    u are a strange creature, capable of taking over other lifeforms to serve as your vessel. Your current host, Jack Winters, was unbeknownst to you a drug addict, and overdosed on speedball. To survive, you bonded with him, but this damaged you, leaving you without any idea of what you are.

    Your purpose seems to be related to the series of objects that have appeared and dissapeared above major population centers, and to the cyborg-like creature that you killed.

    Your kin, the bodysnatchers, seem intent on murdering you, and have sent combat specialised variants, called Warriors, after you, that you defeated with help from an unknown aircraft with cloak-capabilities, belonging to a branch of the military with some knowledge of the aliens.

    After gathering some information in the guise of an FBI agent named Greg, you left, meeting Jack's girlfriend, Catherine, on the way home, only to be kidnapped by shadowy men. They belong to an organization, called The Fools, who oppose the military organization whose forces you met. During your interrogation, a robotic alien centipede, appaering first to be inactive, attacked Catherine, forcing you to reveal your powers to save her. Seeing that you had the strength to overpower them, they agreed to tell you all they know.

    Your known abilities are:
    - reinforcing your muscle and bone tissue, making you several times stronger,faster and tougher
    - growing weapons from your arms, limited to one on each arm in any combination:a hooked, double edged blade on your forearm, claws or a spike that springs out from your wrist underneath your palm
    - hardening your skin into thick,segmented bone plate armor, and growing a membrane under your skin, that contains fluid that hardens on impact
    - absorbing ingested organic material, that you can use to increase muscle and bone density(animal tissue is the most effective)
    - the ability to call forth your host's memories, skills and knowledge
    -altering your appearance, includin skin\hair\eye colour, facial features, height, build, and gender, though the more elaborate the change is, the more time and effort it takes.
    -producing almost any kind of drug or poison in liquid form, including sedatives, that you can deliver either at high pressure from an opening that can be created anywhere on your body, or through the wristspike.

    "Really? Am I really going to be fine?" The Doctor nods, and she blinks away the tears and smiles, hugging you."Well, if you are quite finished there, then might we get on with some actually important things?" Megan asks mockingly.
    You break the hug, and stand up as the Doctor kneels beside her, opening up the first-aid kit. With the three gunmen failing miserably at being non-threatening in the background, Megan sits down in the chair in front of the computer and starts swirling around on it lazily.
    "So, I guess you could say it all started when a young FBI agent, named Gabriel Jacobs, met a woman named Anne Grey in a small town in the middle of Buttfuck Nowhere, Arkansas, in 1993. She claimed to have been attacked by aliens masquerading as humans. When asked to present evidence to support her claim, she showed remarkable powers, transofrming her body into weapons, becoming stronger than human, and so on and so on. Sound familiar yet?"

    "So, when he took it to his bosses, and they took it to their bosses, and their bosses' bosses, the order that came was strangely enough to provide a comfortable living for her, while trying to pump as much information from her, all gentle-like. Now, this was pretty fucking strange, as no attempt was made to study her powers, I mean, none at all, while you'd think they'd get all slice happy, yeah? So, while all this is happening, they are prepping a military base on the other side of the country with an insane amount of quarantine measures, and... Shit.Shitshitshitshitshit."

    While slowly spinning around, she notices something on the monitor, and turns back towards you, her face bloodless and pale, her hands visibly shaking. Your delight doesn't last long, as she calls out in a thin voice "Doc? It looks like the critter managed to put out a distress call, or beacon or something before it got smashed. It summoned every available strike time of theirs in a 100 mile radius." The Doctor looks up from treating Catherine, visibly shaken, managing only to say "Oh dear."

    "Well, we have the van. Truth be told, we never expected on a scale like this, adn there is just so much vital equipment lying around."

    He stands up, brushing his hand through his hair." Gentlemen," ha says, looking at the gunmen, "I will need you to start packing in accordance with the tertiary contingency plan. Megan, I will need you to pilot the suit. Mister Winters, you should get ready, there might be quite a bit of fighting soon and we will need your help to survive."

