An umineko commission i did at ala!

[brandwhorestarscream]

BEHOLD!! At last, proper designs and visualizations for the cybermorphs! As I'm sure you can guess, these three are civimorphs, the subspecies sired by Orion Pax 🤭 such precious little morphlings!!

Full art credit goes to @avisitor160721 who did just god-tier work on this commission! I couldn't be happier with it 🥰 I'm still losing my mind over their wittle heart-shaped tails tbh AND the little xenomorph doll!!

The Great Square of Pegasus // Ireneusz Nowak

Read below the cut for some info about some of the stars in this image as well as an annotated image to guide the eye!

Starting with Pegasus first, in order of brightness:

Scheat (β Pegasi) is a red giant star that forms the upper right corner of the Great Square. It is about 196 light years away and has swelled to over 100 times the size of the Sun. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase Al Sā'id meaning "the upper arm".

Markab (α Pegasi) is a blue-white star located about 133 light years away, marking the lower right corner of the Great Square. Its name comes from an Arabic word markab meaning "the saddle of the horse".

Algenib (γ Pegasi) is a blue subgiant star about 470 light years away and marks the lower left corner of the Great Square. It has a mass of about 9 times that of the Sun. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-jānib meaning "the flank".

Matar (η Pegasi) is a yellow-white star about 196 light years away. It is a binary system, with the primary being about 25 times larger than the Sun. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase Saʽd al Maṭar meaning "lucky star of rain".

Homam (ζ Pegasi) is a blue star about 204 light years away. It is only about 4 times as large as the Sun, but is emitting over 200 times the light. The origin of the name is unclear, but it likely comes from the Arabic phrase Sa'd al Humam meaning "lucky star of the hero."

Sadalbari (μ Pegasi) is a yellow giant star about 113 light years from Earth and is about 9 times the size of the Sun. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase saʿd al-bāriʿ meaning "the lucky star of the splendid one."

ι Pegasi is a binary star system about 39 light years away. The primary is a yellow-white star about the mass of the Sun but 1.5 times the size.

λ Pegasi is a yellow giant star about 365 light years away. It is about 1.5 times the mass of the Sun, but over 28 times the size of the Sun.

Next up are the few stars in Andromeda, in order of brightness:

Alpheratz (α Andromedae) is a binary star system that forms the upper left corner of the Great Square. The primary is a blue-white star with about 3.5 times the mass of the Sun. The entire system is located about 97 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase surrat al-faras meaning "navel of the horse".

Mirach (β Andromedae) is a red giant star about 200 light years from Earth. It is only about 2.5 times as massive as the Sun, but has swelled to over 85 times that of the Sun. Its name comes from the Arabic word mīzar meaning "girdle".

δ Andromedae is a triple star system about 105 light years from Earth. The primary is a orange giant star about the mass of the Sun, but about 13 times the size.

μ Andromedae is a blue-white star about 130 light years from Earth. It is about twice the mass and three times the size of the Sun.

ν Andromedae is a binary star system about 620 light years from Earth and appears very close to the Andromeda Galaxy on the sky. The primary is a blue star about six times as massive as the Sun.

Finally, two stars in Pisces:

ν Piscium is a binary star system about 365 light years away. The primary is an orange giant star about 1.6 times the mass of the Sun with almost 35 times the size.

τ Piscium is an orange giant star about 169 light years away. It is slightly more massive than the Sun, but 10 times the size.

Are there more snake people like Grindle? And how did they come into existence?

There are quite a few of the naga folk! A full naga is a full snake whilst Grindel is a half-naga, half-human. They live in the European, Pacific and Southern Caverns systems.

However, Grindel is quite special for where she lives. Within the European Caverns (the north-most cavern system), it is against the naga's culture to love another race. With the ongoing war that rages over their homeland between the harenoids and the molenoids, the nagas distanced themselves from the other races as they chose to fight over the cavern rather than help the residents who were being hurt inside it.

Grindel's birth was seen as a sin, a forthcoming of the bad times. Her father was a human travelling merchant who was one of the only who were allowed to trade with the naga folk. He had courted and swoon over Grindel's full naga mother, leading to Grindel's existence. The hybrid was mocked and beaten by the elders of the naga clan, and bullied by the others. This spite all boiled to the execution of the mother once Grindel was in her mid teens. She dared never to set tail back in that village again.

Here's some other naga folk I've designed!

