It is still not entirely clear what happened, but our team managed to join the loose pieces together into a cohesive chain of events. Doctor Plinkington team was conducting experiments with the alien filament as planned on schedule. Filament – known under the class name of Pathogen ER-12S - turned to be an excellent connective tissue between seemingly incompatible biological components under proper electric stimulation. Doctor Plinkington team was conducting a graft experiment onto test subjects, but then either due to systems failure or operator mishap, they fed the Filament a powerful surge of voltaic electricity. Usually docile, it turned violently hostile, rapidly crushing test subjects with their own muscles and flesh and attacking the doctor and his team, growing exponentially within minutes.
