"Zis is nozing I've ever even heard of before. I don't know if anyzing can be done," a blu medic sighed tiredly. He had to once again heal Hugo's mysterious injuries. The medics had to do this every few hours, so they had developed a routine where two medics would take shifts looking out for the sniper. The blu's partner, Dolphus, just had to silently agree.
"Hopefully it will be over soon. I don't see how it could get worse."
"He could be possessed," the blu medic tried to joke. Dolphus just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah right. Anyvay, I'm going to grab a drink. Vant one?"
"Sure."
...
"SOMEZING IS WRONG! I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE!"
Dolphus flinched and dropped the cold beer cans on the floor from surprise. It was the BLU medic he had been partnered up with, and he sounded distressed. Ignoring the cans, he dashed back towards the medical room where the sick sniper was kept. By the time he got there, the other medics, all wearing masks and goggles, save for some gas masks, were gathered around a twitching, mumbling Hugo. They all looked uneasy as they stared down at him.
"Vhat happened?" Dolphus squeezed by them as he pulled on his own mask and goggles. He looked down at Hugo and froze.
The sniper's skin had turned pitch black. He had no features to be seen, but the rapid rising and falling of his chest suggested he was in great discomfort.
Hugo turned his head and opened his eyes, which were large white circles. He gasped and tried to sit up, but Dolphus shoved him back down onto the bed, "Don't!"
"H...elp... mee..." Hugo wheezed and weakly grabbed the medic's arm, "kill... kill me... please."
the medics looked at each other, nervous, confused, and some were even afraid. They didn't understand what was wrong, and they couldn't kill Hugo thanks to respawn. At least, it would take a while to deactivate his name, not that any of the REDs would want their teammate gone.
"Vhat is happening to him?" Dolphus looked up at the other RED medic and shook his head.
"I... I don't know..."
