Hardin: “Another one, doc?”

Doctor (perplexed): “Over one hundred dead so far.. Their symptoms are all the same, but.. Their deaths.. The things I’ve found inside their bodies.. Sheriff.. This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.."

Doctor (perplexed): “Their organs are changing, Sheriff.. They’re becoming black.. Their veins saturated by a black tar still pumping through their bodies - even after death! This isn’t the sign of a body in decay.. This is an organism that’s preparing for something else!”
