Lab Notes

"Hendelson exposed a lab mouse to XE037 under control conditions. I'm not sure how he got permission for the project. The results were interesting: rapid uptake into the mouse's cellular tissue followed by what we presume to be a die-off, fitting previous observations that XE037 doesn't seem to be able to survive outside its native planar material. XEDRA command is authorizing a biological research wing to take over XE037 property analysis."

"We observed some unusual changes in Hendelson's original XE037 mouse today. It increased in weight by over six hundred percent, so we got a dissection authorized. It had grown a duplicate heart in its pelvis and a new glandular organ that secreted some kind of acidic ooze, it melted our scalpels. We captured some of the ooze and sent it for further analysis. It seems XE037 has unforeseen mutagenic properties. Good thing we're wearing our hazard suits.",

"Dr. Dionne put one of her own blood samples through the mass spec on negative space mode today, on a whim. What she found got all of us going. Turns out we're all infected with XE037. We've quarantined the lab until we can find out how protocol was breached. Every one of us can't stop thinking about what happened to Hendelson's mouse. How did Melchior miss this? God help us.",

"After we found the mutation in Henderson's [sic] mouse, we checked a few of the others. Most weren't so dramatic, but a few others had developed similar changes. Size increase is the most common, but a couple others had strange new organs. One had tentacles squirming under its skin.",
