Characters Present
Rita Rossweisse
Alvitr
Raven
Start
The giant elevator platform finally reached the underground facility.
She stepped into a gigantic chamber. What shocked Rita most was its contents.
There were vats containing humanoid specimens that appeared eerily alien yet familiar.
Rita
This... this could only be...
Zombies. The re-animated corpses exhibited glowing marks of intricate patterns on their pallid skin.
Stigmata. Before Schicksal created artificial stigmata, only very, very few people bore these marks naturally.
Rita clenched her teeth as she studied every face within the vats.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she found no familiar faces, but that relief quickly turned into fury.
The specimens varied in size and age. Some exhibited Honkai tissue implants or white silica carapace.
Others had cybernetic body parts instead.
The entire chamber was a horror show designed to display the extent to which a human body could be mutilated.
Rita realized she was close to the roots of the dark secret.
Alvitr
Miss Rossweisse, are you alright? I'm detecting sudden increases in your blood pressure and heart rate.
< The screen goes black, then switches to the chamber, where the Captain will have control over one of Rita's battlesuits. >
< Defeat the enemies. >
< Enemies defeated. >
< Interact with the terminal. >
The hound gingerly leaped onto the main computer terminal and plugged itself in.
A large number of documents were displayed on Rita's visor. She quickly found the file she was looking for.
Data
"STIGMA. A most valuable technological legacy built into our very own biology."
Data
"It is not a product of natural evolution, but a Previous Era biotech construct that remains a mystery to us."
Data
"BeforeBefore Previous Era ended, complex sets of Honkai-resistance genes were inserted into a number of embryos."
Data
"The STIGMA results in distinct phenotypes of skin markings known as the stigmata."
Data
"Humans with STIGMA have better Honkai resistance and control that give rise to superhuman strengths."
Data
"However, each passing generation eroded the integrity of the STIGMA gene sets."
Data
"When the carefully constructed set is taken apart, the STIGMA itself became ineffective as well."
Data
"Though all humans carry STIGMA genes, only a few could naturally express STIGMA at a functional capacity."
Data
"Schicksal attempted to synthesize STIGMA gene inserts, but these clumsy copies are defective and dangerous."
Data
"On the other hand, revelations from the almighty serpent allowed our research to achieve true progress."
Rita
Serpent? The World Serpent?
Data
"We can now artificially interfere, activate, and transpose dormant STIGMA fragments for functional expression."
Data
"The transformation process was difficult. Many subjects were lost. A few became little more than animated corpses."
Data
"But those who survive the metamorphosis shall gain the ability to survive in a world filled with Honkai."
Data
"The cost to pay is steep, but the results justify the price."
Data
"Activation progress remains slow. The numbers fail to meet expectations. We plan to test on a populated city..."
Rita
Madness. They want to perform their test on an entire city...
A giant screen on the other side of the lab was suddenly switched on to show a face.
Raven
I happen to agree with you. But only sometimes.
