Twenty-six hours later.
Inside the bridge of Fire Spirit.
Captain Carter sat in the main seat on the bridge, listening to various reports from the crew and directing the various operations of Fire Spirit.
Mike and his captains and lieutenants surrounded Central Control Console, watching the dynamics of the earth displayed on the screen.
Now Umbrella Marine Corpss, in addition to supporting agents and Containment Operation, also need to work with United Nations to stabilize the situation in the Middle East and Africa regions to promote the integration of military forces from all countries in the world.
"Lieutenant General, the French 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment stationed at Africa hopes to conduct coordinated clearance activities with Kenya Base."
An officer with the rank of major reported.
Mike was biting an unlit cigar and listening to the major's report with narrowed eyes.
Then he nodded and said, "Let Kenya Base dispatch the heavily armored marine platoon equipped with CMC Power Armor to assist France's most capable troops. It will just show off the existence of new equipment."
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
"Hmm."
"Lieutenant General!" Suddenly, Serena's face appeared on the Central Control Console screen, and he said hurriedly:
"Please dispatch Helljumpers to Multinational Joint Research Station at Coordinates 74°S, 89°W, where a highly threatening anomaly has occurred.
As for the agent who sent the distress signal, it is far away from Research Station, and considering the particularity of this abnormal phenomenon...
I recommend sending Pelican transport technicians to conduct a blood test on that agent, and I am now forwarding her individual video and communication requests to Fire Spirit."
Mike immediately took the cigar out of his mouth, put away his casual expression, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Later.
On the Central Control Console screen, multiple video recordings of Rebecca and Research Station are played simultaneously.
For example, Li Mu executes the two survivors, and the survivors mutate and make a horrifying roar.
There is also the situation of blood everywhere in the scientific research area, etc., as well as Rebecca's soliloquy, an introduction to this kind of thing.
And her intermittent pleas for help. "This... is... agent number Um-0414-7, with the rank of... soldier. I need the support of... the hell... soldiers."
After understanding the anomalies to be faced in a short period of time.
Mike immediately responded to Rebecca, "Lieutenant General O'Donohue from Fire Spirit here, the support request has been received. A Pelican will come to your location later, please stay where you are.
Research Station will also have Helljumpers to respond, please don't worry."
Immediately afterwards, Rebecca's communication gradually became clear, and he said, "Yes! Lieutenant General!
Please ask the paratroopers going to Research Station to ensure airtight measures! This kind of thing can almost perfectly replicate living things!"
"I already know, please be patient."
After the lieutenant general cut off contact with Rebecca, he first shouted to Carter: "Carter! Let Fire Spirit go to the Antarctic!"
"Understood."
Then he ordered to the officers beside him, "You have all heard and seen the abnormal phenomenon we are going to face this time. Prepare various measures and carry out a clearing operation."
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
Time: June 24, 2010.
Location: Multinational Joint Research Station.
At this time, Research Station is no longer its original appearance, but now in pieces, with no complete building.
There is even a hand-excavated snow pit in front of the Research Station main building, in which hundreds of 'corpses' that were burned to black charcoal were piled up.
These corpses have different shapes.
Some have missing heads, but their bodies have four arms and four legs.
Some only have their heads left, but they have spider-like jointed limbs on both sides of their heads.
What's even more frightening is that some corpses have gaps in their abdomens, extremely long neck joints growing out of their abdomens, and a head on top of the joints.
The dozens of barrels of red fuel tanks next to the snow pit indicate that someone used a large amount of gasoline to burn these "weird-shaped" things into charcoal.
Judging from the thick smoke still emitting from the pile of corpses, the person should have carried these corpses to the pile for burning when the blizzard was about to end.
suddenly.
Nearly a hundred "shooting stars" flashed across the dark night sky that was gradually getting clearer. The falling speed of these shooting stars was getting faster and faster.
Finally showing their true colors - Drop Pod.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom!"
In just the blink of an eye, Drop Pod 'landed' near Research Station.
"Bang-"
With the sound of the warehouse door popping open, the paratroopers jumped out of the warehouse one after another, squatting on the ground and guarding the surroundings.
At the same time, the communication also sent an order from their company commander:
"Guys, the anomaly we are going to face this time has extremely strong assimilation capabilities. Always pay attention to the airtightness of your clothing.
And according to the intelligence, there should be an agent left in Research Station, but Serena cannot detect his status.
It may have died, or it may have been assimilated, so be careful."
"Yes, Captain."
Then the paratroopers began to split up.
A group of six people entered the ruins of Research Station to look for agents who may have died.
The paratroopers who were searching outside soon discovered the snow pit where many bodies were piled up.
.
"Sir..." the paratrooper standing next to the captain sighed, "If these are abnormal corpses, does that mean that the agent is still alive?"
"I don't know." The captain was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
After all, judging from the data and intelligence, the abnormal phenomena faced this time are not comparable to those that Containment Operation usually has.
"Captain!" Another paratrooper reported loudly through the communication, "Our agent was found in the ruins, but we are not sure whether he was assimilated by abnormal phenomena."
"Received."
Upon hearing this, the captain led several paratroopers into the ruins and rushed to the location of the surviving agents.
In the lobby of the original Research Station main building.
Li Mu, covered in bruises and bruises, was seen leaning against the wall. His helmet and mask were long gone, and his face was covered in blood stains.
It seems that because Individual Equipment is still working, he was not frozen to death by low temperature.
But there were many wounds on his body, and even though there were traces of the use of biofoam, he still lost too much blood and fell into a state of shock.
Since it was uncertain whether Li Mu had been assimilated, the paratroopers could only wait for the arrival of technical troops and let more professional people handle it.
Project: The Thing(TheThing).
Level: Keter→Exafanistei.
Narration:
Multinational Joint Research Station, first discovered in Antarctica.
The project's individual cells are both part of their life form and distinct independent entities.
Single cell/collection of cells, two forms.
When the organism disguised by the project deems it necessary, each cell can act as an independent 'organism' and carry out infection, assimilation, and imitation.
The subject creature remains focused on one goal, absorbing and imitating other life forms.
Once a normal creature is assimilated by the project, the project will possess all the memories and abilities of the original creature, even emotions.
It has been proven that the project cannot resurrect dead life forms, nor can it assimilate life in the form of plants.
