Chapter 16:
Section #2:
(Smith walks over to the door at the hand of the corridor with the rest of the group following close behind. Smith walks up to a computer terminal by the door as he turns to the rest of the group and says)
Smith- beyond this door should be able to gain access to some weaponry that we should be able to use to help us fight off the infected and access to underground section of the facility… I've never been to the underground section…
Susan – the underground section of this facility was deemed restricted before Dr. Smith and I arrived here with our team…
(Scott looks over at Smith and says with a tone of interest and suspicion)
Scott – why exactly was it deemed restricted?
Susan – I don't really know…
Smith - I do… look at this file I just found.
(The rest of the group approaches the computer terminal and begins to watch the video know playing on the monitor of the computer terminal. The video starts out with a scientist sitting in a dimly lit room head hung low as speaking in voice heavy with shame and remorse saying)
Scientist in video – My name is Dr. Zaline, I was the man put in charge of a secret project to study an island discovered by the company I work for... ever sense I first set foot in this evil place I knew deep inside it would here that I meet my end. Three days ago one of my team collapsed after be infected by a very lethal and incurable virus, at first we thought it was just an average easy to treat illness… if only we could of known just how wrong we were, the virus struck without and without mercy, it's infection rate spread through this facility like a wave of death and it kill out rose beyond all control killing hundreds with less than 24 hours of the first infection case was confirmed and now just 72 hours late I am the only one left alive in this facility, they're coming for me… my time is short, to anyone watching this video the virus and it's infected must not be allowed to escape this facility, if the virus reaches the outside world it could kill every last human on this planet in less than a week, I have included all the research and information we have regarding our studies here and the infected use it well or there may be no tomorrow left for any of us… I have a granddaughter back home in Germany I don't want her to have to pay for the sins I have committed here, this virus… this evil must be stopped at all cost.
(The recording begins to static as Zaline begins to scream violently in agony and pain and the picture fades completely into static and turns off. Smith looks down at the terminal eyes filled with rage as he says to rest of the group without turning to face them with a voice filled with anger and realization)
Smith – they set us up… they knew… the company knew about the virus and they sent here anyways… they wanted us to become infected… THE FUCKING BASTARDS SET US UP Arghhh... (Smith punches the terminal blood boiling with rage and frustration)
(Susan turns to Smith and says)
Susan – but why… why would they set us? Whay would they want us to become infected?
(as soon as the words leave Susan's lips a trange voice like that of a young boy fills the room saying calm with a slight sort of accent)
Young Boy's Voice – perhaps I can answer that...
