Sara- Yeah, it’s kind of my best bet right now I’ll try to bond with another one later if I can

Estralza- Well what’s stopping you from right now deary?

Sara- ?

Estralza- You can try your luck with any of my weapons here and see which one fits you the best. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to use more than one!

Jacob- Sound like an idea to me

Sara- Sure why not, better do it now than later

Estralza- Exactly, deary

(The scene cut to in front of Morgan-Monroe Forest with David and his group)

David- Alright everyone this is gonna be one of your first real missions, so I want all of you on guard, ya hear me?

Everyone but Tadashi- Right

David- Alright *turns around* let’s go hunt us a Wendigo

/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\

(David then pulls out several walkie-talkies from nightmare)

David- We’ll use these to communicate with each other *hands everyone a walkie-talkie* I’ve had some experience with this one, you’ll know when you’re close by the look of “dead” things it’s good that it’s Spring that’ll make it easier to tell, you got that?

(Everyone nods)

David- Alright we’ll go in teams of 2: Tadashi and Adina y'all're team 1 and Yaara and Johnny y’all’re team 2, there’s a clock and gps on your talkies, rendezvous with me at this point within 2 hours

Adina- Wait why do I have to go with tall, dark and anti-social

David- Because

Adina- That’s it, you’re not going to give a reason-

David- Happy hunting *runs off into the forest* REMEMBER TO WATCH EACH OTHER’S BACKS *waves*

(They all watch as David just disappears into the greenery)

Yaara- Well since he said split up, me and Johnny will go this way *points to the left* so I suggest you both go that way *points to the right*

Johnny- Sounds like a plan to me

Adina- Now wait a minute-

(Tadashi begins walking in the direction Yaara pointed to)

Johnny- Better hurry before your partner leaves you in the dust

Adina- *GROAN* Fine, damn

(The group splits up as Adina manages to catch up with Tadashi)

Adina- Hey wait, were supposed to be working together here

(Tadashi doesn’t talk but just continues to walk through the woods)

Adina- *sigh* Why do I even try with you

(The scene cuts to Yaara and Johnny as they are scoping out the general area)

Johnny- Find anything that looks “dead”

Yaara- Nah not yet

(They walk around a long while before Johnny says)

Johnny- Man this shits boring

Yaara- Ya think?

Johnny- I know we’ve been at this for about an hour and haven’t found shit

Yaara- Well this is our job so we're gonna have to do it regardless

Johnny- Well you can I’m just gonna mosey around

Yaara- Such a gentleman

(There's a small pause in the conversation)

Johnny- So how’d you get here anyway?

Yaara- Hm?

Johnny- In The Enterprise,I mean

Yaara- That's random

Johnny- Look I’m just trying to make this less boring

(Yaara remains silent for a bit)

Yaara- Rape

Johnny- Huh?

Yaara- Raped some guy back home, a young man

Johnny- Now that’s random

Yaara- Can’t say I didn’t enjoy it but I didn’t expect to get caught

Johnny- No one ever does

Yaara- Anything else you wanna know?

Johnny- Why did you do it?

Yaara- He was a handsome man, but he rejected me so I took him by force

Johnny- Crazy ass bitch

(Cut over to Adina and Tadashi as they walk through the forest for another 30 minutes before Tadashi and Adina stop as their radios go off)

David- //Everyone meet at the rendezvous point in 30 minutes//

Adina- Guess were going back

(Tadashi immediately turns in the direction of the meeting spot and begins walking in that direction)

Adina- *in head* Sometimes it's hard to believe he’s not a robot

(The scene cuts to everyone meeting up at the rendezvous point)

David- You guys find anything?

Adina- Found zilch, nothing but trees and grass

Johnny- Same here

David- *sigh* We’ll search for 2 more hours afterwards, for now let's eat up

Yaara- Eat up?

(David then opens Nightmare, pulls out a blanket and then drops a bunch of sealed sandwiches and water on the ground which surprises the group)

Adina- Where’d you get all of this?

David- I stockpile food in Nightmare incase of situations like this

Yaara- Is it still edible? *looks at the suspiciously not rotten food*

David- Everything that goes in here never goes bad so I can put anything in here with having to worry about it rotting

Johnny- *takes bite of a sandwich* pretty handy

(Everyone sits and eats together in a very quiet manor. No one is talking so the group just feels awkward)

David- Ok I’ll break it, how do you guys feel in this line of work, 3 months in I mean?

Yaara- What’s there to feel about it, it’s not like we can quit

David- I know that, I’m just askin’ how is it?

Adina- Pretty ok honestly better than prison so I’ll give it that

Johnny- I hear that

David- Noted

(It goes back to silence again until Johnny asks a question)

Johnny- How do you feel about this job?

