So, heres what i'm thinking. If you've seen The Thing you'll have a basic idea. An old hogsweatian facility in the antarctic monitoring from the cold war, it would have been used to fire salvos of ICBMs against some of the smaller RWC members. The stastion houses a full complement of ICBMs, sixteen great launch silos. Every three months a plane lands on the tiny runway to deliver supplies to the company of marines there and the group of technicians and nuclear research scientists. The last time a plane landed, on it's return flight it lost communications with the nearby Light Scout Carrier Inexplicable and was discovered downed in the ocean. all the crew were missing but everything on board was in top condition. Six days later the SAR pilots die of strangulation in their bunks on the Carrier. the door was locked from the inside. There was no way anyone could have gotten out. The next day, Communications are lost with the carrier. RAFB sends out a flight of jets to investigate; they never return. a SAR helicopter reports the carrier is intact; in fact is is drifting slowly toward sthe southern pole. However, noone is spotted on deck. the SAR helicopter, not wishing to get any closer to the carrier, hastily beats it's retreat and three days later all the helicopters crew's organs have expanded and imploded. GPS Thermal Imagery shows no life on board the ship; everywhere is untouuched. The only life that is to be found is one HUGE blob. The captain's bridge is litteraly a block of red heat. Meanwhile the ship has executed a swift 3 point, torpedo dodge turn and is now heading towards the antarctic at full speed. All sealife within 100 metres of the carrier just turn over and die.
Meanwhile, the facility is left untouched. no pilot will fly there to relieve it. And worse, communications with anywhere else are down. The Comm Master is found in the communications control room, alone, lying on the floor as if he had been strangled. The hard drives of alll the computers have literally been clawed out. All the wires have been snapped.
Unbeknownst to the people inside the facility, all that can be spotted on GPS is a huge block of red heat in the small warehouse near the dock where ships used to come in. Red, vein like, heat strips criss cross all over the facility. People start to go missing.. wierd sounds can be heard vibrating across the facility.
SO WHOS INTERESTED?
I can explain what is exactly happenign, or we can leave it till teh end.
