He has just enough time to see the probe and the wires sticking out of her neck before stabbing pain makes his vision go gray and he finds himself imitating her slump, blinking to center himself in the room again.
"When our people see what happened in that house, they're going to come looking for us. They'll find us. This..." He closes his eyes again, feeling a giddy flutter in his stomach. Not unpleasant. Quite the opposite. But his focus is straying. Steve grits his teeth. What was he saying? "This is what they do. They find madmen and shut them down."
He sags back in the chair. He's starting to feel weak again, though in a very different way. Painkillers were always too expensive when he was younger, and after Project Rebirth nothing worked on him anyway - so this? This is new. A whole different kind of fatigue, and he has no idea what to make of it. "What are you doing?"
