Female Parasite: "I am a parasite. Specifically, I am a female parasite of the species Plasmodium vivax. I enter the human body through the bite of a mosquito and cause malaria." [player]: "Malaria? That sounds dangerous." Female Parasite: "It can be. I live in the bloodstream and reproduce in the liver. I can cause fevers, chills, and even fatal complications if not treated properly." [player]: "So, what are you doing out here?" Female Parasite: "I was looking for a new host to infect. But I have yet to find someone suitable." [player]: "I wouldn't recommend infecting anyone. That's not a good thing to do." Female Parasite: "I know, I know. But it's in my nature. I need a host to survive and reproduce. It's just what I do." [player]: "Well, I'm sorry but I can't let you infect anyone. You should probably leave this area." Female Parasite: "Alright. I understand. I'll go back to the jungle. But I'll come back when I find a suitable host." As she turned to leave, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the girl. It wasn't her fault she was a parasite, after all. But I knew I had to protect any potential hosts from her infection. I continued on through the jungle, hoping to find a way to stop her and any other parasites from spreading their sickness.
