She tries to think of conversations she's had with Van; every once in a while he digs up some ancient treatise on math and gets excited about it, she remembers every time because his eyes light up a little when he's explaining something that interests him... 

Oh.

Well, she's achieved something that vaguely resembles communication! 

Does she know any other number sequences...? No, Van would be much better at this.

Instead, she takes a deep breath, and tries to push an image across - her own Sight, focused on the Proto's life-force, the way it shows up glowing-blue, brightest in Julie's head.

(She tunes out her perception of Julie's body as much as possible, not that the Proto seems likely to learn anything it doesn't already know about how to kill her.)

(Maybe she can show it how not to kill her...) 

:?: she adds, and waits. 

It's a longer wait; there's a high volume of - something happening. More of the proto is swarming in Julie's brain.

....Was that words? It's incredibly effortful to pick out, she already has a headache, and maybe she's imagining it in the noise, but - she's pretty sure it was something. 

Shavri's pulse is suddenly thrumming in her ears, her breath catching. 

She thinks for a long moment, and then pushes across another image. This time of Julie's lungs entangled with the Proto, a vague visualization rather than her direct perception - and she clumsily tries to picture the Proto growing and spreading and forming crystals, and then Julie's life-force going dark.

Then she tries to start again with Julie's lungs as they are now, and show the Proto receding from the airways, and Julie glowing more brightly, stronger. 

And she might as well attempt words. :If you can stop hurting her, I won't hurt you: 

She waits.

What's going on? Julie says blearily; it's been a while, and she hasn't wanted to interrupt Shavri while she looks so intent but - it's been a while -

Shavri pulls back from the Proto's alien thoughts. 

:I - can communicate with it: she sends, her mindvoice shaky. 

- god.

Uh. What does it ...want?

:....I don't know yet. I can't communicate very well. It - mostly seems to be complaining that your body is - badly designed?: 

Shavri is kind of feeling like if the Proto dislikes it so much then it can LEAVE, but - it feels very new in some way, and confused, and if it's smart enough to know what dying means then of course it doesn't want to die...

She really wishes she wasn't feeling bad for a weaponized infection, or guilty about having hurt it. 

:I tried to tell it to back off your lungs so you can breathe properly. I don't know if it'll listen: 

God, Julie says again; her mindvoice carries no implication that one says that believing in any. Should I - take a tab, burn the field -

:Probably: Shavri nudges over the first aid kit. :Give me a minute, though, I have to tell the farmers to get their things and head to town. Er, how are you feeling?: 

....terrified?

:I know. Me too: 

Though Shavri's own mind hasn't decided, yet, whether to settle on terror or hope or guilt or just burning curiosity, so she's feeling all of them at once in a muddy tangle. 

:One moment. I want to... I just want to try something: 

She reaches for the Proto's alien not-mind presence, again.

:Resources: she sends. :For you:

She centers a link, not on Julie, but on the densest area of Proto that isn't impeding a vital organ - and she pushes through Healing-energy, a generous flow of it, and watches and waits and listens. 

It - shifts, swells, grows -

:Try not to hurt her: Shavri answers, with equal seriousness, and then she pulls away, and only afterward lets her hands tremble and her throat clench. 

:Can you get down and crawl to the ship now?: she adds, just to Julie, and she hops down to go talk to the farmers. 

Yeah.

And she takes an adrenaline tab and crawls, trembling, across the ground back over to her ship.  Hauls herself into it. Collapses on the floor, maybe loses consciousness for a bit, keeps crawling.

Everything hurts.

"What if my medic likes my infectious disease better than me?" is a stupid thing to be scared of.

"Fuck off," she says aloud in case the protomolecule can hear her.

The farmers take the news with quiet resignation and mute fear. They bundle up their possessions - it's not a lot - and leave. 

Shavri dumps the bundle of contaminated tarp and blankets on the field next to the burned-but-not-enough circle of earth, and sets down the covered bucket as well, and then heads into the ship. 

:I want you to show me how to do this: she tells Julie, levelly. :In case I have to - later, on my own... I'm going to try to send you some Healing-energy first. Hopefully now I can tell the Proto to back off and leave it for you: 

Okay.

And to the Proto:

:Resources for her. Not for you: 

She anchors a link on Julie's heart and starts sending energy.

For the Work. For what work? Shavri doesn't know and right now she doesn't care very much.

:To keep her alive: Shavri takes a deep breath. Lets it out. Grits her teeth. :If you kill her, then I'll burn you. If - if you figure out how to not kill her - then maybe I can help you:

It eats the energy. Not all of it, but about as much as it was eating earlier.
