Use your pheromones to infect Maria with the Mosquito.
Your suite mates arrive at 9:15 pm for game night. You play the trivial human card game Munchikin. Three games are played, your human mind manages to win the second. During the game you spend time observing your roommate Maria. Her intelligence and knowledge of human cybernetic comunication make her a prime candidate to be the first 'human' member of the Arthropod Empire. You further conclude that her love of science fiction stories, some of which depict Arthropod life with uncanny accuracy, will make her transition away from humanity a smooth one.
Your mind made up you wait for Maria to fall asleep: She makes some small talk with your human mind while lying in bed before she passes out at around 1:25 am. You wait until 2:00 to be sure that she is realy out cold, before walking to Maria's bedside and kneeling down. You grasp her head and pull it close to your own, where you carefully apply your marking pheromone to the inside of her mouth with a soft breath. You pluck the mosquito larva from your hair and place it on her tounge. It makes its way to the back of her throat before boring into her body.
You stare at her for several minutes; regarding your first offspring fondly. You then instruct your body to create more marking pheremone. You also convert some birthing protien into another mosquito larva. You set out into the night, hoping to find someone else to serve as Maria's first broodmate.
Yea, infest someone else
Someone random, probably someone we meet while walking between buildings.
Infest them as a mosquito
Familiarise ourselves with the social dynamics of the university.
You cross the campus and eventually find a male student just leaving the gym after a late night workout. You stealthily tale him for some time before he reaches a completely unlit part of campus. You pounce him in the dark and wrestle him to the ground. He screams, kicks, and flails eventually slipping out of your grasp before you can calm your respiratory system enough to deploy the pheromones. He runs off.
You are pretty sure that as a human male, your would be victim is to prideful to alert the proper authorities of what just transpired. You decide to play it safe, however, and relocate to another part of campus. While moving you notice an old man leaving the J. Edgar Hoover building. You seize the opportunity and follow him queitly for awhile. Eventualy he also enters a poorly lit area and you charge him. He too struggles violently, but his body is not covered in slippery sweat from a hard workout so you are eventually able to cover him with a cloud of marking pheromone. You grapple with him for a bit longer until you are sure the larva has had enough to climb onto your victims skin. You let go and run like the devil when you hear campus police approach in response to the old man's screaming. You escape easily.
You return to your dorm at around 5:00 am. Maria is awake. She complains of a sore throat and a headache. Your human mind offers her some Advil and she accepts. At around 7:00 am you can tell that the larva is begining to merge with her mind. She is attracted to your flesh as your maggots are, constantly grabbing, squeezing, and hugging you. If she notices anything wrong about the hardness of your skin she keeps her mouth shut.
You pry yourself away from Maria and head to your classes, more interested in learning about the social dynamics of the school than the actual subject matter at hand.
Computer Science-You learn that your professor is Dr. Jerald White. He used to work for NASA
-You learn that your professor is the adviser of the robotics club on campus
-You learn that the student on your left is named Tarn. Tarn is on his last semester at school, and is taking this class to fill qualify as a full time student and worm his way into one final scholarship check
-You learn that the student on your right is Mellisa. Mellisa is a freshman who lives in the same building you do. She is friends with Maria
-You learn that your instructor is Manny Jimenez. Manny is a graduate student teaching a 101 class in exchange for a tuition waiver
-You learn that Manny is a strict instructor. He dose not permit you to socialize with the other students
-You gain two standard units of knowledge on psychology from listening to his lecture
You reflect on what you learned in Psychology class and on the knowledge that your mind came pre-packaged with.
All knowledge is measured in standard information units (SAU)
2 SAU human psychology
150 SAU general human interaction
500 SAU human biology
500 SAU Athropod biology
500 MBRD opperation
300 SAU Athropod medicine
100 SAU energy weapon opperation
50 SAU energy weapon repair
150 SAU human martial arts
Inventory
1 Syringe of emergency birthing proteins
1 MBRD control node (Disguised as a fully functional laptop)
1 Athropod Matter Fragmenter (Disguised as pen, 2 uses left)
1 Packages of Protein Fungus spores (Need to be cultivated in a dark and damp location)
4 Sets of everyday female human clothing
1 set of athletic female human clothing
1 set of human sleepwear
1 set of alluring human female sleepwear
1 set of alluring human female swimwear
1 Backpack of textbooks and school supplies

Known NPCs
Blue text means you have the characters contact information.
John, an uninfested human sophomore involved in sports.
Maria, an infested and geeky human freshman. Your roommate.
Laura, an uninfested human freshman. Your suitemate.
Joan, an uninfested and very young human freshman. Your suitemate.
Manny Jimenez, your uninfested and strict psychology instructor
Dr. Jerald White, your uninfested computer science instructor
Mellisa, an uninfested freshman who lives in your building
Tarn, an uninfested senior on the verge of graduation
Marylin, an uninfested human senior. Your nosy RA
An unknown and infested old man
You spend the rest of the afternoon looking after Maria. She and the larva within her have matured past the infantile need for contact with the queens flesh. They now float in and out of consciousness as their two minds meld into one. She will most likely reach Pupa status before dawn. You do not know the whereabouts of the other human you infested, but you sincearly hope that he developing just as quickly.
