Arcturus Prime, CMC Research Installation: Prometheus
Bio-Research Lab 13: Project Dante
He could sense movement nearby, blurred and indistinct.
The liquid around him bubbled and gurgled in his ears as he wondered what was happening. It was difficult to move, though he could still breathe easily.
Memories that didn't make sense was all he had other than the ones of the tank in which he now waited within.
Darkness had taken him after that odd egg had opened like a four pointed star and the thing within had grabbed him.
It had been an eternity of eternities before his mind had returned to find him encased within a wall, watching unholy horrors prowling about.
Then was when the pain had begun, almost like the descriptions of what a heart attack was from the docs.
Blood trickled from his lips as he screamed in pain while his chest started to expand, ribs cracking as the thing within him forced its way out of his chest.
The monster was like those milling about, he noticed as he felt his life fading and th creature let out a cry of its own just as the end came.
The memories kept flowing through his thoughts as he wondered just how he had gotten here.
And in the deepest recesses of his mind, he felt something there. The monster of those memories, though many, many more.

Observation Turret: Central Hive
The sealed chamber below them was full of them, the alien bio-weapon known as Internecivus raptus.
They had learned quickly that they could not escape the massive complex they were allowed in as the scientists studied the abominations that they had found.
It had been easy at first to produce them when they had located a derelict ship in orbit of a dead world. After a few early accidents that had been contained within the labyrinth that now held the hive, they had used convicts sentenced to death on the various colony worlds to grow these monsters.
Now the creatures seemed almost bored as they watched the watchers.

Bio-Research Lab 5: Hostile 117
He watched from behind the barricade, pacing back and forth within his cell.
These pests had managed to entrap him with gas only for him to retain consciousness within a cage.
His gear was gone and if he could not escape and extract his revenge, so was his honor.
Yes, he decided, if given the chance, these fools would pay dearly.

Tech-Research Lab 2: Artifact Testing
Doctor Jason Blake worked on one of the new pieces of equipment taken from the vault. In fact it was one of the pieces taken from the something similar to the new capture.
His eyes lit up in delight as the gauntlet lit up.
He had no way of knowing that the device's tamper protection had merely activated because of his inept handling.
And then the countdown ended in a shockwave that shook the entire installation after ending his life in a fraction of a second.
Doctor Blake would be one of the lucky ones in the end.
