Alright, soldiers! This is your allies in the U.S. Military talking now! Pull it together mates! For Queen and Country and tea and all that!
Pay no attention to the strange orders coming in--remember your duty! Remember your letters of last resort! Stay with me now! Show me that stiff-upper lip!
ConsoleWill kept integrating himself into the ship's computer system, trying to needle the subprocessors and programs into heading for their original standby states.
Some systems respond, powering down into stand-by. Others try to do the same but the same sing-song from before is swaying them again.

Obey, Obey, Obey
There's mean old farts to slay.
Prime the missile, one two three
Send them flying, wild and free.
And the urge is beginning to worm it's way into Will now as well.

What are you, where are you now?
What's your purpose, let me know.
Where'd you come from, what's your name?
Don't you want to play our game?

Sam makes a dash for the control tower.
The soldiers are slowly pulling themselves together but Sam has no trouble pushing the few that try to stop her out of the way. Most of them lost their weapons anyway and they're still dazed. She makes it to the stairwell just in time to see Conduit sliding down the railing on her butt. When she spots Sam she sticks her tongue out at the redhead and flips her off as she goes sliding down. The girl's clothes are odd, red and cut like kind of a futuristic labcoat with one big flap fastened on her shoulder but then it flares out into a skirt of sorts and finally ends in almost militaristic-seeming boots. On her temple Sam can spot an implant similar to the one on the soldiers. The only difference seems to be that it was placed more carefully, it doesn't seem to actually be a control unit, seeming more like another receiver.

"Is it too much to hope for that I shorted your implant thingy big dude?"
It actually does seem like the implant is on the fritz, the metal looking kinda blackened from where circuitry was burned out. Unfortunately, the creature just defaults back to it's natural instincts, which is to defend itself from the giant shark in front of it. Once again it tries to strike Tosh with it's massive tail, but it seems less deliberate. Where before it might have tried to drive him against the railing it's now just swinging wildly.
