Nothing

Jeffery finishes your tests and then leaves the room. You begin to panic! You fear he’s detected your spores inside your body! You want to run and escape from the building but that would only raise suspicion if they hadn’t actually found anything so you sit still.

Then with a light knock the door opens and Jeffery returns into the room with a clipboard. He flips through the paperwork and then sets it down and turns to you.

“It looks like everything is fine and checks out. You’re free to go.” He says much to your relief.

You feel as though your entire hive breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye to Jeffery you return to your lab to continue your work.

Meanwhile Linda/You has been busy. She’s been going through every file on hand in the office related to gh6845. The laboratories have 24/7 surveillance systems watching the lab. While it looks like Brenda’s only briefly skimming the documents without reading them and acting as if she’s sorting documents, she is actually serving as a sort of scanner for your Central Brain. Even though Linda didn’t have a photographic memory it didn’t matter, as every page and every file she looks at even for a moment is saved in complete detail in your Hive Mind’s memory.

Soon enough you learn a bit more about “yourself” apparently gh6845 was discovered in a rainforest among a colony of ants. It appears the spores released caused the colony of ants to spread the spores to other ants and form a colony around the fungus to build and expand the fungi by seizing control of the ants small brains. The nature of how it would hijack the ants brain and how it worked was a mystery. While according to the CDC’s research the fungus had no effect on animals or humans in its current form but there were multiple warning about the dangers this fungus could potentially if it jumped species…

Linda/you can’t help but grin as she scans all the documents for You into Your collective Mind. The CDC had no idea that the fungus had crossed species and that Linda and Brenda working right under their noses were actually already infected by Your spores. Having read every document you could find you have learned more about yourself you could ever imagine. From chemical makeup to the shape and interior of the fungus spores and some information on how Your fungus transmit electromagnetic signals.

But You needed to learn more. You put away the reports and paperwork and get up. You Petri dish and using a gap in the surveillance cameras coverage you exhale some spores into the dish. You casually walk over to one of the microscopes and begin studying your spores in comparison to the original gh6845. Almost immediately you notice the differences. Your spores have clearly undergone an evolution in comparison to the original gh6845 fungal spores.

Needing to know more, you have Brenda go to the restroom and give birth to the spore sack in her womb. Placing the spore sack in a plastic bag you have it release its spores within the bag. Then you have Brenda deliver the plastic bag to Linda. Immediately you have Linda extract the spores from the spore sack and put them on a Petri dish as well.

Finally seeing this in person and seeing your spores under the microscope you realize you may in fact be able to spread your spores to other Human Males! What it would do is unclear whether they would be fully assimilated or merely a puppet but all you know is your spore sacks produce a slightly different spore than the spores produced naturally in your bodies. But there was only one way to find out…
