kittenspeaksThe eggheads were right about the nests.
They are gathering by the hundreds.
But for what?
I suppose raw numbers raw numbers tell us that the first strike went well. We did learn that they aren't as resilient as we first suspected. Sadly, we also learned they are allot faster than we thought they would be. The eggheads wanted us to bring back a specimen for study. They say it would have all the difference in the studies. Up until now it has all been controlled environments. We controlled the specimens before and after contamination. It made for more than a few mistakes on the strike.
Specimen?!? How the hell did they think we were going to being one of those things back? Ok, when we first went in we thought we could separate one or two of them from the mass and subdue it. Then...first blood. We didn't even see it coming when it took down Bagwell. It came out of nowhere and it was so fuckin' fast. Sharks was on it before it could do anymore damage in our ranks. Multiple rounds to the back of the head and it was pulp. Before this it was a little girl...maybe 10 or 11 years old....
Bagwell was a mess. She had bitten holes through his face, swallowed and eye, bitten straight through his skull...
It was my bullet that ended his misery.
I'll never forget the look in hiseyes eye as he screamed in pain. He knew there was no way to save him and still he begged for his life. Well, begged as well as he could with the huge chunk taken out of his face...
Sharks had to pull me out of the daze of horror just as another one of the things was coming over the railing at me.
After the firestorm ended the lead team took a few minutes to survey the scene. We don't have an exact number of the Specimen we had taken down. Maybe the eggheads were right when they said we got overzealous. There was a great deal of...pulp...left. We know there were at least 200 of them And we got them all.
And to the ones we lost...Bagwell and 6 others...we'll win this war. Your deaths won't have been for naught....
There's the alarm. They've located another nest. Time to suit up again.
Maybe it is better I didn't even get a change to shower the gore off of me...
