Jaime's voice was muffled within the suit. He could barely breath.
The scarab had taken full control of his body and every second was a struggle to regain control.

Was this it? Would the scarab consume Jaime? Leaving nothing but a shell. A puppet to be walked around by the suit.

No!

Jaime went to space. He took part in the fight against Brother Eye. He could beat a scared and twitchy scarab.

With an effort of pure willpower. Jaime turns towards Ted.

"Shoot me, trust me. Just do it!"
