I sense your approach.
You detect my presence but remain.
First mistake.
Your digits narrow and constrict––accessing the perceived threat. Weapon clasped, you fix your erratic stare ahead, pushing forward, overlooking options.
Another costly mistake.
You cross a wide corridor, faltering down terra-rungs, bypassing the cryogenics lab, and stop.
I brace, syringe poised.
Spooked, you endeavor a gematria code transfer, but I deactivate your hyperlink’s transmission.
Desperate, you confront, phaser cocked, firing once, twice, trice.
Fatal mistake.
Materializing into a solid humanoid lifeform, I discharge the modified FT-contagion into your positronic brain, watching for convulsions pending terminal collapse.
Neutralized.
