I just gave a small chuckle as I jumped over the corpse of the worm and followed him to the room that the Wet Lab was located in. The front door was closed, but the I used the butt of my shotgun to break the lock and slowly pushed the door open as I gazed upon a site that left me baffled and in utter shock.
"What the kittening Hell...."
"What is it what is it!?!? I wanna see!!!"
I jumped out in front of him ready to see something cool, when instead what we saw was big trouble...
"Oh kitten..."
The Wet Lab was almost completely dark except for the pathway lights, and emergency lights, but by this time our eyes had already adjusted to the darkness and we could see the silhouettes that surrounded the room. There were rows and rows of giant test tubes containing big black shadows in them. Unsure if we should move in or slowly back off, we decided to move in carefully. As me moved closer we could see that all the tubes were filled with water and the shadows became huge bodies floating in them. I risked some light and pointed my flashlight at one of the giant tubes in front of us to reveal yet another monstrosity.
"Talk about genetically enhanced frog legs ... but this is some seriously kittened up kitten right here."
It looked like an over grown steroid induced frog with pearl white eyes, large claws enough to tear a human in half, a big over sized mouth with lots of jagged teeth. It's entire body looked like it had really tight sewed muscles, like it could jump about 10 feet in just about any direction, and probably take down a rhino at full charge in one slash. I tapped the glass with my pistol to see if it was awake, but no response. Then I realized and looked both left and right ... there were about 5-6 more of them all in a rows. 2 were empty, another 1 of them looks like it had broken out, and the other 3 were in stasis, just floating in the water.
"I think we should watch what we touch in here. Don't think we need to wake this sleeping beauty."
I cracked a joke to try and lighten the tension, but couldn't really shake the feeling of something bad is gonna happen. And so we moved into the Lab and started looking for anything that would help us drain the lower levels. I saw a computer terminal on the other side of the test tubes, and pointed it out to Logan, who walked around the rows of tubes and began to work his magic. While I was checking around to see if there were any supplies, or maybe another spare key card we could use. Instead I went to the other side and found scattered papers and files on top of a table, one of which had a strange looking icon. It had a octagon-type shape, and had eight triangles pointing inward, each one colored red & white, one after another. The more I looked at it, the more I notched how it looked more like ...
"Umbrella..."My first thought was why a pharmaceutical company was running this place, and had it's logo stamped on all these research papers. The more I looked through each file, the more things started to sound crazy. I read file after file of all these experimentations going on at the Aquarium, and this was only one of many other facilities. It started to all make sense, the sudden zombies, these weird genetically mutated animals, and all this crazy ass kitten going on. Finally I found the file on our friends in the tubes.
CODE
Case File #15
Name: HUNTER
ID: UMD3513
Test Case: JCV633-A
Notes: The experiments on creating a faster, stronger, tougher, breed of amphibious specimen has been somewhat successful, but also incomplete. The muscle tissue is showing signs of rapid degeneration, due to the over growth of sinew for each muscle fiber. The amphibian DNA is not reconstructing the muscle as it should be, and thus we have had to implant human muscle tissue as a surrogate to enhance build. To think the infection level had sped up to this kind of capacity is unbelievable! But the aggressor glands we had placed made all the subjects overly berserk, and cannot be controlled as easily. We've had to heavily sedate the subjects in order for them not to break out of their tubes. One of them had broken free and nearly slaughtered ten security officers before having to put it down. Sad waste of genetic material, but it's all to further the research.
These HUNTERS are smarter and move in packs now. They don't necessarily have intellect on our level, but have an heightened enhanced instincts. These things are dangerous, especially when in groups...
I put the file down and all I could think was "thank god, those things aren't loose", especially since all me and Logan have are a pistol and shotgun. All we gotta do is get that find a way out of here and get the hell out of here fast. I saw another case file that involved the Shark Tank, and another whale-sized creature, but just then Logan called me over after he had found something.
(OOC: Okay! Oh kitten! Now we gotta do one of those puzzles where it diverts power from the Lab to drain the lower levels, and at the same time, lets the Hunters out!)
