A chill ran down Alex's back when he saw the worm's reaction to the extinguishing fluid. He had wanted to help, but instead he made the situation worse for Kat. The poor girl's screams were all he could hear, and he got a powerful jolt of adrenaline. In his desperation, he dropped to his knees next to the posterior end of the worm, and brought the pointed end of the fire extinguisher's nozzle down as hard as he could into the worm's gelatinous flesh. The metal part successfully punctured the worm and he pinned it to the floor. Alex hoped that would deter it from shoving itself any deeper inside Kat's body. He wished he had a proper weapon, but there was nothing else in the hibernation chamber to use.<br/><br/>Alex gritted his teeth with effort trying to hold the worm in place. Suddenly he realized he had a transmitter on his belt! He managed to press the button with his elbow and yelled: "Is anyone alive on this ship? We're being attacked by an unknown species in the hibernation chamber! Please send help if you copy!"
