The Fly ザ・フライ （３）

ザ・フライ

Seth and Veronica reconcile, and, shortly after his teleportation, Seth begins to exhibit what at first appear to be beneficial effects of the process—such as increased strength, stamina, and sexual potency.

He believes this to be a result of the teleportation process "purifying" his body. Veronica, however, is more concerned about Brundle's growing mania, as well as the strange, bristly hairs growing out of a previously-sustained wound in his back.

Brundle quickly becomes arrogant and violent, insisting that the teleportation process is like a beneficial drug, and tries to force Veronica to undergo teleportation. When she refuses, he abandons her to indulge in a barroom armwrestling match that leaves his opponent with a compound fracture, and casual sex with a woman named Tawny, whom he picks up at the bar.

Veronica's next-morning arrival at the lab spares Tawny from being forcibly teleported by Brundle. After he angrily throws Veronica out and dismisses her concerns about his health, Brundle realizes that something went horribly wrong during his teleportation when his fingernails begin falling off.

He checks his computer's records, and discovers that the Telepod computer, confused by the presence of two separate life-forms in the sending pod, merged him with the fly at the molecular-genetic level.

Over the next four weeks, Brundle continues to deteriorate, losing various body parts and becoming progressively less human in appearance. He eventually reaches out to Veronica, and theorizes that he is slowly becoming a hybrid creature that is neither human nor insect (which Seth begins referring to as "Brundlefly").

Brundle soon starts to exhibit fly-like characteristics, such as vomiting digestive enzymes onto his food in order to dissolve it, and the ability to cling to walls and ceilings. He also realizes that he is losing his human reason and compassion, and that he is now being driven by primitive impulses he cannot control.
