*Gees walks into the chamber shaking her head at the colonels last comment*

You've seen it, now can we go.

Gees where's you sense of adventure?

*Starts to look arounfd the place, looking for the disc wanted by Nefertum*

*sweating*

I really don't like this. If someone sees us we'll be killed for sure.

*Gees runs, fleeing back down the passageway*

*Parchment in the Colonel's pocket grows hot*

*A warmth begins to fill her veins*

*Starts to search franticly*

Gees help me I must find a disc, an information disc, please help me find it

*It tingles with a feeling that would be pleasant were it's nature not known. Then a mild stab of pain shoots through the Colonel's belly*

*The searching gets more frantic, in a last ditch effort she prises open a box to see a small information disc nestling in the bottom*

Ah ha at last, I've got it, Gees, come on lets get out

*The parchment vibrates, insistantly, as though demanding attention*

*Slips the disc next to the parchment and hope it will do the trick*

*data transference occurs, with a cool glow, burning the disc out with a flash, then words appear on the parchment*

Well done, Colonel. Correct disc.
This parchment contains the antidote. Imbibe it.

< That's for your character to decide.... >

*The colonel eats the parchment and returns the disc*

Come on Gees let's go

*Tiny nanobots and other... things... begin to spread throughout her body, removing the poison. Once it's gone, however, they do not leave*
