[It's just Raiden's voice at first, low and rusty.]

....Some of you've probably seen those things by now. They aren't human.

Don't even seem to be alive.

[There's a blip then a shuffle and a sigh followed by a video. It shows an AR display of the Agricultural Wing, with Necromorphs visibly shuffling around behind walls and wires. They don't read as having any pulse or brain activity, but there seems to be something in them that is compelling them to move.]

Anyone got any ideas on what's going on here?

[OOC: For an idea on what is readable from Raiden's video, look here. He can't quite explain his readings, but people with a more scientific background might be able to.]

Zombies.

Oh, well....good question.

Maybe because dragons couldn't fit in these halls?

Okay!

[For once, slips in with video feed and shadow-smudged eyes, and is too shaky to correct this.]

Not alive? So they're... being manipulated?
anklets: (the pressure's hard to take)

[Mmf. Too close to home. Closes her eyes, a grimace.]

More than that, how are we meant to stop them?
anklets: (honeysoaked)

[personal profile] anklets 2013-11-03 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Figure out what's making them move so they can figure out how to stop them so they can figure out what's making them move. That's one hell of a vicious cycle, Raiden.

She looks very small.

It isn't- a virus, you don't think?

[Haa.

Tightly:

anklets: (kissable)

[Coming to the same conclusion, like a sensible soldier girl, though you might say she's the opposite of amenable towards it.]

That won't have to happen.
anklets: (nevermore)

[personal profile] anklets 2013-11-09 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
It won't.

I've got guesses, but none of them are pretty.

The only thing I've seen that resembled something like this was the transmode virus, which converted its hosts until slaves of the Phalanx hivemind. Except even that required you be kind of alive...I think.

Alternatively, we could just be living out the plot of The Thing. And if you're too young to know what that is, you're not allowed to tell me.

As far as I know, we don't really know all that much about the base. And I don't know that anybody really has or thought to find the equipment to bring biohazard scanners into this place, any of the abandoned storage areas.

[Which, in retrospect, they really should have.]

I know alien species with a tendency to take over other...beings, and assimilate them, but nothing really like this. Unless somebody brought a mutated something off bad-ending Earth.

[She frowns as she squints at the readings.]

Well, they're definitely not alive. That's a relief, I suppose.

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2013-11-05 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing the same thing controlling them now, but we can't be sure. [A slow, pensive frown.] If we can get a hold of some samples...
bodilesswarrior: (Default)

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2013-11-05 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight nod.] I don't think we have the right equipment to test it, but we could get some.
bodilesswarrior: (Default)

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2013-11-08 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Hell, it'd probably be safer than staying here.

[Her lips purse as her brow furrows. If she only knew what they were looking for.] Some kind of blood chemistry analyser. A mass spectrometer. DNA sequencer.

We'd need to break into a good forensics lab.

My time - 2005 - would have the equipment, but we'd need to break into a high-end forensics lab.
