"Before I attempted to attack the school, I was awakened by my comrades screaming for help. When I got to them, they were all dead on the floor. There was blood everywhere. Some of their throats had been cut, while others had been stabbed multiple times with a knife. I was suddenly smacked, and I passed out. I was staring straight into his cruel face when I woke up. Then I was grabbed and held down by two of his soldiers. I saw him pull a tiny device from a case, and then my eyes were covered. A foul-tasting piece of leather was shoved in my mouth, and it tasted like mud and acorns. I felt something on my left cheek, and then, agonizing pain in my ear as something went inside me. I passed out again, but I was alone and no longer blindfolded when I woke up. My comrades' bodies were gone, and I began to feel wierd. Since then, I have had agonizing pain in my head, as if something is jammed in there.", Neighsay explained between pained groans.
Brandon put the information together, and developed a hypothesis.
"Lie down with your left ear up.", Brandon instructed as he got out a curious piece of equipment, and prepared to use it.
"What is that thing?", Neighsay asked as he did so, and looked at the device.
"Satan has created something called a Neural Bug. It is a tracker that enters your brain and gives whoever planted it, the ability to control your mind. The device that Brandon is getting ready to use, will pull it right out.", Colin explained as he held Neighsay down with seatbelt-like straps.
Neighsay became nervous and chattered his teeth when Brandon placed the extractor over his ear, because it felt cold. It felt even wierder as the machine suctioned itself to his skin. Brandon powered the device on, and began to search with the attached x-ray monitor. Colin had him bite down on a silicone mouthguard to cope with pain.
"Come on *long pause* Come on.", Brandon said to himself as he searched harder.
"It's on the move.", said Link as he noticed bulging under Neighsay's skin.
"Captain, you're going to lose it.", Colin said as the bug began to disappear from the screen.
"No I'm not.", said Brandon with determination. Then he hollered, "CLEAR!", once the bug was centered in the targeting reticle.
A piston went up on the machine and electricity sparked as the machine whirred to life. Neighsay felt the electricity, and it did not feel pleasant. After a moment, Brandon squeezed the trigger, the piston dropped, and the bug was yanked out. As the machine stopped whirring, the bug was ejected into a glass tube, with a bit of blood. Neighsay was relieved when it was over, but he passed out, a minute or two later.