Two more Enlightened Council Commanders; Omicron and Lambda

Grindel's mother, Hafia and a hybrid from the Pacific Caverns, Daku

Plus some bonus scenes; "Snaky tea time with Lady Garter and Grindel" and "You're the Key to Everything" of Daku and the Pacific Cavern's Infurnus; Waru

for my fake mmo plot here take my beloved two grown men and their online daughter who doesnt have tact (they try to teach her how to be nice online and unfortunately it's not going super well)

Mister Delta - a mage in game who really enjoys PvP and is a high ranker. He's a teacher irl and his last name is Change so he made a stupid chemistry joke for a username.

Lord Kappa - wanted to be King Kappa but it was taken so he's just vibing with a different honorific. Is a chef irl. Has a very big crush on Delta.

Little Lambda - the actual teenager (like baby teen, 13/14 or something) who doesn't really have friends in school. Mostly interacts with her dad irl who calls her "little lamb" and when she realized it was taken online, she googled "words that start with lamb" and went with lambda with no further research. Has zero online etiquette but she's working on it..... kinda.

(her apology was "I'm sorry that you're gay and didn't want people to know" and so Kappa was like "great thank you for this apology." and now he's like WELP my crush knows I'm gay now but we're online so it's fine and nothing will come from this and it's fine)

[the-unlucky-foster]

Is it weird that in my Omegaverse (or in this case, Lambdaverse) that female Alphas (actually called Deltas because the N@zis ruined it for them) have a double uterus?

I mean, they have one that leads to the hyena-clitoris made to expel semen, and one to carry pups. However, female Deltas were more likely to die giving birth if they were to get pregnant, (e.g, my character Taami died giving birth to her three pups) before C sections were safe.

I forgot to mention, in my verse, oestrogen and testosterone directly impacts the Wolf person's dynamic. For example, male Omegas (or Lambdas) have more estrogen in them, and when they take testosterone, they sort of “change” dynamics. Their uterus will still be there, but they are more likely to sire pups. And yes, in my verse, male Lambdas are able to sire pups, but it's pretty rare without testosterone supplements.

Addendum X-8 Part 1

After the incident with the anomalous leeches on the train as well as the disaster at the mansion, both of which were related to Group of Interest: The Umbrella Corporation, the Foundation decided to take action. First it was time to take down their main company within Raccoon City. To ensure maximum success since the last two mission nearly ended in failure given the number of casualties, multiple MTFs were deployed. A massive Joint Task Force was created it was called JTF Apollo-6 "Acid Rain" and was comprised of MTF Beta-7, MTF Gamma-5, MTF Delta-45, MTF Zeta-9, MTF Iota-10, MTF Lambda-12, MTF Pi-1, MTF Chi-7, MTF Apollo-4, and MTF Dyonsysus-1. 

This operation was massive, but it had to be as Umbrella was a large corporation and had lots of mysterious and dangerous power within. Better to put all cards on the table and stop the threat that is Umbrella before it becomes an unkillable tyrant later like so many Groups of Interest. 

***

Four cars and a Foundation escort truck were driving into the city each one besides the truck, were filled with MTF units. The car in back was the only one that had MTF units with their armor on as the others had MTF Pi-7 and were dressed the same as police officers of Raccoon City to help stabilize the situation. This car had a single Beta-7, Zeta-9, Lambda-12, and Chi-7 unit within the car. Due to the unpredictable nature that has been reported form the experiments of Umbrella Corporation by previous encounters, it was decided they would be needed as well. There was no doubt that Umbrella knew they were coming to Racoon City and were planning to escape by any means necessary.

"I wouldn't put it past those fuckers to unleash SCP-AAY onto the people to cover their asses."

"That would be stupid, the stuff is so infectious it can counter even Foundation medicine. Honestly gives me the creeps."

"Well not all medicine, apparently that rookie Rio found that those weird plants can counter the virus."

"Oh yeah, her names Rebecca, right? Can't believe she found that out by superstition alone."

"I think you mean the Bloody Rabbit, everyone thought she was a pushover but after recruitment she proved to be a badass in her own right."

"Alright enough chit-chat, we're coming up on a gas station, the boss wants us to stop there while we radio the evocation team in the city. Apparently, there's some heavy interference and he wants to clear the signal and get confirmation on the status of the city before we proceed." The cars and truck start driving to the gas station though as they saw several police cars parked there as well. 

