Story
INTRODUCTION
In the following log entry, Resistance leader Colonel Grisham recounts the decision to implant Lieutenant Vaughan with the Alien Imaging Unit:
AGAINST ALL ODDS, CARTER HAS FINALLY COMPLETED THE CYBERNETIC ALTERATIONS TO LIEUTENANT VAUGHAN. UNDER OUR OWN LIMITED TEST CONDITIONS, THE ADAPTED IMPLANT APPEARS TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
I PERSONALLY HAVE STRONG RESERVATIONS - HOW USEFUL THIS DEVICE WILL PROVE IN REAL COMBAT CONDITIONS REMAINS UNKNOWN. THE OPERATIONS HAVE ALSO LEFT VAUGHAN WITH A HEAVILY DISTURBING APPEARANCE. I PERIODICALLY HAVE TO BREAK MY EYE CONTACT, AS I FIND MYSELF GAZING AT THE GLOW OF THE IMPLANT OR ALMOST AS BAD THE SCAR TISSUE SURROUNDING IT. TO HIS IMMENSE CREDIT, VAUGHAN APPEARS TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS WITHOUT RESERVATION.
THE SITUATION IS BLOODY AWKWARD, BUT THERE IS NO POINT LANGUISHING OVER IT NOW. SINCE THE ALIEN INVASION, OUR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DWINDLING RAPIDLY. THE ALIENS HAVE FAR SUPERIOR WEAPONRY TO US AND EXPLOIT TECHNOLOGY IN WAYS WE NEVER PREDICTED.
THE ALIENS HAVE EVEN CAPTURED OUR SOLDIERS, BRAINWASHED AND MODIFIED THEM, AND THEN USED THEM AS WEAPONS AGAINST US! AND OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE USELESS. IF WE DARE USE THEM, WE'LL ANNIHILATE OURSELVES IN THE PROCESS.
HEAD SCIENCE OFFICER CARTER HAS CONVINCED ME THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT SQUARELY AGAINST OUR ALIEN ENEMIES IS BY USING THEIR OWN TECHNOLOGY AGAINST THEM. WE HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO MAKING OUR FINEST SOLDIER A WALKING MUTANT...