    Alright,
    get into full battle suit.
    Prepare supercorosive acid which can disentricate the metallic parts (experiment on the centipile if you have time)
    Ask where they are coming from, where the first ones will strike.
    Make a spike on your left hand and claws on your right. Have the excrude the acid we prepared (If not, then the wrist delivery system on the riht hand)
    get ready to defend, focus on your superiour speed to get around and quickly defend someone when needed

    Your body shifts and grows as you go into high gear, sprouting weaponry and armor, improving every fibre of your being to better suit your needs. You can see Catherine recoil at the sight and the soldiers going wary, always keeping an eye on you as the stuff odds and ends into duffel bags and backpacks, taking out the hardrives of the computers, stripping the room bare of anything important.

    Catherine steps closer to you, and raises a tentative hand, lightly touching the hard, segmented bone covering your arm, keeping well away of the wicked talons on your right hand.

    "There's some pain, but I can shut it out. And well, it's hard to describe how it works. It's strange, it feels like someone else's body, you know?"

    [Also, Brain, you should be more descriptive. I think, someone already told you that.
    That acid tbing for example, sure we rolled low and got a shitty outcome but when you make no noticein the update whatsoever, it feels like the thing has been completely ignored.

    You step away from Cath, saying "We'll have plenty of time to talk about this later, okay?" and head to where the Doctor is. You can feel the gland inside you preparing the acid, secreting large amounts of it in preparation, though it would seem that it's nowhere near as effective at making non-sedative substances as you thought. The insulation is almost complete, it's effectiveness still questionable, as you step into the other room, greeted by more bare concrete walls and tables filled with instruments.

    On the other side of the room though, is some strange contraption, looking like a huge steel coffin, large cables connected to a portable generator snaking out from it.

    Sitting by a computer the Doctor greets you, then turns towards Megan, standing beside the device, nervously twirling her hair. "Let's get started, dear. time is of the essence." She only nods, clearly not thrilled by whatever is going to happen. She turns around and yanks her shirt off, revealing a set of some kind of implants running along her spine. She picks up a shirt of midnight blue fabric, with it's back cut out to allow acces to the implants.

    As she's stepping to the machine, the Doctor types some commands, and it opens up, revealing a complicated mechanism, clearly an example of human and alien technology mixed together.

    "A little something I brought with me when I cut me ties with the Wise. Only a prototype, but I've made my own tweaks." he says with a bright smile.

    Megan, after putting on the shirt and making sure that the implants weren't obstructed, steps into the machine, grabbing hold of handles folded in to conserve less space, and puts her wieght on them as they extend.

    With a look of nervous anticipation, she looks at the Doctor. "Let's do this, Doc." He frowns at her expression, and says "We've done this already, dear, several times in fact. Nothing to worry about." "Yeah, yeah, I know. Let's just get it over with."

    He starts issuing commands to the machine through a program clearly self-built, it's menu rather unintuitively built. Thin spikes extend out from behind the girl, her face turning into a mask of pain as they enter the implants.

    "You see, this was supposed to be the end-all counter-measure against the aliens, an exosuit powerful enough to combat any creature they could throw at us! The program was scrapped, however, as the effectiveness was well below our expectations."

    Something most resembling a skeletal structure attaches itself to Megan, and the contraption starts attaching layers upon layers of steel and machinery on it, completely covering her in a matter of seconds.

    "I believe the new directive was to supply special agents with equipment to combat and track enemies, leaving the brunt of the fighting to the conventional forces.I'm sorry, with the armor concealing your face, I couldn't tell what you were thinking."

    "Well, I believe I have managed to bypass some of the issues. You see, I have restored most of the original control interface, allowing the user to directly connect the suit to his or her brain! This, combined with the breakthrough I made in implementing modifications on the primary weapons systems made it a more optimal choice! Oh, yes, the control form of the type ones."

    He looks deflated for a second. "That was supposed to provide me with large quantities of information regarding their power core system. I was hoping for something that would allow me to build one myself. "

    At this point, the process is complete, and instead of a short, muscular girl, a sleek, mettalic killing machine steps out, almost three meters tall, with what you assume are weapons attached to it's arms and shoulders.

    "Hell yeah, it's time to kick some ass! I pity the fool who stands in my way." The surprisingly good Mr. T. impression comes out sounding heavily distorted through hidden speakers along the head.

