"So, we know nothing about you other than your penchant for manipulating life and the fact that you created horrible monsters, and you want us to help you clean up your mess? Sounds like a shit deal to me."

"I had a feeling you weren't going to be sympathetic. I prefer the term "creating new life". And I've been working at "cleaning up my mess", as you call it, for about 30 years longer than you've been alive. Had it not been for my efforts, the Parassita would have overrun the planet by now." The voice said.
"Kakeru, he's trying to atone for the fact that he screwed up. Chill." Claudia said.

Kakeru shot Claudia a glare, then huffed and turned away. "Fine, you handle it."

"Okay, then, prissy pants. None for you." Claudia said.
"Your partner here is more sensible and rational than you. I suggest you learn from her example." The voice said.

"I didn't ask your opinion, alchemist." Kakeru remarked with a sharp tone.

"I feel like it should be respected anyway. Not everyone can create two separate spec-" The voice began.
"You two, drop it. This is getting ridiculous." Claudia said, pointing at both the TV and Kakeru. "You two are like spoiled children."

"Alchemist, speak your piece. Quick. I can't stand to hang around these...things much longer. Sooner I can leave, the better." Kakeru sighed, refusing to let his guard down even slightly.

"They listen to me, so as long as you give me no reason to, they won't attack you." The voice said. "Moving on, I propose a minor alliance. Should either of you two or a representative of your organization and my Gatherers come into conflict with the same Parassita, they would work together. I should know the power of my own creation."

"If you know it so well, how did they get one over on you, and why are they still around?"

"I had underestimated them when I created the first, and they are wily bastards. It's near impossible to eliminate a colony without something slithering way to start a new one."

"Right. So how do you propose we fix that problem, alchemist?"

"I am currently working on something to eliminate the self-replicating capabilities of the Parassita, allowing us to effectively eliminate whole colonies." The voice replied. "It will be a few weeks yet, but it should prove pivotal.

"If it works, good. Otherwise, we might have a problem. I don't know if you're aware, but they've been replicating faster, evolving faster, and got their grubby little hands on some of our new tech." Kakeru explained, calmer now, but still on edge.

"Trust me, I am working as fast as I can. These things take time." The voice replied.
"Time we may not have." Claudia replied.

"People have died, alchemist. People I trained myself. People I worked with every day. People with families to feed. And these damn things keep spreading all over the fucking world. We don't have time to dick around." Kakeru sneered, barely holding back a fierce growl.
