Unfortunately, Professor Snape's plan went unexpectedly wrong.

While he managed to play his wand as a flute for a very short while, he unexpectedly suffer a sudden and hard discomfort.

He drops his wand down as he falls to his knee as he have this horrible and inexplicable feeling that a tiny part of his soul got sucked into the wand along with some victims there and there. After all, he is supposed to be resist this without a problem.

As he turned his head, he sees a screen reporting an unexpected development. AIDS-9 was spreading insanely fast across the ASTROCOCK.

Previously in the battle between Chair Aznable and Professor Snape in the bridge, Chair's wand penetrated the ASTROCOCK and gave it AIDS.

It was in reality AIDS-9, the next evolution in AIDS by mad scientists to wipe humanity. It can spread and survive across blood, air, flesh and metal. The common mortal contaminated by it usually die in 2 months, long enough for private pleasures and not having really obvious symptoms until it suddenly strike very hard.

It was spreading very slowly on the ASTROCOCK and was initially of no real consequence ... until the blood of interns splashed on the front of the ASTROCOCK's hull triggered their primitive lust despite the distance between the bridge and the frontal hull.

Unfortunately, Professor Snape realize the truth : he became contaminated by AIDS-9 as its point of origin was in the bridge itself due to Chair's wand summon. His weaken internal state made him vulnerable enough to no longer be able to be at the center of his own flute's song. Otherwise, he feels as fine as if he wasn't contaminated at all for now.

Worse, the AIDS-9 are spreading fast on the ASTROCOCK. Estimates implies it will take two days for the AIDS-9 to infest the whole ship's crew and any enemy aboard. Probably a full week before the ASTROCOCK itself becomes inhabitable thus unusable as the AIDS-9 would eat enough of the ASTROCOCK itself.

Fortunately, AIDS-9 is curable in today's age even if it's a bit costy per person. Unfortunately, the ASTROCOCK can prove to be insanely expansive to decontaminate as time goes on. Yet, it's a critical step for Professor Snape's mission. He will have to find a large-enough space yard or an equivalent for decontamination.

As AIDS-9 infestation goes on, everyone on the bridge and in nearby quarters are already infested by AIDS-9. The engine room and nearby quarters aren't but it's only a matter of time. Thus John Flashman, KnoutOut and Mark aren't contaminated yet.

Unfortunately, this is not the last of Professor Snape's troubles. The ASTROCOCK shakes violently as it is under attack by The Pravda, the loli tank brigade.

While the ASTROCOCK's special nanobots repair it instantly, The Pravdas's missiles clearly have have nano-disabling technology. Systems already report 20% of the repair nanobots are down. It's only a matter of time as most nanobots gets disabled and then the ASTROCOCK actually take more permanent damage that won't be repaired by them.

Professor Snape is in double jeopardy between the raging AIDS-9 and The Pravda as his immediate threats. His crew is still sleeping and he even have some invaders still aboard.

What will Professor Snape do?

"I... blame Obama..," Snape muttered as he reached for the ship's consoles. If he could put enough momentum in the ship, he could bring it into alignment with the dock in a nearby Macrohard station to render services. His crew on the other side were already alerted of hostile space presence, but it would be a while before they could do much about it.

Snape had a hard, veiny decision to make. With the crew under lockdown, he couldn't utilize most of his defenses. He had to rely on the traditional automated weapons they had installed for the ASTROCOCK's secondary armaments. It pained him to be forced to use the weapons so early, but he had little choice. The longer he could keep the ASTROCOCK in one piece, the better the chances he had of his plan going unnoticed.

With the engines and weapons engaged, Snape turned to the the most powerful object in the entire bridge. A holy shrine of the Gods. The Coffee Machine. Rays of light came from above to illuminate its omnipotent, immutable visage.

Yet, at the last moment, Snape hesitated. Was he ready to pull out such a thing just yet? No. He stepped back from the coffee machine. It was not time.

Snape tapped in several keys on console. He rerouted the global coms from the bridge microphones to nationalistic Justin Beiber progressive pop rock, and sent it across subspace transmissions to external receivers. If he was going to be perforated by tanks for his trip back, he'd make sure they suffered immensely for the trouble.

Then, he scratched his fingers on some chalk boards to wake up the bridge crew.

As the ASTROCOCK turns to the right and half-way towards the Macrohard station, the left board of the ship starts taking the enemy hits instead of the front.

The standard armaments does start to destroy some of The Pravda ships. The Justin Beiber progressive pop rock noticeably break the solid formation of The Pravda as communication lines are overwhelmed with the music that bleeds many of the virgin ears of the enemy lolicat soldiers. Screams of pains were yelled in the dark abyss of the space.

However, the music is only of a short term effect as The Pravda's main leader have an overwriting mass command to mute all squadrons' audio communications and force a special text-only mode to send commands. It's not the first time The Pravda suffered this kind of madness and they were prepared for it.

The Pravda's formation is still scattered after the music and standard attacks from the ASTROCOCK. It is most evident by the lack of concentrated and precise attacks which dramatically lowered the damage done on the ASTROCOCK's left board compared to the front.

The scratching of on the chalk boards combined with audio transmitters did awoke some of the ASTROCOCK's lolicats crew. However, most didn't awoke or had immense trouble even standing up right. It was extremely too soon after they were just under the effects of the chloroform. Only a few of the elite and faithful managed to reach their posts on the bridge despite their horrible condition. It's deadly obvious they are still seeing in double and such.

As the battle continues, many of the Pravda's squadrons quickly start to be going towards the front of the ASTROCOCK. They obviously see so little firepower from such of an overwhelmingly powerful ship. In addition, their rear start to be blown by the rear of the ASTROCOCK as the back crew are much more present to use the more powerful weapons.

It's obvious the Pravda want to be in the most advantageous battle position and they have the speed to be in it. The Pravda leader can tell something is horribly wrong with the ASTROCOCK's front in their favor.

The ASTROCOCK also still have half-way to turn towards the Macrohard station.

Finally, Professor Snape notices the Coffee Machine has poured a very, very standard but tasty coffee of his favorite normal kind. While far from showing its true power, it shows a tiny bit of mercy as to bring a bit of comfort to his darkest hour. However, maybe it somehow knows that worse might be soon happening ...
