Infestation Page #3

We've done all we can.

They're on their own now.

Wow.

Yeah. Wow.

I've never been topside before...

I remember some stuff,

but it wasn't like this...

Didn't anyone ever tell you

it's rude to whisper?

Ah, how touching.

Makes you wanna vomit!

All right team we're

on a clock move it out.

All right Cole,

keep your eyes sharp on that scope.

I don't wanna get caught

in an acid rain storm.

Nothing so far.

COLE, start getting that serum ready.

Okay Sarge.

Do you really think

that stuffs going to work? Eh?

Between you and me

I haven't got a clue.

But sometimes you've just got run

with things.

Jesus! You alright?

Yeah. Wow! This is good stuff.

Wanna go next?

Yeah sure why not?

Never let it be said

that I don't try things.

Good man.

That really hurts.

I know! I'm going to go

and do the others.

If you fancy another shot

give me a shout.

I'm good thanks.

Okay who wants to do a round of shots?

Come on GIBSON,

just take it like a man.

Get off me you pervert!

Not there COLE, in the arm.

Hey LOKI,

have you seen MADDOX anywhere.

Hey MADDOX!

When you're finished over there

I've got another little prick for you.

A**hole.

He's coming.

Hey that needle better

be clean before you stick it in me COLE

I don't want to catch something

from GIBSON.

Good God! What's that?

COLE! You Bastard.

Come here! Don't run away!

Mine still itches.

Is it suppose to itch?

Perhaps COLE didn't give you

a big enough dose!

How can he sleep?

It's called Morphine.

What was that?

Probably just the wind!

Should we check it out, Sarge?

Yeah, we wouldn't want our pilot

to have any bad dreams would we?

Nah forget it,

it's probably just some animal.

Wait a minute,

am I missing something here,

an animal?

I thought nothing

was supposed to be alive up here?

That's what you're suppose to think!

What do you mean 'suppose to think'?

Come on, you've heard of 'The Project'?

Of course. The attempt

to return people back to the surface

by cleaning the air

and re-terraforming the planet!

'EH-ERR' Wrong answer!

And you're a Major!

That's just a government cover story.

Cover story to what?

Yeah Sarge, tell them what you know.

Just bits and pieces really.

Come on tell them.

I've heard this too many times.

I'm gonna get more fire wood.

The Project was an attempt to return

to the surface.

Not by cleaning the air

or eradicating the virus,

but by the creation of a vaccine.

A vaccine to completely defend

the body against the virus.

Yeah, none of this 48hr serum crap!

But surely that's was a theory?

No SASH, they did it.

The government created that vaccine.

They even tested it,

on animals at first.

And it went well. A little too well.

Meaning what?

The vaccine did its job.

The central nervous systems survived

the onslaught from the virus.

The animals didn't die.

No side effects, well,

at least not at first.

So the government

discovered some problem?

Only once they'd started

to inject a few humans.

Humans?

Almost humans, prisoners, terrorists.

So what happened with the animals?

They out lived their natural life-span.

The virus couldn't kill them,

age couldn't kill them.

Even starvation couldn't kill them.

Eternal youth?

Not quite.

I love this bit.

They may have been alive

but they were in constant turmoil,

the body's cells

didn't replace naturally,

they became worn out, decayed -

rotting from the inside.

Even in death they didn't die.

And they gave this stuff to humans?

Bullshit!

The government may be shitty

but they wouldn't stoop so low.

That's a breach of basic human rights.

Even terrorists have rights.

So come on, next page,

what happened to the people?

From what I gather, the government left

them to live an excruciating existence,

no food, no water, just pain.

Eternal pain.

They're out there, rotting!

That story gets worse.

COLE tells it better anyway.

All right everybody let's rest up.

Tomorrow we find our team.

What the hell was this place?

Some sort of resort.

Yeah, the last resort.

Look alert everyone.

This is the last recorded position

of the missing team,

keep your eyes peeled.

Remember safeties on, MADDOX,

these are our own people

we're looking for. Let's go.

Got anything yet?

Scope's clean.

Well those signals came from some where

so find them Brainiac.

D'you wanna try?

Knock it off guys.

Hold on Stop!

I getting a signal.

Let's have a look

It's weak I can't get a fix on it.

Boost it!

Thanks Marconi, its that way.

What do you think?

These monkeys couldn't find their butts

in the dark, with two hands and a torch.

Its one of the

other teams weapons chargers.

COLE, I want video playback

on that now!

A squad were keeping a visual record

of the mission.

Whatever happened

to them might be on that tape.

Anything on video playback COLE?

Man, what's wrong with this geek?

You want it in stereo don't you?

Just play the damn tape.

Right, Got it.

Sh*t!

Look at them! A Squad,

bunch of pussys.

Get that thing out

of my face you wanker.

It ain't a daytrip to the seaside.

They never change do they?

Focus on the job

I don't know here shouldn't

be anything up here!

What are you...

You're reading it wrong what is it?

Pike will you get him sorted please

he doesn't know how to use it...

Can you pick up on that?

What is that?

More to the point what did that?

Jesus.

This is... this is fresh.

What's on the box man?

Something just flashed past there!

Okay, guys, I'm going to check in here.

Covering fire!

Let's go!

Ah, this is my unlucky day.

Screw this man, what was that?

Does anyone really wanna stick around

to find out?

The other team are wasted.

Mission aborted.

We don't know they're dead,

we haven't seen any bodies.

Weren't you just watching that?

What we waiting for? Pack it up.

The signals they received

at base were moving.

How could that be if their dead?

Instrument screw up, I don't care,

I'm not putting my team

in jeopardy any longer,

we go now, move it.

We're supposed to be in jeopardy this

is a rescue mission.

We have another 24 hours before

the serum wears off.

Can't we at least try?

Are you blind? The other team are dead.

Yeah, but the question no one

is asking is how.

Who gives a sh*t? Let's go.

Shut up! It's an acid rain storm...

I don't like the sound of that.

NOW, we move out!

Find shelter quick,

in coming acid rain.

GET HIM UP, GET HIM UP!

Move it, move it, move it.

Come on get in here,

move it, get in here. Come on...

OK, We'll hole up her for the night.

Get some sleep.

LOKI You take first watch.

I'll come for you at two.

Beautiful isn't it?

In a funny way, yeah.

Ok Pilot get some sleep,

it's your big day tomorrow.

Don't I know it.

Hey...

...you'll be ok.

Beautiful aren't they?

Never really thought about them before.

Yeah, they're beautiful but

at this minute they don't mean a thing.

What are you thinking LOKI?

What's on your mind?

Now, right now I'm thinking...

I'm thinking there's something
