Chapter 80 Madness Progression
The man who turned out to not be going to the bathroom in the plants, unless he was going to the bathroom fully clothed, leapt at me baring his fingers and teeth. I kicked him in the face.
He slid past me on the floor on his back, admittedly rather stunned from my kick to his face. I turned around and aimed my sword at his face, but he bit it. That didn't really do much since his teeth weren't strong enough to damage the blade.
I just pulled the blade back. He got up off the ground and went to jump at me again and I was tempted to say something, but it seemed pointless. This guy was going to keep attacking me until I killed him.
So I readied my sword, waited for him to jump, and then cut his head off mid air. His head flew into the plants. His body flopped to the ground. Nothing special happened after that.
I looked around for food or something useful but there really was nothing to be had. A few more people jumped out of the bushes at me and I took them out quickly and easily. Discover exclusive tales on empire
I was within sight of the back door of the room, when another dude popped out at me but he had a knife and he was swinging from a vine. I ducked under the knife and cut him in half as he swung away. There was so much carnage in this room of plant life and vegetation.
Next, was the engineering section which was all pipes and steam. A few people jumped out at me, but I just used my sheathed sword to beat them to death. It wasn't a particularly challenging area.
After that was the gravity generator room. It was a spherical room that contained a large geometric object in the center that spun and rotated. The room itself had no gravity.
So I had to crawl and jump my way through space to get to the other side.

"I'm rich, remember? Thanks to you." She said. "So I bought a trip aboard this spaceship to get to the Mars colony, but then we got hijacked by pirates. Pirates that were carrying a deadly disease."
"I know," I said. "I got infected."
"Me too," she said, looking down. "There's only one cure left in the med bay. There's more at the helm of the ship, but who knows if we'll be able to make it in time. Who do you think should take the cure?"
"You, obviously," I said. I needed that cure, but I wasn't going to sacrifice someone else's life to get it.
"But you're stronger in a fight. We need someone strong to retake control of the ship, or the pirates will kill us all," she said, hesitating.
"No. You take it. I'll manage until we get to the helm," I said.
"Ok," Lara said, as she pulled out a syringe. She stabbed it into her leg and injected it. She started to convulse and her eyes rolled into the back of her head.
"Lara! Are you ok," I said.
The convulsions subsided and her eyes went back to normal. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about," she said as she stared into my eyes. Her pupils dilated until the entire surface of her eyes was black.

I didn't know if her eyes had actually turned black or if this was just the progression of my madness. I needed to fix this and I needed to fix it soon.
