I walk into sickbay to check on Subject 342. Also in here in Dr. Wayne Wagner, M.D., Dr. Potato and a few other scientists.

He obviously won't let any of us run any more tests on him.

"Don't touch me!" he snaps, and punches one of the scientists in red lab coats to the ground.

"Take it easy," I say, trying to sound extra friendly. "Does it hurt?"

"Oh it, still hurts alright. All you've been doing here is making my condition worse!" he shouts

"How are you feeling?" I ask.

"Oh, I'm fine. Better then ever," growls Subject 342, sarcastically.

I hate how he is always on the negative side of things.

"Now just let me just do one final check..."

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" he hollers.

"Whoa, take it easy. I promise I won't touch you,"

He hisses with disgust as I slowly circle around his back, like a vulture. (It's not like I'm going to eat him or something)

I'm shocked to see that the skin on his back does indeed look worse. A speckled pattern of blisters, almost as if he was growing scales. As a rational person, I believe there is always a logical explanation for everything, but this is odd.

"Curious," I say, reaching closer.

Subject 342, with his quick reflexes, slaps my arm away from him.

"HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!"

I stumble to the floor, brush myself off and get back up.

"Oopsie. Now that's a rather curious reaction." I say.

"I have no idea what you're doing to me, but I think you're turning me into a FREAK!" he screams

"I have no intentions of shipping you off to the HappyFunFun Sideshow, but it seems that your other cancer is fading away. This minor rash was noted as a possible side effec-"

"You call THIS a minor rash! You're turning me into a freak, you crazed madman!"

I mock what he said. "That 'crazed madman' has all the information he needed for today, and he will want to check in with you tomorrow."

Truth be told, I have no idea what's happening to him. This type of cancer has never been documented. I better make sure that nobody has tampered with the ingredients.
