Wolf Company
Despite the efforts of the commander to hurry this, it is impossible. The men finally get to the storage and it is barricaded and full of traps. It seems someone locked themselves in on the other side and placed a ton of mining equipment, modified it and locked him self in. All the mining equipment had been placed in front of the door in a traping manner. Beams, lasers, explosives and what not.
He or she seem to have sprayed in front. "Try going trough. I dare you."
There seem to be several attempts to get trough. It is obvious that it has ended very badly.
Limbs and blood is scattered around.
The fuel is easily recovered, as no one really needed it. Everyone wanted the food and water.
The baricaded doors of the storage are opened by one of the soldiers from the administrators office.
His body was found in his office. He seems to have offed him self.
Upon further inspection of the office. The camera monitors were found. But the room for the storage has no video coverage. Everything suggests it was intentionally ripped off. Sound still work however.
One of the soldiers speaks into the microphone: "Uh...helloooo..."
A violent backlash of monstrous words is returned: "YOU WILL NOT GET MY FLESH! NOT MY SKIN! AAAAAAAAAAA! THE VOICES AGAIN! THE VOIIIIIIIICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ES!"
Soldier: "Jesus..."
A sergeant notices the conversation and steps trough to the microphone , pushing the soldier aside.
Sergeant: "Look. We don't want your flesh nor your skin. We just want the food and water."
The lunatic responds: "OOOOH BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY ALL WANT! YOU WILL NOT GET MY FOOD! NOR MY WATER! I NO SHAKE LIKE OTHERS! I NO EAT HUMEN!"
He seems to have serious mental scarring and issues. It is questionable if he could be reversed to an earlier state over time. A state where he was, normal.
Sergeant: "Can you tell us what happened here?"
The lunatic: "NO FOOD! NO WATER! THEY EAT EACH OTHER! I RUN! I LOCK! I STEAL ALL FOOD AND WATER! THEY NO WANT RATION!"
Sergeant: "Right."
The lunatic: "NO RIGHT! WROOOONG! WROOOOOOOOOONG! VOICES BAD! GO AWAY!"
Sergeant: "Can you at least turn off the traps and disarm the explosives?"
The lunatic:" NO! NO! YOU NO EAT ME! I LIVE!"
The sergeant keeps trying to reason with the lunatic.
Sergeant: "We are, soldiers, an army, we can help you. We are going to starve if you don't let us in. We can take you away from here."
The lunatic: "Raaargh....you take me?! WHERE?! Doesn't matter...me want leave! ME WANT GO HOME! Mommy...*sobs*."
Sergeant: "Just...disarm it all."
**Silence.**
Sergeant: "God loving damn it."
The audio log plays in your quarters. You and some of your men, listen to it.
Log begins.
**Banging on a heavily barricaded door.**
**A somewhat ludacrious voice speaks.**
"Samson...that you?! Samsoooon...I can...I can smell you!"
"Samson! Let us in! We're hungry Samson!"
**Something is heard in the background.**
"WHO THERE?!"
"FRESH MEAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
**The person runs off, a female voice is heard in the background. Your only guess is canibalism.**
Unknown 1: *Whisper* "Oh thank god...he left...they know I'm here...I have to barricade...I have to do something...I don't wanna die."
Unknown 1: *Whisper* "In case something happens to me, you need to know what happened."
Unknown 1: *Whisper* "Some of the men, when the food got low and everything started being rationed, turned to canibalism. At first...people began dissapiering...but then it spread like a plague. Everyone turned to it. Like animals they ate each other. Formed packs, survival of the fittest. Some drank blood instead of water to quench their thirst. I'm not even sure how that works.
Unknown 1: *Whisper* "And then, silence. Only a few remain...I hope they starve out before I do...I got my self a matress...I'll...piss in the corner...or...something. The storage has food and water...I'll manage..."
Unknown 1: *Whisper* "Engineer Samson logging off...
Unknown 2: "SAMSON! I STILL SMELL YOU!!!!!!!"
Log ends.
One of your soldiers suggests to simply blow up the barricades.
The other disagrees and thinks that would seal off the whole storage and perhaps destroy the contents.
Altho your sergeant claims he can get trough to the lunatic and convince him to disarm.
One of the corridors lights up with gunfire. Then silence.
AFR
So it is, that the perimeter is extended and the permanent building deployed. It will take quite sometime to errect a proper settlement. But with the hospitable conditions, it will work out.
The soldiers which set out to find the teens, about ten kilometers out find two corpses. Fresh. Eaten down to the bone and unrecognizable. There's a fair ammount of bile on the remains of the clothing. One of them pukes at the sight. They report that the teens are dead. The colonists demand a burial and mourn the loss of the two.
It is now obvious there are predators on this planet. The researchs report creatures which live off the plants and grass. But they were unable to capture any of them. Predators are nowhere to be seen. A birdlike nest was found. An egg was retrived and placed in a secure observation glass box.
The engineer lead demands permission to head out into the mountains and study the composition with the scientists in order to determine if they can mine building materials and similiar.