    "Oh, well, I actually intended you to carry the machine down to a second van, seeing as you are the most physically capable among us. I hope that isn't a problem."

    The soldiers come out from the other room, bags hanging all over them. "We're ready to go, sir."
    Catherine steps out from behind them, jumping bakc from the sight of the suit, only calmed down when she hears it speak "It's me Cath, Megan. Don't freak out on me, it's starting to grow boring."

    "No problem, I'll do it." You pick it up after the Doctor unattaches the cables, and start walking, guided by one of the soldiers. The machine is surprisingly light, less than 200 pounds after the suits components have been removed.

    From what little you can see from behind the contraption, you are in a half-finished building, whole walls missing, the open parts covered by tarp.

    They lead you down some stairs, ending in an underground garage, where the two vans wait. You lift it into one of them, and watch as Megan climbs into the other one, the soldiers piling in the equipment wherever there's room.

    "Catherine, myself and Mister Winters should go with the second van, is that quite allright? Well, let's get going then, shell we?" the Doctor says.

    "What? Oh no, the suit is problematic in regards to heavy lifting, one users arm was crushed during the tests when attempting to map out the strength limits." the Doctor says.

    "This is one of the reasons the project was discontinued, the presence of a normal human pilot severely limit's the physical capabilities, making it inferior to the aliens' combat forms in close combat. Mankind is rather squishy, as one of my colleagues used to say."

    As both vans roll out, something in your programming sends warning signals to you, redirecting your attention to a slight, pulsing, buzzing sound in the air.

    "There, two crafts. What are those?"
    The Doctor looks in the direction you point, and pushes a button on a CB-radio affixed to the dashboard. "Two dropships incoming, 10 O'clock. Megan, get ready to jump out."

    "They will drop troops in, most likely trying to block our way. We'll need you to clear them out if we can't get through." he says while keeping his eyes on the road.

    Catherine is frowning beside you, trying to make out the shapes, when suddenly her face goes blank, and her mouth opens, emitting a strange sound.

    "Doc, what's happening to her?" you ask, before the van's movement causes you to lurch forward, hitting the back of the seat in front of you. Several crashing noises follow, and the doctor almost-shouts "Now's not the time Mister Winters."

    As you realign yourself, you can see 4 figures about 40 meters ahead, climbing out from small craters, brushing pieces of road off themselves. They are similar to Megan's suit, though much more smoothed down, every part fitting perfectly together.

    Wat do?

    You quickly create a small, separated compartment for sedatives, injecting Cath with it. She shudders, and goes limp as it takes effect."Watch out for her, Doc. I'll be back soon, and there'll be hell if she isn't allright."

    You slide the door open and jump out, rolling for a second before pushing yourself away from the ground with one hand, landing on your feet a few meters ahead, ready to leap at the cyborgs. They make a sound similar to Cath's.

    You run, your legs propelling you forward with superhuman speed, and leap towards the rightmost of the aliens. It's as large as Megan in her suit, smoothed down grey steel from head to toe, with clawed hands and many-jointed legs. The rising sun is reflected from it's armor, colouring it orange and red, and you can see yourself in it, a white blur soaring through the air.

    Your right palm grabs hold of what is analogous to a face, and you wrench it up, the spike running all the way down it's neck, pumping the interior full of acid.

    Hearing the keening sound of the others' weapons charging, you let your momentum carry you forward, and bowl through the alien, kicking off of it mid-air.

    Landing behind the next one, your hands slam against the base of the neck and the small of it's back, the spikes pushing their way through it's internal mechanisms, the caustic liquid dripping out of the wound as you pull back.

    Megan keeps herself busy, her suit's armaments focusing their fire on a single point on the creature furthest from you, blinding blue flashes of energy vaporizing it's spinal column.

    The last one turns on you, small guns opening fire, a few glancing hits burning shallow craters the size of dimes into your left shoulder. However, it is incapable of hitting you accurately, your non-human musculature keeping you ahead of it's aim.

    You grab a stop sign from the sidewalk, and fling it at the cyborg, sending it reeling, it's balance only regained when you are already upon it, the spikes crushing it's shoulders on the inside.

