Once Reynolds had gained the support of all the security personnel, he took command of the Research Station without a hitch.
The project known as Kevin was also destroyed by Reynolds at the earliest opportunity, resulting only in the death of a Black Biologist who had become nearly insane over the research project.
Reynolds then ordered the security personnel to copy all research data related to the project and forcibly drove all the researchers back to the Colony Ship.
The Colony Ship carrying Reynolds jumped back into the Solar System on February 10, 2020, at 11:32 Hafa Time.
Reynolds contacted the Artificial Intelligence Tina through communications and requested technical support to fully disinfect the Colony Ship and all its members, including himself.
The entire expedition team underwent a Memory Wipe procedure, while the security personnel who had assisted Reynolds received the double pay Reynolds had promised them.
Their memories were also altered to make them believe that the expedition had received funding from Umbrella, which was why they had been paid twice their normal wages.
Aftermath:
Since the project had been discovered on the surface of Barnard b, along with its various characteristics, it could be inferred that Barnard b had once resembled Earth's early environment.
It was in that environment that a special organism like the project was born.
However, Barnard b lacked a Giant Gas Planet like Jupiter to protect it. Combined with its weak geological activity, this meant that it had failed to retain a sufficient magnetic field, causing its atmosphere to steadily escape.
Eventually, these organisms scattered through the soil in the form of individual cells and entered a prolonged dormant state.
Conclusion:
The project was a carbon-based organism. Given sufficient oxygen, water, and nutrients, it could rapidly divide and reproduce while
