Uako shakes her head at Corin.  "No.  Well, yes.  But it's not just that.  Whatever made these wounds is either a fully functioning Parasitic Body, or a wounded creature whose energy meridian has already become corrupted.  Judging by the wound, it's probably an arm or a claw.  But the trick isn't just making sure<em>you</em>don't get hit.  It's making sure it doesn't get anything of similar spiritual power to a Captain Rank."<br/><br/>"Corin, an Adjuchas Hollow is potentially as strong as a Shinigami Captain.  And one just barged into the doorstep of the Seireitei yesterday morning, fled, and hasn't been seen since.  What if the Hollow didn't mean to be here.  Or if this parasite isn't even trying to attack Shinigami just yet?  What if the Adjuchas was the target?  If it was infected, it would explain why the scouts have claw marks that carry parasitic cells."<br/><br/>Uako thinks for a moment, calculating her facts.  "We've got no data on how strong it might be, but it's ability makes it dangerous enough.  If a parasite needs at least the energy of a Captain or Lieutenant equilvalent reiatsu, it might be a nasty opponent if it fully forms.  I think it might be a good idea to talk to the commander about actually hunting that Hollow down, before it happens.  What do you think?"