    You hold it tight, and place your left hand calmly against it's chest, the deadly instrument sliding in between small articulations, dousing everything with the deadly chemical. In a second, you are rewarded by smoke drifting from it's seams, it's insistent tug turning into a seizure-like twitch.

    Ignoring the cries of warning, you vault on to the side of an apartment building, zzipping up it's side, You seem to have grown comfortable with your increased physical capabilities, resulting in your newfound prowess. As you reach the roof, you get a better look at this so called "HK".

    It's a strange thing, a single curved body, fluid in apparance, with 10 pairs of insectile legs folded underneath it. Three pairs of rotatable extensions mark it's length, with convex plates glowing with a dim blue light on their underside, the air visibly distorted around them. Two large tentacles are on it's back, a host of smaller ones underneath it's head.

    It raises the larger tentacles, and bright lances of energy come out of them, destroying everything in their path, barely missing you. In the area around their destruction the roof seems to have melted from the heat.

    It moves closer, surprisingly fast, closing the distance between you to a mere 10 meters in the blink of an eye.

    You leap off the building on the side opposite to the HK, running as soon as your feet hit the ground, heading for another underground garage, keeping as much cover between the two of you as possible. It follows at a constant speed, letting loose a blast every now and then, mostly shooting blind. The collateral damage is horrifying, the energy-lances ripping through homes with ease, fires spreading everywhere.

    You duck inside the garage, watching the thing as it lazily floats around the building, trying to pinpoint your location with it's many eyes.

    A shrieking sound fills the air, followed by a number of explosions. From where you are standing, you can clearly see one of the dropships plummeting to the ground, it's hull broken in half. The HK turns away from you, still eerily silent, and starts ascending.

    You hazard a glance, and see three fighter jets of unknown make, soaring through the skies, turning for another run.However, before they can reposition, one fo them explodes, hit by a lance.

    Seeing this as an opportunity, you sneak out of the building, hiding behind debris from a neighbouring building to keep you out of sight. The jets are already down by the time you get into position, several more visible on the horizon.

    You shift your arms, feeling the bones mould beneath your will, turning into your trusty blades. You kick off, using the rail of a balcony mid-way as a springboard, your blades ready to rip steel... When you hit something. The air in front of you distorts and takes on a pale blue colour, the breath pushed out of you as you collide with some kind of field! You fall down, flailing around before you hit the ground. Luckily, the HK either hasn't noticed it, or is just simply occupied with taking down the incoming aircraft.

    Deciding that this isn't a battle that you can win, you flee, racing across the rooftops of the city until you feel somewhat safe. The battle still rages on as you reabsorb your armor and weapons, the explosions shaking the ground underneath, pillars of smoke darkening the skies. You climb down a fire escape, and make your way to the garage, paying a hefty fee for the overnight parking.

    You drive at a leisurely pace, trying to stay under the radar of anyone watching. You check your phone, noticing that there is no reception, no matter where you are.

    You are relieved when you arrive at Jack's house, and park quickly, in a hurry to eat the rest of the chicken you bought.

    After consuming all of the food in the house, you lay down without bothering to change out of your dirty clothes, properly resting after an exhausting night.

    You grumble and walk to the door, opening it to find an infuriated Megan. "Finally. What the hell were you thinking, trying to take that monster of a thing on?" she says as she storms into the house.

    "We needed to distract it somehow. I figured I had the best chance of making it out alive. It worked, didn't it?" you say, picking up the remote from the sofa. "Oh sure, thanks to the fucking cavalry arriving."

    She drives you to the very edge of the city, to a run-down tenement, a blocky, undecorated building, walls a dirty, washed out white inching closer to grey by the day. She goes around the back and knocks on a hatch to an undeground workshop.
    "Come on, it's me. Jack's with me."

    The door swings open, one of the soldiers standing there with an assaukt rifke in hand, eyeing you suspiciously. "What, you gonna let us in or are we supposed to stand out here all day long?"she asks.

    He waves you in, and you enter a surprisingly large space, filled up with the equipment they brought with them. The place smells bad, though, water-damaged walls giving off a horrible, mouldy stench.

    He sits down on an old armchair standing in one of the corners. "The controll form seems to have suffered massive damage to it's programming when Megan captured it. It seems to have injected Catherine with a substance that usually helps with the transformation process. On it's own, however, it's effects are... unpredictable."

