What Lurks Below

Description

"The DAMMED base grew to be a home away from home after a couple of years. We went about our daily regime and training oblivious to what lurked below the base in the subterranean floors. Below the labs were more labs. The lead scientist at the base conducted his experiments in a rather humane matter. He had a good heart and meant well but his research and methods were used by lesser men in the levels below.

One day, the demon experiments that lurked down in the sub-basements rose to the main floors. Everything shut down. Monstrosities poured from the ventilation and what other networks they could find. A group of older recruits were taken down to investigate and exterminate what was there. 

They were horrifying.

I still can't say what was done to them but the word "inhumane" doesn't even cover what we saw. I don't know if what we saw was human or demon or both. Much of the scientists were killed. Much of the experiments were crazed. Some were mindless drones. Others spoke out to us. And tried to kill us.

Our trust in our superiors were shattered after we had dealt with the situation. Not only was this kept from us but what did it mean for us? What if the program failed? What does it still mean for us? That is what terrifies me the most. That wonderful man's work being put to such a terrifying use again. At least he wouldn't have to see it a second time around."


In the basement rp, Cillian was incredibly hypnotized by a holy demon who used lights to hypnotize and then absorb people into her(?) if I remember correctly. She wasn't the most messed up of the lot either. 

I really wanted to do something with the basement. There aren't many people left who were apart of that rp. I felt like it is really relevant to F66 because pretty much that's what was gonna happen to them if they had gotten there before that ship sunk and they took a small vacation on that island. And the absolute terror that it might happen is engrained into the former recruits who were there. The events that took place after this rp are also extremely relevant to how he developed as a character and the bonds that were formed and broken shaped how he makes decisions and how he acts currently.

No joke, the basement RP is still one of the best and my favorite events. I can never forget its spoopiness and dark enigmas behind those terrifying subjects. So much fun yet intriguingly terrifying.

Nostalgia aside, I really love those glowing, innocent lights brimming about the nightmarish holy demon. It's beautiful, yet horrific. Hot pockets, you're a fantastic ginger character, Cillian.
