Somewhere in the outermost fringes of terran space, date unknown...
Audio Recordings of an unknown facility member:
Day 1: All but a few test subjects appear to have fatal reactions to strafez poisoning. The remaining test subjects will next be administered a highly potent disease.
Day 2: Disease has killed all but one of the remaining test subjects. Subject 1357.106 appears to have absorbed the disease into its own genetic code. Subject shows high potential.
Day 3: Unforeseen accident has occurred during the handling of the container. Test subject 1357.106 has come into contact with Commander Victor Crowley. Crowley almost died from the encounter, but the subject seems to have somehow managed to keep him alive. We are not sure how, but we suspect that the test subject may exhibit parasitic qualities that allow it to keep the host alive in order for it to live as well. As far as we can tell, Victor is mostly brain-dead. Further study is needed. We`re also going to need a replacement officer for Crowley soon.
Day 4: Crowley has come out of his seemingly brain-dead state, but it seems that he has forgotten a great deal of knowledge. He is relearning things at a highly advanced pace however. Crowley is almost ready for the next cycle of tests.
Day 8: Virus 106 seems to cause heightened aggression and strength in its host. We`ve never encountered anything quite like it before. Crowley tried to attack the researchers behind the observation glass this morning with no success. Perhaps we can find a way to restrain the destructive impulses and channel them to our liking.

99+ day(s) ago | The log book concept seems to be a relatively popular plot tool in some story lines, so I decided to use it :) |

99+ day(s) ago | Deathroe wanders around the round room - looking for a corner, chanting:
Viral, viral, viral, viral, viral, viral, viral ................................
with a malicious gleam in his eyes he seeks, unrelenting, unceasing |

Exule
99+ day(s) ago | does it? hmm... I was trying to keep some degree of connection between my story and the story line for virals. Meh, it`s just an intro so that I can lead into the rest of my story while having a beginning to go off of :) |

Victor stood back, looking on as his mindless drones began to reprogram a transportation vessel in the hangar of the now devastated research facility. In an effort to contain the outbreak of the deadly mind-controlling virus that had afflicted half the facility's personnel, someone had rigged various explosives to go off around the site. Fortunately, the man was killed before he could set up an explosive in the hangar bay, a move that would have left Victor trapped on this icy world with no means of escape. Just then he experienced a terrific migraine. It was the Voice. Victor and the virus shared a common consciousness. While he had complete control over his body, the virus still had a measure of control over his thoughts. The Voice spoke to him, telling him that he would need to travel to the neighboring world of Exule to establish a Hive World from which to expand the reaches of this new race that would come to be called the Viral 106, or simply the Viral. Immediately Victor understood his new purpose. The path ahead of him would be long and wrought with danger and bloodshed. He was confident though, because the Voice would guide him. With newfound purpose in mind, Victor boarded his ship. He ordered his followers to set a course for Exule and with that, the ship disembarked from the hangar and broke free of the planet's atmosphere. The galaxy had just been made a more dangerous place. |

99+ day(s) ago | Day 10: Subject has found a way to penetrate his confinement chamber. The facility has been put on lock down, but I do not know how long that will contain the threat. Victor has already infected others with Virus 106. Symptoms seem to take hold within minutes. Could this be a mutation in the strain that is causing such acceleration? Whatever the case may be, I am afraid that I shall not make it out of the facility alive. My only hope is that the safe room holds these abominations at bay and that my rations last until help arrives.
Day 11: What have we created? God forgive us for what we have done. I fear we have created a monster of unthinkable destruction. I do not have long before the door gives. Before I die, I want to make sure my secret does not die with me. During our observations, Virus 106 absorbed everything we tested on it except for one thing. The virus cannot survive a high dose of- (loud crash) OH MY GOD! NO! (a series of piercing screams tears through the air, followed by crack and a thud) |
