Zzz-zzz-zzz—
"Sorry," a man's face appeared close to the cara, his expression still etched with lingering panic. Glancing over his shoulder with a look of alarm, he then addressed the cara,
"I'm Justin Balk, head of the software security departnt at Stella Core Space Station. Out of a need to save ourselves, I must make this video public—there are monsters on the space station!"
The screen flickered several tis before the view switched to a cara positioned above a corridor.
Jalal was running for his life down the corridor, chased by a dense fog. His face was stricken with panic as he dashed without regard for direction, quickly being overtaken by the enveloping fog that shrouded half of his body.
For so reason, as the fog spread out, it seed to be poisonous. Whenever it touched the black man's arm, he scread in agony and convulsed onto the ground as if electrocuted.
At the end of the hallway, in an unnoticed corner, a small round device was thrown, hissing softly as it released a chemical agent that quickly spread throughout the corridor.
The black man's pupils dilated. When he stood up again, there was an unnatural look in his eyes, as if controlled by so monster, staggering towards the end of the corridor.
He was eventually completely engulfed by the thick fog, disappearing at the end of the hall as if he had truly beco a zombie puppeteered by the monsters.
The screen then switched back to Balk whose pupils were dilated, swallowing nervously, obviously very afraid. He lowered his voice and said, "I don't know why my superiors wanted to block the news, but now the space station is filled with the monsters' presence. We've been hiding, so are dead, so have vanished..."
"My colleagues and I found so astonishing and top-secret experintal data in a lab on the space station that should never have been made public. We don't know if the appearance of these monsters is related to the experints, but we believe the public has a right to know the truth behind it all."
"I knew we couldn't just let things go on, so we decided to take so action. We had to, even though this might result in us getting hurt or bleeding," said Balk, his face a mask of mournful despair that was suddenly filled with courage.
"We will do our utmost, and no matter the outco, I hope that others, like , will not be kept in the dark. We will fight against the evil to the end, and in the anti, don't forget to think about who brought that evil here."
After these words, the transmission screen went black.
The video quickly went viral on the global internet.
Because, in any case, Balk's theory seed more plausible; soone conducted evil experints on the Stella Core Space Station, leading to the monsters' ergence. And those who discovered the evil data of those experints, resulting in the behind-the-scenes manipulator wanting to destroy the space station to silence everyone.
And who else could have conducted those evil experints?
Suddenly, the governnt and the public were at odds, with people accusing the official governnt of being the manipulator behind this series of conspiracies, not only the culprit but now also attempting to cover up the truth and put on a facade of normalcy, hence the delay in rescue operations.
Despite nurous technicians coming forward to claim that those things were simply special effects, even pointing out traces of effects identical to the previous Fla Monster incident, conspiracy theories were rampant, and the voices of clarification were like a drop in the bucket.
anwhile, another prevailing opinion was that the official governnt was delaying rescue because the public didn't understand how many calculations and studies it takes for such a large ship to co close to Earth, and what risks are involved without proper preparation.
They just felt that if the rescue ship didn't appear above the space station in the next second, it would conclusively prove a governnt conspiracy, rendering all explanations useless.
So even more pessimistic individuals believed that even if ships were dispatched now, it might not be for rescue at all, but rather for silencing those involved.
Nurous online dia personalities and ordinary netizens began to follow the account of Justin Balk, urging him to keep safe while loudly declaring that if anything went wrong with the account, it would definitely have been silenced.
As a result of this rumor, the pressure was greatest on Arica and China, as Arica had indeed done such things and been caught, while China was the perpetual 'Big Devil' in the Western dia narrative, automatically scapegoated whenever issues arose. Other countries were either not the focus, or simply lacked the capacity, leaving nearly all fingers pointing at China and the US.
As the managers of the Supernatural Organization in these two countries, the directors of SWORD and S.H.I.E.L.D. had no choice but to hold an ergency eting. However, for so reason, when faced with inquiries from dostic higher-ups later, both of them didn't seem very anxious. Even when threatened that a mishandling of the situation could cost them their positions, they responded dismissively as if the matter was of no consequence to them.
Shiller was in his office, bandaging a female staff mber. The recent power outage had indeed caused so chaos; the young female researcher, while attempting to escape, had accidentally kicked the leg of a fallen stool and sustained cuts to her ankle and lower leg.
The wound was not very deep initially, but because the researcher was nervous and unaware of it, and had accidentally co into contact with water, after more than an hour, the cut had begun to show signs of infection, causing her to develop a mild fever.
