The Thing Day 4 (delete the other one)
The men hurriedly dragged the body of the imposter Doctor Copper into the operating room of the medical bay. Blair quickly set to work dissecting the specimen. Upon slicing it open, the team discovers that this body had a near working set of organs, though some of them didn’t quite look like organs yet.
“These things make a perfect genetic copy. A few more hours and we would never have been able to tell that this wasn’t the Doc”, stated matter-of-factly.
Right then, MacReady burst into the room holding up bloody tattered rags.
“These are Doc’s clothes. I think these things have to tear through your clothes before they take you. Like we saw with Clark”
Childs stood in the doorway, armed with flamethrower. This would become very handy in a minute.
Blair had an assistant reach into the incision which has now clamped down on the assistants hands and had apparently sprouted teeth. The assistant screamed as blood spouted from his wrists and eventually collapsed, dead.
Everyone in the room ran to get behind Childs.
“Should I do it?”, asked Childs.
“BURN IT!”, shouted the rest of the men in a terrified harmony.
Childs let loose with the flamethrower and the alien let out a scream that didn’t seem to be coming from anywhere in particular. It was like the sound a spider makes when you set it on fire but all over.
In the midst of the burning, Copper’s head which now hung over the back of the table, began to split off from the rest of the body, in the way that silly putty extends and separates when you pull it apart. The imitated head of Copper proceeded to prout spider-like legs and new eyes that protruded from its chin.
This spider head walked out from around the table, but with nowhere to run to, it was exposed for all to see.
“You have to be fucking kidding me”, Windows exclaimed.
Childs let loose on the spider head and it convulsed about before finally attaining its final form as a burning pile of goo.
It was at that time that some of the men noticed that people were missing from the room.
