Fascinating Chimera #7892, Project Leaders Log: Day #1

We've been safely set up inside the new lab, and most of the equipment has been unpacked successfully. The new design was finalized by Andonuts, from what the soldiers are saying. Not my place to criticize it, nor is it my place to interject my own opinions and feelings into the log. I will simply be going over the project so that at a later date we may analyze it for further research. Half of the old squad that was stationed at our old location has been moved into the new Thunder Tower installation. A pity, as we are short-staffed for the moment, but Andonuts assures me newer researchers are being collected and will be sent as soon as possible. The animals have not arrived yet, it seems there is some construction blocking the new highway. The driver radioed in to say he will have to go around, and to expect a delay of about two hours or so. There was a sort of opening ceremony, I think there was some sort of cake and a few hot-dogs, but I was engaged with going over the plans for the new project ordered by His Majesty King P. I expect Andonuts to relay more information on it, as soon as he returns to New Pork for briefing. John arrived with the rest of the older model files at six. He expressed concern over the continuing delay of the arrival of the animal specimens.I simply told him to keep watch for the truck and leave me to my reading. Andonuts wants a full catalogue of all previous projects, as well as a write up of all their weaknesses. I sent Maxwell to the vending machine for a bowl of pork stew, as the process will be time-consuming at best. I'd best stop this log for now and get to it.

Andonuts left for New Pork today to receive fresh orders and briefing. The specimen trucks arrived at last, and the soldiers helped to load them into the cages. We're short two specimens, a pair of chimps according to the file. Some sort of escape back at the depot, which should be sorted out soon, with luck. Finished the catalogue at last, full write-outs on each ones specific weaknesses. I'm unaware why Andonuts ordered it, but I can only assume he'll explain when he returns from new Pork.

Dr. Andonuts arrived early this morning, looking over plans for some new device on orders from the King. Some sort of capsule from what I can gather, but he seemed vague on the details. He simply referred to it as the "A.S.C" before getting down to business. He called the rest of the researchers into the projection room and began his slide show. We sat and listened as he went over the statistical weaknesses of all the past chimeras and how they were all made out of pre-existing creatures from the island. He went on to say that they we're not modified from their original biology extensively. Most we're simply jumbled in with other species with little changes in overall structure and tissue. He then showed us a new, strange set of chimera blueprints. It seems that one of the reasons for the move to the new facility was to facilitate the building of this chimera. Andonuts concluded the slide show and told us the designs need to be finalized and that half of us are to continue production of the other chimeras while the rest of us are to work together on the new chimera. The chimp situation has been resolved, and the truck is en route to the lab. Due to the highway construction, its been delayed again, and should be here within a few hours. Seems manpower has been mostly put to work on the building of New Pork. With luck, the design work will be finished in three weeks and then the mechanical and organic materials and components will be sent for and the process of construction will begin. Same as every other chimera. Nothing different.

There was a dispute regarding the delivery of the chimps, as it seems they were not chimps, but monkeys. I suppose they'll serve the same purpose. Not sure if they can be used for chimeras, but maybe they'll make for good test subjects. Not much to report today, mostly just work on the new chimera design.

FCP Project #7892, Project Leaders Log: Day #22

I suggested the addition of wings to the Chimera, as well as a separate set of gils. It is my intention to help make it all terrain and self-sufficient. Andonuts agreed upon the decision and we incorporated it into the plans. He also mentioned a back up program to keep it active. I questioned his reason for incorporating a shut off switch into the design. He said it was to shut it down in case it came to during construction. I suppose it makes sense, and we can always remove it once we've fully tested its capabilities. Andonuts approved my suggestion to test it on the monkeys, once its fully put together. We've spent most of the past few weeks setting up the veins and cardiovascular systems, which we've re-enforced with metal casings to help minimize possible bleeding damage. We plan to make the skeletal system fully metallic, as well as metal armor plating under the skin. The tail was sharpened to add more offensive power to the chimera, which we have dubbed "The Ultimate Chimera". We expect to complete it by the end of the month, and begin battle testing.

There has been a… Setback in the completion of the chimera. During the addition of the metal plating, it woke and broke one of its claws free, attacking Morgan. Before it could take out the rest of us, Andonuts quickly hit the button and we administered more anesthetic. After getting it back into the cell, we held a small prayer for Morgan and sent his body to New Pork for burial. John was shaken up by it, and I can't help but say I was as well. Morgan and I were part of the original five members of the chimera research lab, along with Andonuts, Jonathan and Charleston. Still, we have enough work to keep us from dwelling on it, as the skeletal structure was damaged during the attack. Aside from re-enforcing that, we also have to get more metal plating. Andonuts was able to order some of the leftover materials from the A.S.C. for it, which he assures us is the strongest material currently known to man. I have my doubts, but it should arrive shortly, meaning work can continue unabated afterwards. With luck, and enough work, we should finish in a month.

We're ready for testing. So far, it has shown it can break through most metals and break bones in a single flick of its tail. We've sent for the monkeys, only to find they have escaped again. I've sent a detachment of soldiers and two new volunteers to search for them, along with most of the guards by its cage. I feel confident that we should be able to find them within a few minutes, maybe an hour at maximum. I sent a flower delivery to Morgan's wife, along with a card. With how busy I've been here, its the least I can do for her and the kids. Andonuts asked me if I could help him with his personal chimera projects later, and I expressed a passing interest. He said the truck carrying them from New Pork should arrive tomorrow. Personally, I'm still too preoccupied with the Ultimate Chimera to spare a thought for anything else at the moment. I intend to figure out who that boy who showed up is, but as long as he helps us get those monkeys back, I can put it off till later. I should probably stop this log for now. There's a loud nose coming from the containment room.

It escaped. Killed every one. Jonathan, Charleston, John and the rest… All except Andonuts, those monkeys and that… That boy! He helped those monkeys escape! The Chimera broke free of the cage, killed the guards, and clawed its way up the elevator. The others weren't prepared for it… I only somehow made it to the observation room in time… To my knowledge, I'm the only one left. God, I'm sorry. Its all my fault… Because of me that Morgan was killed, that his wife and kids are alone, that everyone is dead… All because of me.. I built that damn thing, helped make it stronger and more powerful… Well, I know where it is, right outside the door. It's coming for me. It knows who I am. It saw me holding the scalpel, saw me inserting everything that made it what it is. I think this log has gone on too long. Time to finish it and face judgement.
