"WHAT IS THE 'DOOMSDAY PROJECT'?"
| Here we are, in the mess hall; just hold on a moment while I get something for us to eat. I can't continue to guide you around on an empty stomach!
What do you say to chicken and rice soup? It seems to be popular around here, they serve it all the time, it appears. ;) All right...the Doomsday Project. I figured you would want to get around to that sometime soon. Nothing slips you by, eh? It turns out that freeing concentration camp refugees was not the only reason our battalion was formed. The Doomsday Project had a little something to do with it, too. Before we got involved in this whole mess the military--including Sergeant Camo--caught wind of some news regarding an American civilian who had been captured by the Nazis, and was going to be subjected to some kind of medical experiment. It was called the "Doomsday Project." The nature of the experiment was pretty hazy, but from what we could tell it had to do with heightening intelligence and physical strength by means of hypodermic injections made using the subject's own blood. Needless to say this had us all on edge. Not only were the Nazis engaging in activities like this, but they were going to experiment on one of our own! As soon as the Trench Rats First Battalion was assembled, we set out to find and free the American captive...but we didn't quite get to him in time to prevent the Nazi doctors from performing their vile experiments. Surprisingly enough, to us, he appeared to be...just fine. There were apparently no negative side effects for him--and what's more--he was the only test subject so far to not only fail to suffer side effects, but to take to the tests successfully! That test subject, of course, would be our very own Doomsday Rat. Seeing as we weren't going to be leaving for the US anytime soon after retrieving him, he had the choice of joining our ranks and now serves as our chief engineer. He does not appear to notice the difference himself, but from what other witnesses have told us, his intelligence and physical strength have increased immensely since receiving the serum injections. He's pretty much a genius, and he's capable of physical feats that not even the biggest and strongest among our number can perform! Whenever we need something fixed, or some logical problem solved, or something very heavy lifted-- ;) --he's the one we turn to. And he takes his role in stride; you'll rarely see an upset frown from him. One suggestion, though--never get into a situation where he may see the need to converse with you, for converse he will--at length--and most likely on some subject about which you have NO understanding! Anyway...back to the Doomsday Project. We have every reason to believe that this project did not end with the freeing of D-Day Rat. He was not the first test subject, and he will not be the last. He was merely the first successful test subject. We have received word of the serum working to increase strength and/or intelligence in other subjects, but with negative side effects present as well. This Doomsday Serum is a nasty thing...from what we've heard the injections are most often VERY painful to the subject, depending on their interactions with the blood; care must be taken to give them in moderation, and at intervals, else the subject may go into convulsions and even die. It may even cause insanity in subjects who are not mentally stable enough to accept the injections and the resulting pain. At this time we are still trying to figure out what stage of the project the Nazi doctors are in, and to shut down their operations--but it's very difficult, next to impossible, in fact. It seems every time we find them and destroy a lab, another one pops up right thereafter. Dr. C and his people are quite cunning, if nothing else. Who's to say that if they can't create another "successful" test subject like Doomsday, they won't settle for whatever other monstrosities they may be cooking up in their vile labs? *cough* Forgive me for going off like that, it's just difficult to comprehend people subjecting others of their own kind to things like this. Unsettling, to say the least. Needless to say we're doing all we can to get to the bottom of this project, and to shut it down for good! END |