"What the hell? Did we walk into a crime scene?"

"The world's ending but no one knows, can't blame em for still having to deal with the bullshit of everyday life. Let's just do our best to stay out of it." Just then, Leon showed up and was heading towards the entrance of the gas station. By doing so he stumbled across Claire and shot the zombie behind her. 

"Woah what the hell?!"

"Who's firing?! Put your weapons down!"

"Argh!" All MTF units then turned to see one of them dragged over their car and now getting eaten by a horde of zombies. All MTF units quickly started firing on the zombies while Leon and Claire joined them to help.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"God damn it! This shouldn't be happening!"

"All units get to your cars and into the city! We have to go there now!" All MTF units did as ordered, though one of the MTF units noticed Claire and Leon quickly getting overwhelmed by zombies. He shot a few of them to clear a way and then waved to get their attention.

"Come on! Hurry!" He and another MTF unit continued shooting down zombies as they surrounded them. Finally, Claire and Leon made it to the car, and the MTF units got in after them. The driver then stomped on the gas, and they drove out of there. 

"All units this is the captain! We have confirmed two casualties! Repeat, two casualties! Does anyone refute?"

"Negative Captain no further casualties reported here?"

"Uh, Captain we do have two civilians with us in the rear."

"Uh, actually I'm a cop at-"

"Quiet."

"Alright then, everyone! Begin recording! As of this moment the operation is starting. We still haven't heard anything from the units within the city so unfortunately, we're going to have to assume the worst. But that doesn't deny that we still have a mission and there are still civilians to be saved. So, let's get this done."

"Yes Sir!"

Plague: Alright its recording Boss. 

Death: Good, get those civies processed just in case.

Unknown: Uh, as I was trying to say I-

Plague: Hold on one second... Okay now one at a time say out loud what you'd prefer to be called.

Unknown: Uh... Leon?

Plague: Oh come on... okay... okay got it. Now you ma'am.

Unknown: Oh uh... 

Plague: God damn it, please JUST say your name!

Unknown: Ah-! Sorry I just don't understand-

Plague: MA'AM! NAME! NOW!

Unknown: Claire!

Plague: Jesus! Was that really so hard?! 

War: Give it a rest Plague their civilians they don't understand what's going on so go easy on them, okay? For fucks sake.

Leon: Okay as I've been trying to explain I'm a cop! Though I'm new, I was stationed at Raccoon City, today is... supposed to be my first day. 

Famine: ... Sorry man, sounds rough, but in our line of work you count as a civilian too. 

Claire: Do any of you understand what's going on here?

Death: Your guess is as good as ours, we were just supposed to help with evacuating the city. We expected disaster but nothing like this.

Claire: Evacuation for what? 

Famine: That's classified ma'am.

Claire: Hm. So, your all military then? I've never seen those kinds of armor or symbols on the military before. What's your division called?

Death: That's also classified. No more questions.

Claire: I have a right to ask.

Death: No one's denying that ma'am, but for now you're just going to have to be satisfied when we say, its classified. 

Claire: Hm... Fine...

Leon: Uh, so what's the plan now then? 

Death: We lost contact with people inside the city, we need to find them and figure what's going on as well as what's up with all the zombies. 

Plague: If we can find out what's going on we can get you two to a safe area where all the other civilians are and take control of the situation before things get worse. 

Leon: Let me know if I can help, I know you think I'm a civilian, but I can help.

Death: ... We'll let you know sir, for now just sit tight, we still need to assess the situation. 

***

The team drove into the city, they later confirmed they saw the streets being completely abandoned. There were no people, no law enforcement, no Foundation agents, not even zombies. 

Claire: Where is everyone?

Famine: Probably dead.

Everyone looked at Famine in anger, though Clare being without a helmet, was the one who Famine noticed the most. 

Famine: What?! Not a lot of conclusions to go off of. 

Death: Zip it Famine, now's not the time for jokes.

Famine: Wasn't trying to make one. But sorry Boss.  

Claire: Famine?

Death: Code names, we're meant to use them for the duration of the mission ma'am. 

Claire: Why?

War: Don't know, higher ups are always paranoid like that. 

Death: Shit, still though, we're pretty deep in the city where is everyone.

Plague: I'm going to try the radio again. Evac team this is Rescue Squad 3-5 ready to receive orders, over... Evac team! This Rescue Squad 3-5, we've been attacked by SCP-AAY-1 instances. Containment is a failure, repeat containment is a failure we need an update on your end now! Over.

