"We're being attacked by an unknown alien species," Alex tried to speak clearly into the transmitter, although he was totally shaken by what just happened. "It resembles an enormous annelid. It has raped a crew member. I tried to stop it, but it tore itself apart and one part of it is... is now lodged within said crew member."<br/><br/>Alex finished speaking and kneeled next to Kat. He hoped the worm had not caused any internal bleeding. Now there was no safe way to get it out. Even if he would be lucky enough to reach into Kat's anus and grasp the worm, pulling it out would be impossible without the worm's cooperation. Even if he was strong enough, the worm would tear Kat's intestines coming out, if they had not been torn already. He hoped not.<br/><br/>"Help is coming," he said reassuringly to Kat and took her hand. "Try not to move, let that thing settle down."
