THE AZOLOGOTH
tHE RETURN FOR RESEARCH
A privately funded all female team of scientists embarked on a research trip shortly after the establishment of the exclusion Zone.
They were not alone.
A strange opening was present near their camp site, a fleshy hole in the ground. When they approached to inspect it tentacles thrusted from the opening, grabbing one of the team members and pulling her into the hole.
She was never to be seen again.
At first many of the members wanted to escape the island to get away from the creature. Others wanted to figure out a way to kill or incapacitate it to find out what it was.
The next time out they armed themselves with knives to cut the tentacles which proved disastrous, as the creatures blood plasma was extremely toxic.
Over 6 members of the team were killed by the creature in attempts to subdue it.
Weeks later a zoologist was called in who figured out that the blood of the creature was neuro-transmission fluid with a porous membrane on the flesh used for movement detection. She simply used a very heavy dose of powdered barbiturates in a plastic bag, which shut down the creatures nervous system rendering it harmless.
It was her who gave it the Name “Azologoth”.
It was agreed upon that the creature had come through the Rift generated from the experiment but everyone was unsure how.
The Zoologist ventured into the creature to document its anatomy.
Once the anatomy of the creature was documented, the greatest discovery since the industrial revolution occurred.
The discovery of Neon Dark.
