[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.]

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.

Parasitic alien found trapped in ice.

[He says this simply. He loves movies.]

It could be something like that, though...

Something that was trapped here and we let it out.

[It seems a bit ridiculous but then again he's been talking to dragons, fairies, demons and werewolves for the last six months.]

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.
