Thinking with speed and cunning, Randall managed to grab the tube of flies and shut it in the rifle case and close the lid, trapping the majority of the infectious insects. Unfortunately not all of them and he felt a bite on his neck. Luckily, Singh had rushed over and helped him over to the hospital. Meanwhile Hilaire pulled the savaged body of the nurse/serpent person into the bushes. Some villagers showed some curiosity but Derrick shouted at them and they ran off.
At this moment Karina came to her senses in the middle of the jungle. A serpent person with her pointed her towards the village and said " remember, as agreed, pretend you are their friend and find out what they know"
Everyone gathered in their room in the hospital, with Randall starting to feel weaker and - amazingly - slightly stupider than normal. As they debated what to do a scream was heard from the other end of the hospital. Derrick saw another nurse forcing the doctor at scalpel point to flee the hospital. Most of the party followed as she ran towards the jungle where to everyone's surprise Karina stood up and whacked the nurse's teeth out with a tree branch. A scuffle ensued which ended suddenly as Hilaire once again plunged his fanged teeth into the struggling nurse. As she(it) died she spluttered laughter at them saying that plans were too far advanced at the mine for the heroes to prevent their plans.
Hilaire then walked off leaving her to die and went for a chat with his university friend. Derrick and Karina hid the body and returned to the hospital to find Randall with his shorts down and Christina injecting him with some random drugs from the cabinet. Derrick had also felt a bite while in the jungle so dutifully dropped his pants and bent over.
Singh meanwhile had found notes that showed they were under surveillance and the doctor had been given Domination Serum to interrogate and find out how much they really knew about Caduceus operations. They apparently have only been here two days.
Hilaire went to chat to the Professor who seemed to be quite perturbed by his shirt drenched in blood, gore and random organs. She shouted Bulldog (isn't he wonderful?) and they ran off to the hospital to find out what was going one.
The heroes realised that something was going on at the diamond mine - who knew ? They hatched a plan to recover the rifles and head off. Hilaire and Randall recovered the case and released the flies into a smoke pit, rescuing the rifles successfully. Then everyone headed off South much to the bemusement of Bulldog. But not before Dr Singh had used his powers of persuasion and charm to get in some squeaky bed action with the one remaining nurse. Let's hope she was human.
On the way to the mine, Dr Singh spotted a strange flower which when he investigated emitted a large scream that only Hilaire could hear. Hilaire didn’t feel the need to mention this to anyone - surely it wouldn’t be anything to worry about.
Ten minutes later the heroes heard a rustling and crunching, a thumping and a thudding. The ground trembling. As they backed off in concern there emerged into the clearing a beast of fantastic and terrible proportions…….
And there we leave the heroes until the next episode.