Claire: Wait containment? Did you know this was going to happen.

Plague: Shut the fuck up its classified! Evac team come in!

Evac Team: Re... Report...

Plague: Evac Team! I hear you but you're breaking up! What is your status?!

Evac Team: Umbrella... Knew... Resistance... Infection... Entire City... Lost... Survivors... Police Station... Overrun! 

Plague: Evac Team say again, what is the status of the Police Station? Are you at the Police Station? Over... Evac Team are their survivors? Over... God damn it! 

Death: Its alright Plague give it a rest; we need to go to the police station anyways. According to our sources that place was designed to be the safest area to go to anyways.

Leon: Uh that might be easier said than done.

Everyone looked forward and sure enough there was a road blockaded preventing them all from advancing. 

Leon: Guess we're walking.

Claire: Uh, more like running. 

Claire pointed out of the windows to show a pair of zombies eating a corpse. 

Famine: Fuck... Called it though.

Death: Alright everyone out of the car now, you two stay in here, don't come out until we give the all clear. 

Leon: I can help sir.

Death: Watch our backs then, make sure none of those undead freaks ambush us.

Suddenly zombies popped up all around the car and started banging on the doors to get in. 

War: Got damn it! Everyone hand on I'm going to reverse and ram these freaks!

Plauge: Boss! We got a bogie heading right towards us!

Everyone in the car turned to the back window to see the lights of a large truck heading right toward them at high speed. 

Death: Fuck! Everyone, hang on!

They all braced as the truck impacted the car. The resulting impact did damage the car but thanks to it being reinforced with Foundation metals it survived the impact and managed to break through the blockade boarders. Recording is briefly interrupted by the impact but picks up after all six participants leaving the car. Though according to Captain Death, the oil tank in the truck exploded nearly killing everyone present. 

Recording resumes.

Leon: HEY! You guys okay?!

Claire: Ugh, yeah beaten up a little but fine.

War: Fuck! Hostiles!

War and Death pull out their pistols and start firing, Famine gets his assault rifle, and Plague her SMG. They start shooting at the zombies surrounding them and protecting Claire and Leon. 

Claire: Just go to the police station I'll meet you there.

Death: Oh no you don't! 

Death walked up to the burning car and started kicking it out of the way, so the two groups weren't separated anymore.  

Claire: How- How did you do that?

Death: ... It's classified, now move your ass. 

Claire sighed in anger as she ran with the rest of the group. Now together then formed a small circle to started shooting at the zombies.

Death: War! How far from the police station. 

War: Uh... go there's a short cut through an alleyway... there! 

Death: Everyone, follow him!

The group moves down the alleyway while the MTF units continue to gun down the zombies that follow them. Thankfully when out of the alleyway they quickly find the police station though there are more zombies, so the MTF units shoot as many as possible while running around the rest. Once they get past the front gates, Claire locked it and they all managed to calm down now that they are in a safe area.

Death: God, fuck... the situation is more fucked than I thought.

Plague: I don't understand, with the Evac team here, they would have alerted us right away. How could this have happened without us knowing?

Death: Let's find out, come on, everyone in the station. 

The six of them entered the station, upon doing so they were immediately confronted with armed individuals. Three of which were local police forces, one was a civilian, and the other two were fellow MTF units.

Unknown: Oh fuck, you guys aren't Zombies.

Unknown: Or those umbrella bastards, thank god.

Death: Everyone, stand down. We're on the same side. 

They all collectively let out a sigh of relief as they lowered their guns. 

Unknown: Alright, all of you get in here. 

The four units with Claire and Leon entered the police station and the two other MTF units closed the door. 

Death: Alright I need a situation update. What the hell is going on and why weren't we updated?

Unknown: Here let us link up first. It will help with the recordings.

Plague: Oh, let me I got the main recorder here.

Unknown: Perfect. 

Plague walked up to the MTF unit and showed him her Foundation Computer Screen Pad and he linked it up with his own. Claire and Leon saw the device and was shocked by it. 

Water: Alright linked up now. That better? 

Plague: Yeah perfect. 

Death: Alright good, we can review your recordings later but right now we need the basic run down.

Claire: Yes, please. Though I would like to know more details.

Water looked at Claire in confusion then Death who shrugged in annoyance.

