"Mr. Lydecker!" Frank, one of the men in charge of analyzing Major Carter's samples, called out. "Sir, wait up!"

"What is it? I have a meeting."

"Sir the major's samples are amazing. There are several abnormalities that. . ."

"I told you she was a host to an alien parasite. Of course there will be abnormalities."

"Yes sir, but there is something else. Something not quite human. I'd like to run some. . .tests. Is there any chance we could get her here?"

"They've declined."

"Look there's something about her."

"Frank I don't have time." Lydecker tried to push past him.

"It looks like her brain has the ability to deal appropriately with more than one mind."

"So."

"This might be what we need to create a hive mind."

"Haven't we ruled that out?"

"Yes. The human brain isn't capable of handling it. Major Carter's DNA may be the answer."

"I'll see what I can do."
