Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

February 7, 2020.

The size of the object has exceeded the palm of an adult man, and the object has shown relatively advanced intelligence.

Compared with other subjects, the subject is more curious about humans than fearful of humans.

February 9, 2020.

The subject's incubator malfunctioned, deactivating the atmosphere within the facility and leaving the subject briefly dormant.

The following content is presented by the individual video and dictation of Agent Reynolds ■■;

Frame point of view, recorded by a miniature camera on Agent Reynolds' collar.

The narrative begins.

February 9, 2020, 12:45 Haffa time.

Looking down at the planet Barnard b from the deep space at a height of 100 kilometers from the surface, I only feel that this planet and Mars in the solar system are simply "twin brothers".

Similar in size and landform, even the color of the soil on the surface of the planet is similar to that of Mars.

Perhaps the only difference is that because of Barnard's red dwarf, coupled with the difference in atmospheric composition, the color of Barnard b's atmosphere is really dark red.

At this time, a colony spacecraft the size of a frigate was flying synchronously in a lower orbit, relatively stationary with the ground.

And the surface that this colony spacecraft is aiming at is the scientific research station established by the "Exploring the Origin" organization.

Overlooking the scientific research station from a height of 100 meters.

Its layout is similar to the scientific research stations established by various countries on the Antarctic, but it covers a larger area, and there are cylindrical air valve passages between buildings.

The two civilian-use Pelicans were also parked on the north side of the scientific research station, and were covered with anti-sandcloth by the scientific research personnel to prevent the wind and dust on Barnard b from affecting them.

In the scientific research station.

The layout and style here are also similar to the scientific research stations on Antarctica.

And because of funding, the expedition team didn't have the money to install a virtual system at all, and the walls and sealed windows were the simplest ones.

However, this has no effect on the scientific researchers living here. After all, being able to see alien landscapes different from the earth is one of the reasons that prompted them to come here.

At this time, a 'security guard' wearing black security clothing and a quick holster on his waist was walking quickly through the air valve corridor to the biological experiment area built on the westernmost side,

This 'security guard' has a handsome face, at least 185cm tall, and neat short hair. He is the senior agent Umbrella placed in this expedition team, Reynolds ■■.

If he didn't know his true identity, it would be hard to imagine that this seemingly cynical man was actually Umbrella's senior agent.

However, Reynolds looked serious, as if he had encountered some serious situation.

"Di-! Di-!"

At the same time, the emergency lights in the corridor also began to flash, and a reminder came out:

"The adjustment system of the incubator is invalid, please rush to the biological experiment area for maintenance as soon as possible, repeat..."

As previously documented, the subject's incubator malfunctioned.

In addition to Reynolds, who was apparently the security captain of the scientific expedition team, a large number of engineers, scientists, and security guards also went to the biological experiment building.

Because the inside of the incubator is the goal of their trip, to find one of the strong evidences of early life in the universe.

Everyone, including the security guards who knew nothing about scientific research and biology, was also worried about the alien creature they named 'Kevin'.

Soon, nearly a hundred people rushed to the biological experiment area and crowded in a large biological laboratory.

At the end of the laboratory is the incubator containing the items, and a 'firewall' isolates the incubator.

Materials such as glass, alloys, and plastics used in the incubator are also specially manufactured to defend and isolate the items growing inside.

The incubator is the first 'firewall', and the second is the isolation wall built in this laboratory to prevent the project from leaking microorganisms harmful to humans.

Reynolds also came to the laboratory not long after, and using his superior physical fitness, he squeezed into the crowd regardless of the feelings of others and walked to the edge of the wall.

Through the special glass window installed on the isolation wall, he saw a black biologist hurriedly adjusting the device on the incubator, trying to reawaken the items inside.

Through the special glass of the incubator, everyone present can clearly see this white translucent creature with a cool starfish appearance.

Seeing this, Reynolds pushed aside the people on the side again, came to the intercom installed on the isolation wall, and asked the biologist in a deep voice:

"How is it doing?"

"It's not it, it's him! It's Kevin!" the black biologist, seemingly very offended by Reynolds calling the item 'it'.

Then he quickly adjusted the device on the box, and responded: "Although the engineer repaired the power supply outside, Kevin couldn't wake up at all, as if he had entered a dormant state again!"

"..."

After hearing the other party's reply, Reynolds continued to observe in silence, and his right hand was also unconsciously placed on the quick-draw holster around his waist.

Not long after, the black man saw that the subject was still not awake, so he put a small electric shock rod into the box, and then put his hands into the incubator through the soft rubber gloves connected to the incubator, preparing to stimulate the subject to wake up.

"Hey~!"

Upon first shock, the object did not respond.

but…

"Hey~!"

"Click-!"

But the moment the black biologist manipulated the electric shock rod for the second electric shock, the object suddenly jumped up and tightly wrapped the black man's right hand.

"Ah-! Ahh!"

The strength of the creature was so great that it crushed the bone of the black man's right hand.

!

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Help him out!"

Seeing that the black man's life was threatened, someone in the crowd immediately wanted to open the gate of the separation wall, ready to go in and save the black man.

"I'll see who dares!"

When Reynolds saw the project attacking the black biologist and someone wanted to open the sealed gate, Reynolds immediately pulled out the pistol in the holster and pointed it at the people who wanted to approach.

"Greg (Reynolds' false identity name)! What are you doing?!"

"team leader?"

Seeing Reynolds standing in front of the gate and threatening with a pistol, everyone was stunned, even the several security guards at the scene. They didn't understand why the captain, who is usually a 'cheap', suddenly pointed a gun at him. up.

"Ah...uh..."

When everyone outside the wall fell into a confrontation, the black biologist inside the wall also fainted due to extreme pain.

And the project seems to sense the black man's fainting, and let go of the black man.

Immediately afterwards, it began to try to stretch the soft rubber gloves on the incubator, but it was obvious that brute force had no effect on the gloves.

But it returned to the incubator, holding the electric shock rod with its petal-like tentacles.

There was a crisp sound of "Kaba~".

It broke off the electric shock rod, and then used the sharp end to successfully pierce the glove.