Clare: Uh, Claire Redfield I'm a journalist, or I mean trying to be one.

Fire: Oh, great not another one. 

Claire: Okay, look I know this is some kind of military operation but there are lives at stake here, so I think the public has a right to know what's going on here. 

Alyssa: Don't bother, they'd shoot you before they say anything.

Claire then turned to Alyssa who walked up to her. 

Alyssa: Alyssa Ashcroft, Newspaper Journalist for Raccoon City. I tried interviewing these guys wondering how they knew to evacuate most of the people. Who exactly were those people who tried to kill us were. AND why the city was being flooded with what appears to be mutant monsters and people who can make fire form the palm of their hands but every time I ask they say-

Alyssa then pointed to Fire who was standing beside her.

Fire: ... Its classified. 

Alyssa: See? They're not going to talk no matter what we do.

Death: In that case you know I'm not going to get a situation report until you clear the room. 

Alyssa: Yeah, yeah. Come with me you two. 

Alyssa then led Claire and Leon to the away to the main hall while the six MTF units and three RC police stayed. 

Water: Yeah, don't worry about these guys we already debriefed them. Had to under Protocol "Join or Die" given the situation.

Death: Yeah, I figured. So, what's the situation.

Water: We're from Evac Team 2-1. We're a seven-unit team. Code names: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Light, Darkness. We uh... We lost Air and Darkness, Air being our captain so as his second I'm in command now. 

Death: What about Doctor Wicked? Didn't he volunteer to oversee this operation? 

Fire: Nah, the doc ran off earlier, he was helping this lady run away from this large monster. I think it was an SCP-AAY-5 instance. 

Plague: Seriously?

Water: Yeah, their all over the city, each one's different form the other though so we've mainly just tried to keep our distance. We lost quite a few civilians and other MTF units to them. Its actually because of the one chasing the doc that we got delayed on the evacuation. I think the others made it out okay though. 

Famine: How long has this been going on? 

Fire: Ugh, the entire day! I don't know what happened but as soon as the sun started going down the police and hospitals started reporting riots. There were people killing and dying everywhere. It slowed down the evacuation when we were only 27% done. Then... Then we found out it wasn't riots, people were turning into SCP-AAY-1 instances and fast. The hospitals and staff were the first to fall, our units and the police were scattered so we didn't know what was going on. 

Water: Then things got worse, umbrella choppers flew over the city deploying those SCP-AAY-5 instances everywhere. They were killing MTF units and civilians left and right. We only took down one or two of them at best. Actually, I don't even think we got them, more like just temporarily weakened them. I heard they tend to come back stronger when injured. 

Elliot: Then those Umbrella Bastards started sending people in high tech suits to kill even more people. There were guys in big robot armor, one's that were practically indestructible, there was even an invisible asshole or two. It was a slaughterhouse at that point. Worst off they set-up jamming signals all across town completely cut us off from the outside world.

Plague: So that's why we couldn't contact you. 

Water: Yeah, sorry about that by the way, if we could, we would have warned you. Without communications, those of us that could get out of the city did almost immediately. Everyone else had to find somewhere to hold down and that's why we are here. The sad thing is there are probably still people out there but with the zombies flooding the streets, SCP-AAY-5 instances blocking all the main roads, and Umbrella mercenaries watching over the rooftops It's hard to say if we can ever find them let alone get out ourselves.

Famine: So basically, we're fucked.  

Elliot: Not entirely, I found this earlier, I think it's a map to a secret passageway out of here. Though we got to be careful. Only the main hall of the station is safe, the rest of the building is crawling with those things. 

Death: Fuck, okay I'll try to find a way to reach this passageway, once I'm sure it's safe to go through I'll give the signal and you can follow through. From there we'll resume the evacuation operation and get these people out of here.

Elliot: Oh, thank God, I almost died several times because of those monsters. 

Water: Don't go crying freedom yet Elliot, we don't even know if this passage works. Good luck Death. Let me know if you need me or any of my squad units or any other resources we have before you go. We got more people back there so feel free to select any extra helping hands. Some of them are just civilians but I tell ya, they are SURVIVORS. 

Death: ... I'll keep that in mind. 

***

The following is another recording form several of the MTF units form the Evac Team. The recording consists of the conversation between Claire, Leon, and various other survivors. 

Claire and Leon had just entered the back part of the Main hallway where they are shocked to see lots of survivors some of which are injured with MTF medics trying to treat them and other MTF units standing guard as a precaution. 

