useful."

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:52 pm**

"Does it understand you? Can you tell it I'm not going to hurt it?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:57 pm**

"It seems to. I'll try."

Hey... err... goo thing. She's not going to try to hurt you. The nice lady just wants to make sure you aren't hurting me.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:52 am**

No.

Pain. Fear. Laboratories and doctors. Cages. Nick found himself assaulted by a montage of bad feelings.

Please?

Shame. Frustration.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 9:35 am**

Nick reeled a little from the onslaught.

"...Jesus.... Those Moloch guys really did a number on it. No wonder this room freaks it out."

Can she test me then?

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 11:16 am**

Suspicion. Nick would get the feeling that it was being a bit protective of him.

...Yes.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 11:56 am**

"I'm not really a doctor, but let me call Will, maybe he can talk to it?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:49 pm**

"It's worth a shot."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:52 pm**

"Maybe he can let it know I won't hurt it." she says before calling Will's cellphone.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:54 pm**

"And that you won't hurt me either. But it agreed to samples from me anyway, if those are needed."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:55 pm**

"I'll be there in five to ten minutes."
____________

((Five to ten minutes later))

"I'm here. What's up?" Will said, walking in.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:58 pm**

"Nick found a distant cousin of yours of some sort."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:59 pm**

"...za?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:19 pm**

Cousin? The thing felt like it was confused, No. No cousins.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:21 pm**

"Remember the blob creature?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:33 pm**

"Yeah -- so, you've been, what, symbioted? Tell me what you know."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:52 pm**

"I woke up wearing a jacket made of goo that is talking directly to my brain. It's afraid of scientists from being relentlessly experimented on and it's apparently not holding a grudge over yesterday."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 2:56 pm**

"I figured you might be able to convince it I won't hurt it."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 3:12 pm**

"Well, I guess I'll see what I can do? I mean, if it's sentient, maybe I can convince it you're the good guys."

"Um...hey there?" Will said, poking at the jacket.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 4:26 pm**

The jacket hisses at Will.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 5:27 pm**

"Woah! Woah there, little buddy, no one's going to hurt you. Least of all me."

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 5:33 pm**

An image flashes through Nick's mind of the goo being electrocuted in an alleyway, howling in pain as Nick and Will watch.

Doubt.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 7:09 pm**

"Will, stop," Nick suddenly said.

I'm sorry. We thought you were trying to hurt us.

Posted: **Thu Sep 12, 2013 8:29 pm**

"Right-o.

Well, technically, it WAS trying to hurt us, but maybe it was just scared?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 13, 2013 2:57 am**

Scared, yes. Sorry, yes.

Fear. Trapped. Separation. Pain. Weakness.

Sorry.

Posted: **Fri Sep 13, 2013 10:00 am**

"Okay I'm feeling really sorry for this thing now. And pissed at these Moloch guys."