David- Hm?

Johnny- I mean if were all sharing tell us how you feel about it

(David looks up to the sky and begins to speak)

David- I was in the same situation as ya’ll…

(Everyone looks at him intrigued)

David- An inmate at Suffolk County but got moved over to Phillips State after causing too many problems for the city, something like mass genocide or whatever, then got put on death row and that’s how I ended up here *takes a sip of water* so if I had to say how I felt…well I’d say lucky *takes another bite of his sandwich*

(The group was a little surprised by how callously he was in saying this)

David- Welp we better start our search again, Open

(Nightmare opens up)

David- Dump all your trash in here, I’ll empty it later

(Everyone does as instructed)

David- Alright remember we’ll search for 2 more hours and meet up at the entrance of the forest if no one finds anything, got it?

The group, except Tadashi- Yeah

David- Alright head out *disappears into the brush*

(Tadashi is the first one to leave the group as Adina tries to catch up and Yaara and Johnny go off in their own direction. With Tadashi and Adina they walk through the forest for about 20 minutes with them not finding anything)

Adina- *yawn* I can’t wait til this is over with- *sniff* What's that smell?

(She notices Tadashi stop right in front of her)

Adina- What’s u-

(Tadashi puts a finger up to shush her and then he focuses in for a second getting in a “ready” stance. Adina sees this and follows suit getting her shotgun ready. Suddenly a tendril comes towards Adina as Tadashi shoots it down)

Adina- Holy shit!

(The limb retracts into the darkness as they feel an eerie pressure emanating from the trees as the space around them becomes ever darker)

?- Nҽɯ αԃԃιƚισɳʂ ƚσ ɱყ ƈσʅʅҽƈƚισɳ, ɳҽɯ ʂυʂƚҽɳαɳƈҽ ϝσɾ ɱყ Ⴆҽιɳɠ, new specimens without meaning, it’s time to commence the killing

(A beast with the head of a deer- skull and the body of darkness and fur rears it’s contorting figure from the shadows)

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Wendigo- Meat fresh meat

(The beast makes a strike for Adina when it’s shot in it’s face by her and put down)

Adina- SON OF A BITCH *BANG* DON’T SCARE ME LIKE THAT

(Adina continues to shoot the Wendigo as it remains motionless. Adina runs out of ammo and goes to reload)

Adina- Better call David about this-

(Adina then gets stabbed in the leg by one of its tails. Tadashi throws his sword through it and flips over to pick it back up. The Wendigo stands back up as it’s head looks unscathed)

Adina- Tough guy huh-

(The Wendigo goes in for a strike to her face that Tadashi barely blocks it)

Wendigo- Food of high caliber, good for me

(Tadashi begins to shoot and slash the Wendigo, not doing much damage in the way. Adina provides back up with her shotgun shots but has as much success as Tadashi. Tadashi then throws his radio towards her and Adina gets the message)

Adina- *using radio* HEY DAVID, WE’VE FOUND THE BITCH GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW!

(Adina then puts down the radio and provides support again but is feeling the blood loss from her wound. Tadashi’s claymore agitates the Wendigo as it causes weakness in its limbs, decreasing the power of its strikes)

Wendigo- You, annoying, DIE!

(The Wendigo’s strikes become quicker and harder; Tadashi is keeping up but is slowly getting overwhelmed and this causes him to start switching between his guns and swords in mid air to try and last. It’s not enough though, as the Wendigo shoot out an attack that throws Tadashi back with Adina on the side bleeding out)

Wendigo- Morsels and Morsels, all for me

(The Wendigo picks them up and begins to eat them as a hand slams down on its head)

David- Sorry I’m late guys *notices Adina on the ground*

TADASHI, IS SHE OK?

(Tadashi puts a finger to her pulse and feels it’s weak, shaking his head to David to let him know)

David- TIE SOMETHING AROUND HER WOUND, EYES AND HANDS, MAKE SURE IT’S TIGHT

(Tadashi uses her and his jackets to cover her eyes and tie her hands then applies a make-shift tourniquet* to her leg)

(A/N: When applying a tourniquet to stop bleeding after an injury make sure its placed 2-3 inches above the wound and should be secured tightly, make sure it’s between the heart and the wound. DO NOT put over joints. Make sure this done correctly to prevent irreversible tissue and nerve damage)

David- Go, Nightmare

(Nightmare then extends and swallows Adina into her making a noticeable growl as she does)

David- That’ll give us time until we get back to The Enterprise

(The Wendigo then gets a surge of power with a terrifying shriek, throwing David off who lands gently on the ground)

Wendigo- YOU TOOK MY PREY

(The Wendigo begins summoning a bunch of emaciated, copse-like, humans from the ground)

Wendigo- SEIZE!

