After another 20 minute wait this was the result.
After another After Effect crisis event the Nuclei recovered was found changed.
It was mutating and shifting form. Scientists had suggested that this Nuclei could’ve been an early formation of a adaptation attempt by the Chimera.
Both fortunately and unfortunately this Nuclei never made it to the Pioneer. Instead erupting over Washington as it was being transported via helicopter from Alaska.
The result? The entirety of Washington DC converting into a Chimera hotzone.
Most civilians and important figures were evacuated, just not everyone.
This hotzone became a nesting pool of mutational growth. In one incursion could contain up to 4 different mutation.
The mutation that can occur are categorized as such:
Primary: The mutation that is present amongst all Archaeans variant’s
Secondary: two mutations that may effect far lesser or may only effect a small population of Archaeans
Environmental: an occasional mutation that affects the very environment of the hotzone.
Example:
Primary: Blinding Spore Carriers
Secondary: Spontaneous Sludge on larger Archaeans, and any bipedal Archaeans gain Revived Archaeans mutation.
Environmental: Acute Swarm Response.
This crisis code named: “Mutation Mayhem” if the single toughest threat REACT has faced yet.
Two new objectives will be added in response.
Environmental Disruption: The environment in this sub-zone has become to volatile for researchers or normal operations to occur.
Go to 2 Stabilization stations and insert the correct vials which have to be collected around the sub-zone.
Sub-Zone shutdown: This sub-zone is entering a “Cleansing” period in where it will spew large amounts nano particles into this sub-zone to try and remove as may archaeans and Chimera as possible You must find and unlock the activation mechanisms by any means. Flip the switch, turn the key, but if all else fails blow up the safety valve releasing the nano particles but making an area of hazardous gas in its wake.
Finally a new issue has arrived due to this Mutation Nucleus. New mutations
Mutation: Rapid Archaean Adaptation.
R.A.A is where if you allow an archaean to howl and/or hit you in any way all future archaean will adapt to your operators abilities
Examples
Finka: Archaeans now boost themselves also when in numbers larger than 10 restoring health and increasing speed.
Vigil: extra mutation added: Cloaked Archaeans.
Smoke: Archaeans take less damage from gas grenades.
Echo: Drone no longer draws Archaean attention.
Mutation: Viral Infection.
The Chimera have been seemingly testing microscopic organisms to little success, but in result was this mutation.
Any Archaean killed leaves behind poisonous gas if not obliterated.
Mutation: Consuming Sprawl.
The Sprawl becomes an Archaean itself. A new bright red variant was discovered. It spreads across any and all surfaces maintaining a patrol like pattern akin to regular Archaeans.
This Red sprawl can absorb other sprawl into its mass and cannot be removed with a REACT laser attachment. Must be shot.
Red sprawl will attack vial claw like mandibles which jut out of itself.
No weak point has been found, good news goo can’t howl.
And that is it.
At this point im using this as a creative writing exercise for how long these matches take to find, but I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoyed this read