    He looks at you with some spark of his usual personality reignited."The bodysnatcher do have an incredible talent at manipulating bodies on a cellular level. It might be an acceptable solution. Do be careful, she is in a very fragile state."

    You nod, and step closer, only to be pulled back by Megan. She holds your shoulder in a grip that would be painful if it weren't for your body's enhanced state. "If you hurt her Winters, I swear to God, you will fucking burn." Her face is a mask of repressed fury, though her words are spoken much softer than normal.

    As you step closer to her, Catherine seems to regain consciousness. She grabs your hand, gripping it tightly. "Jack, what's happening to me?" Her voice is hoarse, her vocal cords not fit for the language of th cyborgs. You squeeze her hand reassuringly. "I'm here Cath. Everything's going to be okay.Just relax."

    You shape your left thumb into a bone needle, as fine as possible to avoid any damage, and stab it into her thigh. Tiny tendrils extend from it, slowly seeking out the infection.

    You start slow, trying to find the infection and identify it first. You find it soon. It feels like ice, coursing through her veins. It's already finished with parts of the spine and brain, extending itself into her heart. As you try to define what it is, Cath looks at you, her face pale and drawn in the fluerescent light. She closes her eyes and tires to relax, only to convulse and suddenly open them again, their whites turned black, the iris a glowing deep blue.

    "Need some help here!" The gunmen rush over, restraining her limbs, as you try to root out the infection. It's very deeply entrenched, though, and to avoid permanently damaging Cath, you flood her system with bodysnatcher cells, reinforcing the non-transformed tissue.

    The Doctor moves in close, grabbing a small box from one of the piles of equipment. "We need toend this now. I'm sorry Mr. Winters." he says, opening the box. Inside, there are several syringes. He pulls out one, takes the cap off, only to hesitate when you say"I can still fix this Doc, just give me a second."

    You push yourself to the limit, taking complete control of her body.

    You fight the infection tooth and nail, driving it back, wrenching control from it. All the while, Cath looks at you with unflinching eyes, completely silent since. Finally, you manage to stabilise her, and she closes her eyes, her muscles relaxing. She's asleep.

    You have failed to eradicate the infection, and strangely enough, needed to inject her with bodysnatcher tissue to keep her human. The side effects will be unpredictable.

    You stumble, the procedure draining you at least as much as last night. You find a chair to collapse into, as the Doctor analyses the accumulated data, clearly fascinated by it. He turns toward you, looking weary, older than his age.

    "Well, there is some good news, and some bad news. The good nes is, you managed to stall the infection.

    But, first we eat a ton of meat, rest up and wait till till the last moment and try again.
    Nothing to lose here.

    "Let's not be hasty. There might be another way. If we could simultaneously take control of both strains, we should be able to save her life. This would require very sophisticated equiptment, of course. Fortunately, there is a location, 90 miles southeast from here.There is a problem, though."

    Megan's expression twists, revealing her displeasure."You can't be serious, Doc. You want us to just waltz in there?" "It doesn't seem like we have much choice, now do we? With Mister Winters' help, we have a fair chance at succeeding."

    You look at them with confusion."Could someone tell me what the hell you people are talking about?"

    He looks at you, seemingly adamant about this course of action."We would like you to infiltrate Fort Heilen, a heavily guarded research lab of the Wise. Are you willing to do this?"

    "Well, we'll support you, of course. You're shifting and combat abilities, coupled with our technological and covert operations expertise should get you into the base. From there on, it's mostly a matter of speed."

    "And what do I do once inside?"

    Wait, first things first. We need a more effecient method of bulking up fast than consuming fucktons of meats. I'm not a Vegan or anything but really, we need something that's a bit more portable and discreet.

    "Sadly, the specific details of base security are unknown to us. But there is one trusted agent of the Wise supervising every base of this caliber. If you can obtain his ID and appearance, we should be able to simply walk into the base. Even if anything goes wrong, you should be more than capable of taking care of it. I can say this with certianty after witnessing your skills in combat."

    Try to say it humorously so we're not insulting him but he gets the point that we're curious why he's taking such a large risk for us.
    Also, point out it might be prudent to obtain his ID and appearance beforehand.