Claire: What is this? 

Alyssa: What's left of the rotting corpse that is Raccoon city. 

Leon: I don't understand, this is all that's left after a week?

Alyssa: After a day, this morning everything was just fine then these guys showed up to evacuate everyone. Problem was that's when the riots started, people started eating each other, then everyone started panicking and there were even people flying away or turning their skin into glass. 

Leon and Claire looked at Alyssa in confusion, but she nodded with confidence.

Alyssa: I swear I'm not lying! All of it, I tried to confirm with other people and they either got different stories or ones more insane than my own. 

Claire: So, they knew this was going to happen?

Alyssa: Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. I wish I knew sweetie, but unfortunately the men in black just aren't budging when it comes to information. 

Leon: They're not saying anything?

Alyssa: Nope, I even tried threatening a lawsuit against the US military, wanna know what they said in response... Nothing they just laughed. Then when I threatened to link all of this to the US military after we get rescued, they laughed harder. Can you believe that I threatened to expose this as a US government conspiracy, and they still think of me as a joke. 

Claire: Is that really what you believe? That this is related to the US government?

Alyssa: ... No, this whole situation has got Umbrella corruption written all over it. I knew that pharmaceutical company couldn't be trusted but I never expected this level of chaos... I was just expecting unethical experiments and intentionally poisoning customers to make them dependent on the company's product. Though zombies, monsters, mutants, and mercenaries... Well, I would call it the scoop of a century if it wasn't for the fact that I would sound like a lunatic to publish it and these damn soldiers won't confirm anything. 

Claire: Hmph, yeah, I noticed that, but right now there's only one thing I want to confirm.

Claire then walked up to one of the guarding MTF units. He noticed her and faced her with confusion.

Claire: I want to know where my brother is, his name is Chris Redfield. 

The MTF visibly shook at the sound of Chris's word but quickly looked away from Clare.

Earth: I'm afraid any information regarding Chris Redfield is classified.

Claire: What?! Why?! He's my brother I have a right to know where he is!

Earth: Ma'am I'm afraid the information is classified to even me. It isn't just that I will NOT give you the information, I simply CAN'T.

Claire raised her hands a little in anger and simply huffed as she walked away.

Marvin: Excuse me! Did you say you were looking for Chris?

Claire then noticed Marvin who had a visible bite on the lower right side of his stomach. He was being treated by one of the MTF medics. Claire walked up to him to ask more questions.

Claire: Are you alright? 

Marvin: One of those things bit me... worst part was, it was somebody I knew. 

Claire: I'm so sorry, do you know what those things are? I mean, they can't actually be zombies, right? 

Marvin: Sorry to tell you, but that's exactly what they are. And I'm gonna be one in a few hours. 

Earth: Don't talk like that Marvin, I can save you I just need more time. Please give me your arm.

Earth got out an injection gun and held out his other hand to take Marvin's.

Marvin: You're wasting that medicine on me.

Earth: Yeah, nice excuse, come on don't be a baby.

Marvin chuckled and gave his arm to Earth, who injected the medicine into him. He started coughing afterwards. 

Earth: That's a minor side effect, your throat will be dry for a little while, but it will get better until then stay hydrated.

Claire: He's going to be okay right? 

Marvin: Don't worry about me.

Marvin coughed some more; Earth handed him a water bottle to which he took a large drink out of. 

Marvin: Ah... Okay, so you wanted to know about Chris? Chris Redfield, right?

Claire: Yes, he's my brother.

Marvin: Is that right? Huh... Think I see the resemblance. Don't worry, that's not an insult.

Claire: Haha, yeah everyone feels the need to specify that. So uh, he's supposed to be a member of S.T.A.R.S. that means he's here right is he safe?

Marvin: Well-

Earth: Marvin! Don't.

Claire: Oh come on not you too, look he's my brother!

Earth: And he already made his choice.

Claire: What does that mean? And don't you dare say its classified!

Earth: ... It's Classified. 

Claire: Ugh! You can't treat civilians like this! Do you honestly think the US government is going to get away with withholding this much information! 

Earth was about to say more but Marvin raised his hand to stop him from speaking. 

Marvin: Relax, I'm just going to say what I know, and I barely know anything.

Earth: ... Be as vague as possible. Or else things will get ugly for both of you. 

