DAY 7
Experiments on the new parasite continue to uncover startling results.
Our initial tests proved that the parasite itself is incredibly weak.
Only a small amount of damage from a handgun, from a flamethrower and
even from cutting weapons can kill it quite easily. Although of course
it must be stated that the parasites were defenseless as we carried out
these tests. I for one would not like to take on a mobile parasite with
nothing but a knife.
However, today, events took a startling turn.
To determine the parasite’s effectiveness in combat, we introduced a
fully t-virus infected humanoid specimen into the test area to determine
if it had some unforeseen combat abilities.
As expected, the specimen did not attack the parasite (it is not
composed of ‘flesh’ after all). But, considering the parasite’s
previously exhibited aggression, we were surprised to note that it did
not attack the infected humanoid either.
Instead it seemed to ‘sample’ the air, before moving behind the
specimen. It then launched itself at the back of the specimen and with
one flick of its pincers decapitated it where it stood. Instead of
falling to the ground, it remained standing, swaying slowly from side to
side while the parasite seemed to be feasting from its neck stump.
Although this is extremely fascinating, we cannot currently explain this
behavior.
Trials will continue.
