'''Parasite''' is the tenth arc of the [[Worm]] series; preceded by [[Sentinel]] and followed by [[Infestation]]. In which [[the Undersiders]] beat [[the Wards]] in their own [[PRT ENE Headquarters|base]].

==Summary==
[[Taylor Hebert|Taylor]] and the Undersiders execute a daring heist on PRT headquarters, going up against the Wards to steal classified data. The team has a new member. [[Jean-Paul "Alec" Vasil|Regent]] reveals the full extent of his power, and his origin. Taylor's relationship with her teammates has changed following the end of [[Extermination]].

When [[Coil]] consults [[Dinah Alcott|Dinah]] for information about the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]], she reveals a frightening prophecy: there's an event coming that will kill the vast majority of Earth's population. [[Jack Slash]] is the first person she's recognized in connection with this: if he leaves Brockton Bay alive, this event happens sooner- between two and eight years, instead of fifteen.

In the interludes two perspectives are seen:

Regent showcases how human he can actually be with all that implies for good and ill.

A woman deals with the chains of duty obligation and justice as she looks into a person's past.

==Trivia==
*Parasite, like parahuman means close of beside but the -site can, from the original greek, mean one who lives at another's expense.
**Beyond the fact that much criminal and therefore [[Villain|supervillain]] activity is parasitic. One characters power might count as parasitic. [[Bitch]] obviously considers [[Skitter]] to be a parasite to be removed. It is unknown whether a certain [[Guild]] member counts as a parasite or a symbiote.