(The corpses go towards David as he asks Nightmare)

David- Open

(David then grabs a tachi out of Nightmare and begins to swiftly deal with all of the humans in a matter of seconds, slicing through them like a hot knife through butter. After he’s finished with them the Wendigo then charges with a shriek that rocks the ground and goes for a swipe that David dodges slicing it’s arm in the process)

David- Gotchur arm

(The Wendigo then goes in for a tail stab that David has Nightmare grabs and then rip off)

David- Gotchur tail

(The beast, not enjoying being toyed with, begins to pace around the field trying to strike David from different angles but David just chases it making a cat and mouse game. After a bit of chasing the Wendigo then goes for Tadashi who is sitting off to the side but David catches onto this and gets in front of it grabbing its face and almost crushing it)

David- Ok fun times over, Nightmare!

(Nightmare then emerges from his eye and pins down the Wendigo by its arms, legs, severed tail stump and head and then he makes a call)

David- Hey, Séphora…

(Cut over to Séphora who’s working on a test subject of O-77)

Séphora- *beep* Yeah?

David- I got the Wendigo specimen here

Séphora- Oh that’s perfect

David- You need it alive?

Séphora- Absolutely!

David- Aight *beep*

(David then turns back around to the Wendigo)

David- I’d advise you to close your eyes while your in there, don’t wanna have you going crazier than you already are or dying *waves* Nightmare

(Nightmare then descends on top of the Wendigo and absorbs it into her. As this happens Johnny and Yaara finally arrive)

David- Well you guys sure took your sweet time

Johnny- Sorry, were not as fast you man

David- Well, besides one injured, I’d say that was a job well done, everyone

Johnny- I could use a smoke right now

David- Old me would agree

(David walks up to Tadashi and gives him a pat on the shoulder)

David- Good job, man

(Tadashi looks at David for a bit but then begins walking with him. They all walk back to the train and Yaara asks a question)

Yaara- You got a pretty handy power

David- Hm?

Yaara- To be able to keep stuff like that in there

David- I mean, its harder to use it when I have to keep something alive

Johnny- Oh yeah where’s Adina?

David- She’s in here *points at his eye*

Yaara- You put her in there with that thing?

David- Don’t worry she’ll be fine it won’t be able to touch her and, as long as Tadashi did his part, she won’t die

(Both Yaara and Johnny look at Tadashi, who just blankly stares off into the distance)

Johnny- I still don’t get that guy

(They make it to the train and back to The Enterprise making their way to the infirmary in Sector 4)

David- Aye Akoni, you in here?

(They walk into the infirmary and see many others on tables around the place along with nurses and doctors treating them)

Akoni- Yah suh

(The group sees Akoni at a desk eating ramen and waving at them)

Akoni- Wah brings yu mandem here? (What brings you guys here?)

David- *removing eyepatch* Hold on, Nightmare…

(Nightmare opens up her body and David walks in finding Adina floating in the space)

David- Alright, let’s see what’s wrong

(David notices the gash in her leg)

David- *thinking* Tadashi did tell me her pulse was low she might need more blood

(David then takes her out of Nightmare and lays her down on the table)

Akoni- *smiling/looking over Adina* Suh dis de wah yu yah fah (So this is what you’re here for)

David- Yeah, Tadashi said her pulse was low so she might need some blood

(Akoni thinks for a second)

Akoni- Wull ah second (Hold a second)

(Akoni goes over to his computer while signaling a nurse)

Akoni- Kim guh git ar sum anesthesia (Kim go get her some anesthesia)

Kim- Yessir

Akoni- Wah deh ar name again? (What’s her name again?)

David- Adina…uh *looks at her name tag* Underwood

(Akoni begins to type furiously on his computer and brings up Adina’s medical profile and sees Adina’s blood type)

Akoni- *looks to a nurse* Kim, guh git an IV stan *puts gloves on* (Kim, go get an IV stand)

Kim- Yessir

(Kim goes and gets the stand as Akoni goes over to a freezer and takes out a blood bag)

Johnny- I’m guessing she needs a transfusion?

Akoni- Yep

(Akoni then looks at Adina and notes her vitals and other life signs)

Akoni- Seems moderately stable Gwine haffi perform surgery pan ar doah Cah dis leg wound luk nassy. (Seems moderately stable, gonna have to perform surgery on her though, cause this leg wound looks nasty)

David- Is she saveable?