Earth then walked away to let the two of them talk. Claire got close to Marvin so they could speak without being heard.

Claire: Okay be as specific as possible, where is my brother.

Marvin: Sorry Claire but I'm not being vague by choice. All I know is he got recruited into some mission in Europe he said it was a vacation, but it didn't seem like he had a choice. 

Claire: ... So he's not in the city.

Marvin: Yeah, sorry you had to come to this hell hole in order to find that out. 

Claire: No, it's okay, I'm glad he's alive. But are you sure you don't know where he is.

Marvin: Nah, those men in black wouldn't tell us anything. 

Claire: Tch, these soldiers love their secrets huh? 

Marvin: Huh? No, no, I meant the ones with Chris, they were standing with him seemingly watching over him or something. 

Claire: What? Did you recognize them? Were the military representatives? 

Marvin: No, worse actually, there were UN agents.

Claire: What?! What does the UN want with Chris?!

Marvin: Ssssh! Look I don't know, they were just with him and escorted him out when he broke the news with us. He said he was also going to tell you so we didn't have to worry about you. You never got a message or anything?

Claire: No... Still... The UN? Hey! 

An MTF unit who just happened to be passing by looked at Claire as she called him out.

Claire: Are you UN soldiers? 

The MTF unit just starred at he for a short while then snorted and quickly started laughing, afterwards he walked away. 

Marvin: Yeah, get used to that. Other's kept trying to ask questions too but got nothing no matter what they said. Ironically, they ended up spilling everything to Elliot and the others because they didn't ask ANY questions. Unfortunately, I think they agreed to some kind of secrecy so good luck getting anything out of them either. 

Claire: Ugh, god damn it what the hell is going on. 

Leon: Hey! 

Leon then walked up to the two of them after noticing Marvin.

Leon: You're the Lieutenant! I was... I was supposed to report to you. 

Marvin: Oh yeah... Leon Kennedy, right? Your late rookie, thought given the shit show that occurred today I think it would have been better had you not shown up at all. 

Leon: No, I'm not going to leave when you could use all the help you can get. 

Marvin: Glad to hear it, these boys are definitely going to need your help getting these civilians out of here. 

Leon: Yeah, it looks like you could use a hospital. 

Marvin: No, look at me Leon, I'm already dead.

Earth: Enough with that talk, you're going to make it Marvin. I think I almost got you. 

Earth came back with his Foundation medical case; he placed it next to Marvin and took out a pill and an injection vial. 

Earth: Here take this pill first. 

Marvin looked at Earth still thinking the medicine was wasted on him, but he did as Earth asked and took it. 

Marvin: Augh, the wound doesn't hurt but its damn itchy now. 

Earth: Yeah, that's a side effect sorry, but here, this should help. 

Earth then placed the injector on Marvin's leg, and he was quickly filled with the medicine. 

Earth: Alright, how do you feel now? 

Marvin: Ugh, a little... woah, a little hyper, like my heart's beating pretty fast should this be-?

Suddenly screaming can be heard from the other side of the room, an MTF medic backs away from one of the medical beds and everyone sees a zombie chasing after him. They all scream for in terror, but the medic shoots the zombie in the head three times, and it fall to the ground now dead. The MTF unit cussed out in anger while everyone else was silent out of shock. However, Marvin grunts in pan as his bandages starts bleeding. 

Earth: What?! No, no, no! Shit!

Earth grabs a green spray bottle form his case and a small Band-Aid paper. He sprays it onto the paper, rips off Marvin's Band-Aid, and slaps that on his wound to prevent it from getting worse. He then grabs more band-aid and warps it around Marvin's waist to cover the bite wound. 

Earth: Fuck, SCP-AAY is eating the cells faster than I can regenerate them, what the hell. How the fuck should I-

Marvin then grabbed Earth's arm to force him to look him in the eyes.

Marvin: I'm not telling you again, you're wasting your damn medicine, now end it before I hurt somebody.

Leon: Woah, wait Lieutenant, maybe you should let him try at least to-

Marvin: Stay out of this rookie! I am not the priority! Earth, are you really going to risk the lives off all these people for my sake? You saw that other medic, he only got lucky when he had to shoot his patient! Don't make his mistake and just get it over with! 

Earth: ... I can't Marvin, I'm under orders to try everything to save you. If we can find out what works to cure you, we can do it again to cure everyone else. Or at least stop the rest of us form being infected. 

