“Originally when Rory entered and saw the hospital beds, he first examined Arnold who was dead, his eyes staring lifelessly. Rory closed his eyes and walked on, then seeing the orderlies with his dad. “What seems to be the matter?” asked the first orderly while the second said, “Just lie down on the bed…” as their syringes appeared in their hands.
Rory grabbed a drip stand and used it to whip one orderly’s legs out from beneath him; the figure fell to the floor whereupon his chest and mouth grille sparked and exploded.

He then turned to his unconcious dad on the bed and slapped his face in an attempt to wake him. Brian stirred a little, and Rory was starting to push the bed when two discs of blue light appeared and exploded fire at him, slamming him back against the wall. With energy fizzing around him, Rory was paralysed as if he had been tazered. Then the Shakri emerged from the darkness; its glowing eyes had been the blue discs. Coming up close to examine Rory with disgust and fascination, the Shakri said, “So many of them. Crawling the planet, seeping into every corner, breeding and fighting. And when cornered, the urge to destroy.”
“Let the others go,” gasped Rory in pain. “Keep me, and let the others go.”