Akoni- Yah man

David- Then that means we can leave; Johnny , Yaara grab her stuff, see ya Akoni

Akoni- Bless up (Have a nice day)

(David and Co leave the infirmary and David calls Séphora)

David- Séphora, where you at?...alright we’ll be there soon

(They head to Sector 7 where a cell has been prepared for its arrival)

Séphora- Good you made it

David- *shrugs* It's what I do

Séphora- Now follow me *waves them over*

(They all walk into the room as other Associates prepare the binds)

Séphora- Alright everyone stand clear, David, go ahead

David- *removing eyepatch* Open

(Nightmare then opens up and pulls the Wendigo out of herself while holding it in place. Séphora begins to become ecstatic from its appearance)

Séphora- Oh my you’ve caught such a beauty David just look at it

(She gets closer to it’s face as it tries to snap at her but is unable to because of Nightmare’s grip on it’s muzzle)

Séphora- *pulling hand back* Hehe, alive and feisty, alright lock it up

(Nightmare holds it down as the surrounding Associates including David’s crew secure it down)

Wendigo- All these snacks, so much for me, if only I was free

Séphora- Oh we're gonna get SO much data from you hehe

(Her acting like this creeps out everyone except David and Tadashi)

David- If that’s all Séphora we’re out

Séphora- Alright have a good one

Johnny- I don’t think I’m ever gonna get use to this place

Yaara- Same

David- Don’t worry you will, sooner or later

(Cut over to outside of Nora’s office with a Mathematician at Alicia’s desk named: Leon Pick)

Leon- Hi Ms. Alicia

Alicia- What can I do for you, Leon?

Leon- I need to speak to Ms. Rayleigh about something

Alicia- Is it urgent

Leon- Absolutely

(Alicia clicks a button on her desk phone)

Alicia- Ms. Rayleigh, Mr. Leon Pick would like to see you, he says it’s urgent…

(There is a brief stint of silence)

Nora- …Let him in

Alicia- That's your cue

Leon- Thanks

(Leon enters Nora’s office as he is overcome with an unknown pressure on his body the air is heavy and the tension is high)

Nora- What is it Leon

Leon- *gulp* Um…pardon the intrusion Ms. Rayleigh, but I have some files here that I need you to see

Nora- And what, pray tell, are these about

Leon- They’re from O-41

(The room gets eerily quiet)

The Enterprise

The Enterprise

O-1098

Object/Organism/Oddity

Danger Level: Blue Tie

Name: The Wendigo

Gender (If applicable): N/A

Species (If known): Former Human

Age (If known): N/A

Measurements: Vary

History: O-1098 was discovered 2/18/17XX in the Ohio River Valley in its neighboring woods. There were reports of people being taken from settlements and never seen again which prompted a letter being sent to The Enterprise personnel and they were sent out. A fierce battle was erupted in the region as Associate William T. Hoffman was able to subdue and capture O-1098, describing it as “The creature the natives have talked about”.

Description: O-1098 has 2 known forms: its Beta stage and Alpha stage, which are designated as O-1098-B and O-1098-A respectively. In its beta stage O-1098 is/are emaciated humans that exhibit cannibalistic tendencies reminiscent of Algonquain folklore. They are extremely hostile and attack humans on sight or animals should they come across any. They cannot speak and seem to have lost all manner of intelligence they once had as people, as they attack regardless of harm that may befall them. In its Alpha stage O-1098 grows a skull and antlers reminiscent of the family Cervidae it’s body becomes much bigger and more emaciated as it’s bones can almost be seen clearly through the skin. It has multiple prehensile tails with sharp protrusions on each of them. The Alpha stage possesses superior intelligence to its Beta stage and seems to be able to control the Beta variants like some sort of hive mind.

Ability: O-1098-B possesses animal-like senses and enhanced levels of strength and agility that exceeds that of its original human host. O-1098-A has those aforementioned abilities but its strength is far greater and its prehensile tails and even faster agility and speed make it far more of a threat along with its ability to control its Beta variant. The Alpha displays the ability to decay plant life around it to an exponential degree. This allows it to be easier when trying to identify if O-1098-A is in the area especially in seasons or places of rapid floral growth. Most peculiarly, O-1098-A can cause an entire area to become a “dark reflection of itself”, giving it full dominion over that space. It seems to receive a power boost of some kind as it has been reported of it being much faster when this domain is employed. O-1098-A can also possess others and make them into the O-1098-B types. The process by which it does this is unknown but from what has been shown O-1098-A inserts its “energy”, for lack of a better term, into the subject and slowly morphs that person’s body into a O-1098-B.

Containment procedures: O-1098-A/B is to be kept in a secured facility and shouldn’t be interacted with by anyone under Purple Tie clearance

Transporting procedures: Should O-1098-A/B need to be transported the specimen should be secured tightly in binds and a Purple Tie or higher Associate should be accompanying any researchers at all times

Binding: N/A
