Studying the Flood

by Grubby

Reworked and edited with improved grammar and style, this favorite work of mine is finally polished. This is a chilling tale of experimentation of flood on unfortunate Covenant test subjects, and other forms of grisly "research". Revising in progress.

Studying the Flood

Test 4.

Note: Ok, awesome. I got seven reviews! Woot. Thank you everyone for reviewing. Everyone of you had a decent and informative review, especially Agementus.

Experiment 4. Killing a Combat Form

It took one month to get ready for this test. The scientists bred more infected elites. Unfortunately for the scientists, all the standard weapons, such as the SMG, Magnum, etc, was taken away from them. Jack was irritated by the UNSC. He wanted to infect humans, like prisoner, or traitors. Well, today was the day where they will test how to kill combat forms.

"I'm releasing the combat forms sir," the control scientist said.

"Good, proceed," Jack replied.

The left door opened, and two combat forms came out, growling. Rings secured them in place, and in position. An M6D pistol fired a bullet at on of them. It stuck onto flood's tough skin, and few drops of green blood came out. It growled, struggling to get free. The pistol fired another shot, this time piercing the tough skin, and lodging into the flood's muscle. The flood roared in pain and anger. The pistol fired right at the left shoulder, breaking off his arm. The pistol fired at the other shoulder, breaking off the other one. Then, the pistol fired again right at the wound, and killed it.

"Pistols are a failure, try the assault rifle," the computer said.

The mechinical arm swapped the pistol for an assault rifle, and fired rapidly at the other combat form. The combat form was shreded by the rounds, and killed easily.

"Assault rifles are ok, try the sniper," the computer said.

The arm swapped the rifle for the sniper rifle, and fired. The bullet pierced through the skin, but didn't do much. The rifle fired three more times, and finally killed it.

"Sniper rifle's are a failure, try the shotgun," the computer said.

A shotgun was dropped into the floor, and the arm picked it up, and fired at a fresh new combat form. The infected elite was blasted into pieces, with a huge hole in its chest.

"Bravo, shotgun is effective," the computer said.

Jack was pleased. He already knew that a rocket launcher would kill it easily, so he skipped it. He was very pleased, and he got ready for the next experiment.

Ok, more chapters are coming up! Review, review, review!
