After the whole fiasco with the accidental-release of the bearwolves and seeing as I've spent most of my time recently scouring Twitter to stop some maniac summoning the dead, I almost forgot that Halloween was right around the corner! For anyone who visits Research Lab 3C in the near future, you'll see that I've added some nice Halloween decorations to get us all in a spooky mood. I've strewn cobwebs across the entire office! It looks very impressive. Unfortunately, I "might" have not had much money to buy actual decorations and I "might" have found these inside the Quarantine bin outside a "possibly" shady looking shop downtown. The fact is, these are actual cobwebs. And as it turns out, they still contained some eggs when I was hanging them to the ceiling. And they may have now hatched. Don't worry, I've done my research. The spiders are very very tiny so they're quite hard to spot. Luckily, their bite isn't fatal! That's a relief! It'll only render you in agonising pain for about 2 hours before leaving a large red blister. So yeah, anyone who works in Research Lab 3C... You might have to watch out. There's quite a lot of them. Hey, I guess I made it more spooky for us though! Isn't that the spirit of Halloween?
Lets see.... ah. That lab is in the west side of the base. Looks like I'm heading to one of the east strongrooms until this is all over.
Treble, you guys have flamethrowers down in the armory, yeah? I don't ordinarily jump to such extremes from the outset but... Fire seems like a viable method of disposal.
I also snuck a type 7 evo suit out. Should keep even the most rabid spiders at bay. I suggest you do the same
I more meant to go into Research Lab C and deal with it there. Also we have plenty of type 7s at Micro C so I'm good.
Okay so we have good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm pretty certain Research Lab 3C is now spider-free. The bad news is that they managed to get out and are now spreading across the whole of HQ. I suggest turning off the AC system in case they're using the vents.
Got it. Flaming everything that isn't where I'm standing. . . . God, this must be what Daedulus feels like ALL THE TIME
Maybe you should've evacuated the building before you starting flaming things... I've just had to send a new recruit off to the hospital with major burns.
Maybe you should've evacuated the building before you started releasing super poisonous spiders into the air vents
Micro C is sealed, please don't flame at us. Currently working on a bioagent to counter the spiders, gimme some time.
Damn. I've never heard of this "Adepta sororitas" before, but they make some wicked flamethrowers. I haven't even needed to refuel this one.
Hey guys, quick question. What do you do if a flaming spider the size of your fist bites you on the arm. And could I get that answer as soon as possible, preferably before my arm falls off.
Well my first suggestion would be to immediately sever the arm. Seeing as that is an inevitability rather than an option, I'd preemptively go over to the bionics lab.
@Treble, they are almost definitely going to want that back. Probably more trouble than its worth to keep. @Godel, head down to Micro C, I've got a lab tech who's been bitten and I'm working on synthesizing an antivenom. Despite Dylan's assurances, it appears that the venom cause more harm than simple pain and blistering. I'm going to vent the bioagent through the building's HVAC system, if you smell bananas maybe try to stay low to the floor to avoid inhaling too much of it. It's designed to only harm the spiders but I can't guarantee that it won't cause any weird side effects, haven't had time for extensive trials.
@MidDipper I'm pretty sure this is an artifact from the Time Crash. They're not going to be around to want this back for quiet some time.
Okay guys don't worry. I've found a solution! After getting bit earlier I decided to do what I'd usually do on Halloween and get ridiculously drunk. It seems that alcohol lessens the effects of the bite! All we need is for every Agent to regularly intake alcohol and we don't have to worry about the spider infestation.
