Researcher Pass T.P

February 14, 2017

We have finally been able to capture a Fire Elemental. We've already put time into researching it previously, and thought we were done with this specific type of special infected, however something has changed. About a week ago, various scouts have reported that the Elemental's face has changed from an almost happy smile to a malicious, violent face, coupled with glowing red eyes. Many have been scared out of their wits by their new facial features.

It's possible that this could just be nothing but a facial feature change, and we'll take new pictures to add to our records anyway, but I fear this may be something different. Perhaps they have some sort of new attack, are more durable, or act different. We will have to see.

We have succesfully relocated the Elemental to our special containment cube which we use solely for Brutes and Elementals. Secured by an electrical lock.

Today, photos were taken and sketches were made of the new face. It is indeed quite malicious looking, but after the release of the now extremely common fireproof vest, we really don't have to fear it no matter how dangerous it looks. Some have proposed damage testing, as last time we had to damage the Elemental to provoke its Rebirth attack.

February 16, 2017

Preparements are being made for the damage test. We are currently refurbishing Ticker suits to use as protection against possible attack.

Plans for tomorrow:

Wear appropriate protection

Bring appropriate security (two scouts carrying the SPAS 12)

Fire three shots at the most with the Steyr. Four shots will kill.

Fire extinguishers will be used in the worst case scenario.

Live Log

11:03 AM

Preparations are finished, we are opening the small hatch to fire a few shots. Elemental appears agitated, is pacing around the containment cell. Takes periodic breaks to stare at researchers.

11:10

First shot is fired. 5 minute break given to observe changes. Elemental's face has remained the same, continues to pace around the cell. Elemental is simply walking back and forth now, almost calmly.

11:15

Second shot is fired. Elemental "health" can be estimated to be at about half, given previous information. Elemental has stopped walking. Perhaps it is too injured.

11:20

Elemental stared at researcher that fired the shot, and crouched down after the shot was fired. Red glow has been lost from eyes. Security is dispersing, nothing appears to have happened. Will disp

11:21

Large explosion has occured, appears to have come from the containment cell. Electricity is cutting out periodically. We cannot exit the room, as the electric locks have automatically secured themselves. We are attempting to brute force the door.

11:22

Something has changed. I can see movement in the cell.

11:23

A blue glow is present in the containment cell, electricity is out for good. We are stuck in a small room. It is completely dark. The Elemental is walking toward the containment door. Red glow returns to its eyes. The familiar swish of the security door to the cell is heard.

11:24

We have succeeded in brute forcing the door. One researcher is dead. Area is on mass alert, all are carrying fire extinguishers that we hope are still effective against this new Elemental I have decided to dub the "Jolt", or more professionally "Electric Elemental". Researcher's heart stopped instantly due to about 2000 volts of electricity being ran through his body. Security footage shows that the Elemental used an ability similar to "Rebirth", however it also emitted numerous electric shocks that likely have the same potency as whatever it fired at my fellow researcher and overloaded our electric system. Afterwards, the Elemental gained an electric aura. Face remained the same.

11:35

Jolt has escaped, with two security guards being dead. It used its own form of Rebirth that incapacitated the two of them, and then lightly tapped each of their broken bodies. Its tap apparently shocked them with about 1000 volts every millisecond for about a second afterwards.

Research into countering this new, extremely dangerous enemy has begun.
