Overview of the ’78 Deathwatch RG-E Project
More than six thousand meters below the Atlantic Ocean, entrenched deep into the North American Basin, was a research facility with a security force of one hundred soldiers grown in all manners of test tubes and tissue vats, and a research team of twenty-three men in lab coats, hazmat suits, and exoskeletons. Among these men and half-men, were the inhumane. These creatures, these abominations, these insults to God, these things created by psychopaths in order to tip the balance of war in Arkadia’s favor--these things numbered in the hundreds, and their numbers grew constantly. Masses of teeth, claws, spores, chitin, muscle, and biological armor held together with bones and flesh with …show more content…
The psychopath who’d conceived it--or at least created the genetic template and spurred on its growth--had failed in creating what he’d thought he’d achieve. What he’d planned out, was a subject who would be capable of surviving extreme situations by releasing spores upon death--spores that would carry its DNA and allow for it to be retrieved and regenerated inside of a nutrient vat or its equivalent. Instead of creating a spore releasing creature--they created something different. A hyper-intelligent combination of a human body covered head to toe in a specialized fungus. RG-E30 was not the human body. The human body was a host, the son of a chemist who had volunteered for the occasion after having been told that his genetics were considered ‘favorable’ by the lab coat wearing psychopaths in the North American Basin Blacksite (Blacksite Basin in official documents). The man, whose name was erased from every document, every certificate, and who’d just disappeared, was still alive. This subject was the first parasitic abomination to have been created. But the parasite, was not a parasite for long. The man who had volunteered claimed to begin hearing voices, and brain scans began to show that there was a lump forming under his cerebellum, as well as tendrils growing into the brain in general. The man did not panic upon hearing this--for he had heard it before. RG-E30 itself, was responsible. It had grown slowly and carefully …show more content…
The half-human guards were dispatched to find it--how a single creation was to be lost in a facility so deep underwater, was considered insane by the insane. Unit 56, a large, burly amphibious creation, went to examine the airlock systems. There, they found RG-E30. Or at least where the beast once was. The airlock had been cycled minutes ago, and one of the pressure suits was missing. All amphibious guards were put on alert, and sent out to find RG-E30. Twenty-five heavily modified creations stepped out--no pressure suits since they were built to withstand the temperatures and pressures of the deep ocean floor. They found RG-E30, in the pressure suit, walking at a sluggish pace away from the North American Basin Blacksite. The guards could not catch up--their bodies were built to withstand the forces that prevented normal humans from surviving on the ocean floor--they were not built to catch up to escaped creations--there was no plan of action for escaped
