Private Public and the troopers carried General Specific and the captured weremole back to the base. General Specific was taken to the medical bay and the weremole still in the pet cage was placed in a holding cell. The Angry Scientist was called in to examine General Specific. He examined the bite marks on the general's foot and then he ran a few simple test to make sure the general wasn't poisoned or had rabies. The tests came back negative and General Specific and the rest of the troops let out a collective sigh of relief. General Specific's foot was still swollen, but other then that he appeared to be doing fine.
The Angry Scientist then went to the holding cell with Private Public to examine the weremole. The tranquilizer had worn off and the creature was trying to bite through the bars of the pet carrier with no luck. Even though it was contained the weremole made Prive Public and The Angry Scientist a little nervous.
"What kind of creature is that?" Asked Private Public.
"Looks like a mole, but one is never seen before." Said The Angry Scientist.
"Must be one of the weird local creatures we read about in Nowhere. This base probably has a some records about it." Said Private Public.
The two men headed to one of the offices and got onto the computer to get some information, but when they tried to access it, all they got was a blank blue screen.
"What gives?" Asked The Angry Scientist in annoyance.
Le Quack walked by pushing a mail cart and saw the two men and overheard them talking.
"Oh the Internet is down right now. My apologies, it should be back up and running in a day or so." Said Le Quack.
"Well that's just great." Muttered Private Public.
"Don't fret. I'm sure there are some physical records here on whatever you are looking for in the archives." Said Le Quack before walking off.
Private Public and The Angry Scientist headed to where the archives were stored and found a large room with high shelves staked with hundreds of files and notes. The two men just sighed in anger and annoyance. The Angry Scientist volunteered to look through the files to see what he could find, while Private Public looked after General Specific. The two men separated and began to do their work.
At the Bagge Farmhouse, Muriel had called the local doctor, Dr. Vindaloo to come look at the animal bite she got and get his opinion about it. Dr. Vindaloo examined the bitten hand and saw nothing unusual about it and simply advised soaking it in cold water to make the swelling go down before leaving. Muriel did just that and the rest of the day seemed to go by normally.
Back at the military base General Specific had seemed to recover from most of his injury, though his foot was still swollen and he wanted to take another crack at catching Sheep again at night.
"Sir I don't think that's wise. You should rest and recover." Said Private Public.
"Nonsense Private! We're going out and we're going finally capture Sheep!" Insisted General Specific.
With that said General Specific, Private Public, and six troopers headed out at night to the the Bagge Farmhouse.
Back at the Farmhouse, Courage, Sheep, Eustace, and Farmer John were sitting at the kitchen table after a nice dinner, while Muriel washed a few dishes and soaked her swollen hand. All was peaceful, until a full moon appeared in the sky. Muriel looked out the window and thought it was beautiful, when she felt a strange surge go through her causing her to gasp in pain.
"What's wrong?" Asked Farmer John in concern.
Muriel didn't reply as she suddenly doubled over causing Courage, Sheep, and Farmer John to run to her side.
Outside the house the General Specific and his troops were approaching, when General Specific felt a strange surge go through him and he doubled over in pain.
"Sir?" Asked Private Public in concern.
At the exact same moment both Muriel and General Specific's bodies began to rapidly change! They both grew Oliver green fur, sharp fangs, and their hands became long digging claws! The two humans had been transformed into weremoles!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Roared Weremole Muriel at Courage, Sheep, Farmer John, and Eustace making them four of them scream.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Roared Weremole General Specific making Private Public and the six troopers scream.
The night terrors had began!
