I'm in agreement more or less with Xel here. Why go to the elusive explanation of "something worse than death" if you can just tell them what it is? I'm sure it'll scare them to the same extent if it really was worse than death. The only alternative I'm thinking about here is that it in fact isn't worse than death, and it really is all just a scare.

Though perhaps Ryll does have a point and it's the button that activates something once their "plan" is ready. Witch Instrumentality Project perhaps?

As for the deaths suppressant drug, I have always had in my mind that the girls are already dead. They were corpses already that were somehow brought back to life by the parasitic alien. If you take the alien out, they decompose immediately. The alien itself isn't quite able to prevent the rotting process however, which is why they need the suppressant.

I'm surprised that no one else thought of this.
