The Virals begining was long a subject of debate. No single party wanted to admit to creating them, But everyone knew that it just wasn`t natural. Someone had crafted them to adapt, and adapt they did.

My kind do not have names, Everyone except those at the very top are hive minded. However if you must know me I shall tell you of my origins, And by learning of me you learn of the begining of the viral race, For I was the first.

My early memories were very cloudy. Probably because of the liquid solution my creators kept me in. I could mostly see in shadows, there were periods of darkness and periods of light, During the times of light they would come, press their fat faces against the glass and tap, It was quite annoying and wholly disturbing. But I let them look, Nothing bothered me back then, I was happy.

Eventually my mind began to grow, The result of their experimentations in advancing inteligance, an oxymoron if I`d ever seen one. As it grew so did I, Eventually I out-grew my tube, then my tank, and eventually I was moved into a circular room with a depression in the center, this was filled with my liquid and I was generally very happy to lounge in it all day. But even the greatest of things must come to an end.

They decided to put my inteligence to the test, They`d give me blocks and see what shapes I`d build out of them, Of course my whole world being tanks I didnt build anything. This upset them quite a bit, they grabbed this rodlike thing and pressed it at me, The pain as the electricity surged through me was a whole new sensation, one I did not like. Being in the brine gave me a but of an edge as the thrashing sprayed some onto the one shocking me and it coursed through into him too. That was an interesting experiance. As I shudder over to him he lays there smoking and sizzling, A horrified expression upon his face. I touched one tentacle to his face and felt a warmth spread through me. As it did I began to change.

your writing is good and the story aswell, but I think you more likely described Parasite 106 instead of Viral 106:P
The way you make the stories are very nice to read though;)

The Viral 106 species, as its name implies is a virus-like species, which survive solely on new hosts or victims, namely other races. Caused by the outbreak of a mysterious virus that erupted on the outer territories of the Terrans, it quickly assimilated technology into itself through a mysterious process still debated by various scientists all over the galaxy. Furthermore, the species can only multiply when there is a sufficient and steady income of hosts.


technically my story does not contradict the discription givin by the game.

hrm, explain the 106, That should be easy enough o.o

Either way, had to make it man-like cuz writing about a floaty virus woulda been dreadfully boring, but if you want i can trash this project and do a different one.

We waited untill night fell and everyone clamored in to go to sleep, Such a waste sleep, 8 hours of the day they`re not doing anything productive. I hope I didn`t absorb that trait. When everyone was settled in and snoring lightly I snuck out of the closet and crept to the nearest bed, Clamping my hand over their mouth I decided to attempt a new way, I knelt near them and let one of my head tentacles enter through the ear, and it suprised me by popping right off! It slithered inside and began its devious work. Finally he stopped squirming all together and lay still, And so I proceeded in this way throughout the chamber, then crossed the room to check on my minion.

What I came upon was a disgrace, Aparantly too enthusiastic he slaughtered them all in their sleep. Blood dripped from the walls and chunks of flesh were strewn about, but at least I learned one thing, these were effective combat slaves.



And thats part 1... part 2 tomorrow maybe, tell me what you think! ;)

But then something unexpected and marvelous happened. As if sensing my desire while probing the still living mans mind he suddenly started changing to suit ME. He was aquiring my atributes, Tentacles sprouted from his back and his eyes started shifting position. What a sight! I withdrew from him and closed the door for now, wanting to observe and make sure he was suitable for the cause first. After all, I had plenty of time, These two were the only due on duty for the day.

I looked upon him through the various monitors inlaid in the wall. Watched closely as he first rose to his feet, Shaking his head, his hair replaced by tentacles. I watched him look around with confusion and alarm as if seeking something, and then he closed his eyes and seemed to wait. I decided it was probably safe and best to get to work. Opening the door he opened his eyes and stared at me, I commanded him to move into the other room and he did so obediantly. Knowing as I did the entire layout in the base it was little work making my way to the living quarters. This was the most important part of my escape of course, I knew not what my body was capable of taking in punishment and needed to not be discovered untill I was ready. So I hid in a closet, Simple and effective, My minion waiting in a similer closet in the other room. He knew what to do and I hope he was up to the task!

I grew a skeleton, A respiratory system, Those first moments of gasping breath were wonderous! I had not known I had this kind of power. Neither it seemed did the other man in the lab that day, For he came in to see what the commotion was. I figured to myself, If this much power came from a dead person, what must an alive one feel like? He advanced upon me with his own shock stick, Not very bright they were, and I deflected it away with my newly formed hand. Indeed I was bipedal now, what a sensation! Grabbing the rod from the awestruck man I cracked him over the head with it, Knocking him unconcious. I then knelt down and let my tentacles run into his mouth and nose. Absorbing his essence and becoming stronger and smarter yet.

This time a wealth of knowlege came into my brain, it seemed I was absorbing his very memories. Incidentally I learned all about the layout of the facility, the defences, security, everything! It was from this I learned of the emprie he belonged to too. The Terrans were a plague that blundered across the universe destroying everything they encountered, I was an experiment designed to see if they could learn to adapt things to their cause. It seemed I was a success. I would take the knowlege and tactics of the Terrans and spread myself across the galaxy, Striving to aquire all of the knowledge, and technology available, While simultaneously taking the best of the best in physical atributes aswell.

But first, I needed an army. I had no idea how to go abouts making more of my own kind because aparantly I had the misfortune of killing my creator. He was the first man I assimilated. Well that wouldn`t do at all.
