Subject E-16:
After 3 more failed attempts we’ve finally achieved some results, although I don’t think they were quite what we expected, but they should be useful nonetheless. After our last three attempts failed to successfully infect a larger specimen we decided to hold off on parasitic experimentation until we knew more about these creatures, “monsters” as my associates would call them just doesn’t feel right, perhaps we can figure out a better name in the future. Anyway, we’ve decided to do a deep dive into these creatures’ anatomies, something we should have done from the very beginning but we were hasty and wanted quick results. We started with an analysis of some blood samples taken from both large and small creatures and what we found was very intriguing indeed.
Larger and smaller specimens seem to have two entirely unique blood chemistries, the larger creatures seem to have an additional type of white blood cells and an incredible immune response to foreign invaders, whereas creatures of the smaller variety have only one type of white blood cell and have a much more delayed response to infection than their larger counterparts. I hypothesize that this could be due to the larger creatures engaging in much more fights that could result in a multitude of bacterial or viral infections, meaning that if we manage to successfully complete our initial goal we’ll have an even stronger weapon than we initially realized, we could perhaps even manage to produce a vaccine from their blood as they are now, obviously this would require extensive testing as to the safety of such a thing but the opportunity still remains if we should decide to take it.

Our next step toward achieving our goals is to figure out a way to combat the larger creatures extreme response to foreign bodies, a few members of the team are in favor of a full blood transfusion from the smaller creatures but to get enough blood would take almost ten fully grown subject just to get enough for one of the larger specimen. I’ve proposed a compromise, we’ll first take blood samples from both subjects and mix them together in order to see if the immune response of the larger one can be mitigated in some way. If that doesn’t show any promising results we move on to more drastic measures, such as attempting a full transfusion with infected specimen of the smaller class of creature or perhaps even attempting to reprogram the parasite to follow our orders in the smaller creature, if that can even be done, then having a swarm of small creatures attack a large one in hopes of overwhelming its immune response. This project is proving to be one hell of a task, but at least it keeps my mind occupied.