Marvin: ... Fine, but if you can't, then don't you dare hesitate. 

Earth sighed and left to check on their supply stash they had in the room, but Clair walked up to him and grabbed his arm.

Claire: So that's it? He's a guanine pig?! 

Leon: Claire, wait!

Claire: No! These people are crossing too many lines what the hell is SCP-AAY and what is going on? How can a medic treat his patients like a test subject during a pandemic. What even is this pandemic! Give us some answers goddamn it. You really think just because you're involved with the UN that you can walk over us like this! 

Earth: ... if you hate the UN so much then why don't you report them then. 

Claire just looked at Earth confused while he just walked away, she then caught Alyssa staring at her. Alyssa shrugged and sat on one of the couches. Claire and Leon then sat with her. 

Leon: I don't understand, how can they be so fearless of repercussions there should at least be one person that takes charge to ensure everyone is calm.

Mark: Yeah, you'd think.

The four of them then notice Mark walking towards them. 

Alyssa: Oh, and here we have Mark Wilkins, Vietnam War veteran and now hard worker of one of the top security companies of Raccoon City. Met him in a bar when the chaos started, thought he was a jackass at first for forcing a reporter like me to hold a gun, but he turned out to be a total sweety afterwards. 

Mark: Hm, you always know exactly how to get under someone's skin huh Alyssa?

Alyssa: Ha, you know you'd take a bullet for me. 

Leon: So uh, are you all the only survivors left in the city?

Mark: Probably not but there's no way to make contact with the others. 

Claire: Let me guess they haven't bothered trying.

Alyssa: No, they've been trying all day. They really do want to save as many as they can.

Claire: Really? Cause other than the medics I'm not getting that vibe. Though even that's a stretch, you saw how that other medic shot the guy?

Alyssa: He didn't have a choice sweetie, once you turn there's no going back.

Claire: But how do you know if the soldiers aren't telling us anything?

Alyssa: I get answers without asking. I just observe them and see what they do, how they react to certain situations, what the commonly do, how each individual contributes or lack thereof. You'd be surprised how you can get so much form so little. Like how Mark could tell that these guys are not military.

Mark: It wasn't easy to tell, they got the training to both take down hostiles and save civilians. They just do it while having absolutely no social skills. These guys don't know how to keep the peace at all, only how to maintain order. They're like a trained army for a dictator. 

Leon: You really don't think their military? 

Mark: No, or at least not a company I've ever seen before. I mean they got military patches, but I've never seen those symbols before. But then again, it's been a while since I served so they could just be new.

Alyssa: Or maybe a secret reserve that only exists for special situations like this one, ever thought of that. 

Mark: No, I'm not indulging in that conspiracy theory bullshit. I hate that crap, saying Bigfoot is real and shit. 

Suddenly one of the MTF units froze up when he heard "bigfoot" and suddenly started at Mark. The four of them noticed the MTF unit staring at them before he stopped and walked away. 

Leon: What the hell was his problem?

Alyssa: ... Call me crazy but I think that proves it. 

Mark: No, he was probably just confused, thinking I was going crazy or something, though I feel like that's not impossible given the circumstances. 

Death: Alright listen up! 

All the survivors and MTF units froze and saw Death with her units and the other police officers. 

Death: We got a way out of here but we're not sure it will work. Now I got a team of four units but that may not be enough. No, I'm only offering this to people who are really desperate enough. Do you want to get out of here now and risk getting bit by those things or would you rather wait here and hide. I won't lie, things aren't looking good so staying here should be the best option for most of you. But if you do come with us, you'll be one of the first to leave!

Leon: I'll go. 

Death: ... Alright who else, I can only fit one more volunteer! 

Claire: Me! I'll go! 

Leon: Claire?!

Mark: Hey what are you doing?

Claire: Getting answers... without asking.

Alyssa: Ha, smart. Good luck and watch your back, those disgusting zombies aren't the only horrors out there. 

Death: Tch, alright you can come to, but leave any conflict to us, you two are to act as observers only. Help us find any clues to escaping this place if you can.

Claire and Leon nodded and went with Death and her group to the sealed off entrance to the place where the map in the book pointed too. 

Death: Alright this should be it, you all ready? Alright let's get this done.

Death pulled the lever to the door and the shutters opened. War and Plague entered first and waved to the rest of them after confirming no hostiles in sight.

Death: Good, let's move!
