The Stain

"He's losing...!"

"Give him..."

"Move him to the medical...!"

"Cut open his suit..."


Ken manages to save Walt from being a monster chow, but Walt is still uncouncious from the explosion of his Genoace. The medical team is carting him as soon as he arrives.


"Holy shit! What is that..."


But as soon as they cut open his pilot suit...



Eyes.

Many eyes are staring from the flesh of Walt's left arm. Staring at the medical team, staring at the walls, staring at everything. The eyes are darting around jerkily in their sockets, blinking, looking left and right, up and down.

Needless to say, Walt moves straight to quarantine.

You might, or might not see all of these happening, since everything happens right on the hallways.

...

A few days later, you can see him sitting in his medical gown at Alhambra's medical bay cafeteria, staring intently at a cup of coffee, his body full of bandages. His left arm is wrapped like a mummy.

You might notice that other patients and staffs are trying to sit far away from him, leaving him a hole in the middle of a crowd.

Greet him?

Apparently not. I almost thought that I project a force field that reject human being now. Which, actually would be pretty convenient, if you think about it. Except when you want to, say, pay something at the cashier. It'd be pretty inconvenient if the cashier keep getting pushed away.

with only the power to push others away

I imagine after a while they'd just let you walk out with whatever you wanted.

On second thought, yeah, that might be convenient too. I think now I must tell the researchers that it doesn't work that way, since you manages to sit here.

*Walt's moves his left arm, and an eye blinks out from a bit of loose bandage.*

...Is it supposed to do that?

[dolorous_sensei]

Gah! Sorry that you have to see that. I didn't mean to stare at you, with any of my eyes, head wise or other wise...

*Walt covers it back*

I don't know if it's supposed to do that. Nobody knows what they're supposed to be doing. As far as we know, they're not connected to anything. As far as the white coats know, they're just weird tumours.

They've been been trying to remove them, but they keep coming back...

What if...They're secret portals planted by an alien queen that wants to spy on your nude form in your most private moments! Taking in every inch of flesh with her eyes, lusting from another dimension entirely!


You would think that, wouldn't you Mistress...

[dolorous_sensei]

I know! That's why I cover them in bandages over and over! But I can feel them watching, even underneath all those bandages, even when the researchers told me they're not connected to anything!
