Terror in Alaska Pt2

[Stormtrooper1990]

Following the discovery of the body of the real Doctor Carlson, the Project Chimaera staff at Alpha Dig Site now know they have a vicious alien imposter in their midst, but they do not know it's identity. Agent Susan Parker must use all of her investigative skills, along with her fellow agents Allers and Ashford, to flush out the terror in their midst, before it kills them all and releases its kin upon the world...



" Well I can tell what didn't do this. It wasn't a K'sar, the fact the brain is still there gives it away.." Said Susan as she peeled off her surgical gloves. Herself, Dr Scully, Allers and Ashford, who were now armed with their M4s, along with Dr Nicole Perry, the dig sites chief medical officer, where in the morgue of the sites medical bay. Susan had just finished her examination of the remains of poor Dr Carlson, the lack of eyes were grating on her nerves. Susan had spent two of a five year track in Harvard Medical School studying to be a MD, until she dropped it in favour of a career in the DoHS, Susan herself was still a registered pathologist but never used the Doctor title. Now looking over the naked body of Doctor Carlson, who's beautiful body had been further violated by Susan's Y-incision, she wondered if she made the wrong choice. Dr's Scully and Perry shifted uncomfortably. " Do I want to even know what a K'sar is?" Asked Dr Scully shrugging. " Not really considering current events. It doesn't help us now." Dr Perry approached Susan. "So what can you summarise about the body, Doctor Parker." Susan frowned at the title, she never felt like a real doctor. Dr Perry was an attractive 30 year old, with smooth cheekbones slightly squared features and pale blue eyes. Her auburn hair was cut into a short pixie cut. " Well her brain as been sucked dry, it as gone from the size of this." Susan held out her hands approximating the size of a human brain. " To the size of a tennis ball." All of the women visibly looked sick, it gave a small amount of pleasure to Susan that Allers looked like she might vent her dinner, despite being comforted by her girlfriend. Dr Scully looked down at Carlson's body, holding her hand to her mouth. " My god, poor Emily. Was she alive when that thing, did this to her?" Susan shook her head. " Fortunately, no. Emily was already dead before her brain was harvested. Her cause of death, was suffocation. Something smily, solid and viscous was forced down her throat." Dr Perry glanced over at the Petrie dish's behind Susan. " What are those, samples?" Susan smiled as she walked over to them. " I took them from inside Emily's eye sockets and windpipe. Whatever it is, it's unlike anything I have seen before. It's sentient, part of a larger lifeform and I discovered something very useful." She turned to Allers, who was beginning to look green. " Diana, your lighter if you please." Susan held her hand to the dark haired agent. Allers looked suspiciously at Susan, before Ashford nodded. "It's ok Di. She could be on to something. Give her your lighter." Allers gave it too her. "I want it back, Parker." Susan just rolled her eyes as she took it. She held out the lighter over the first sample. "Watch." Susan flicked the lighter on, the group gathered around as they saw the slime desperately tried to escape the flame. " So it's hates fire, big deal. That and 99.9% of everything in the universe." Susan let out a deep breath of frustration, she was beginning to find Allers' attitude annoying. "That's not even the best part." Susan dropped the lighter inside the dish, the slime made a horrible keening noise as it was consumed by the fire. Until nothing remained, Susan handed Allers back her lighter she took it wiping it fiercely on her jacket. "Bitch! That was my best lighter!" Susan ignored her as she turned to the group. "Fire kills it, we need to test ourselves. Whoever has a violent reaction to the fire, that's our shifter." Allers shook her head. " You better now what you are doing, Parker?" She said as she held her lighter over her forearm. " See 100% human." She said, as they tested each other. Susan sighed " The shifter is still out there, do you have anything that could help us burn it out, Dr Scully?" The doctor nodded, smiling. " I know just the things we'll need." Before she could elaborate further Côte Alvarez a pretty mexican, the teams chief quartermaster, came rushing in she was out of breath. "Good, I found you. I have just found something you need to see, Agent Parker. It's bad news. We found another body" The team, apart from Doctor Perry followed her out of the sickbay.




What they found was another gruesome scene, the naked eyeless body of a young blonde woman was discovered face down in a snow drift, outside the kennel hut. Susan knelt by her. " Do you know this poor woman? Dr Scully?" She and Alvarez grimly nodded. " That's Samantha Kennings, or was. She was our communications officer and Emily's girlfriend. So it's mimicking her now." Susan gestured to Allers and Ashford to cover the body. " If she hasn't found another identity by now." Alvarez stepped up to them. " There is more, over here." She lead them inside to a grisly scene, the husky sled team was torn apart their frozen blood coated the walls and ceiling. "That's not all, our radio equipment as been destroyed and the snowmobiles as well." She added. Susan turned her back on the frozen charnel house. " This things smart. It's destroying our only means of escape, and trying to cut us off from the outside world. We stay together, from now on. Safety in numbers Wait, we left Dr Perry behind at the sick bay. Allers, Ashford, check in on her and keep her safe." The two women nodded and exited the room. Susan turned back to Dr Scully. " Care to show us that fire Doctor." The attractive redhead smiled as she lead them towards her office. " I think you are going to like this, Susan."



Oyzima, still wearing the appearance of Samantha Kennings watched as the group exited the med bay, leaving behind a single female occupant. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Nicole Perry. Oyzima watched the comely young auburn hairedwoman, switch off the lights in the morgue area and enter the small shower block next door. The Vunar Matriarch, felt arousal at the prospect of wearing her face. Watching her strip off her clothes which consisted of a red turtleneck jumper with a pair of North Face navy ski pants and fur lined black ankle boots. As the human woman removed her first layer, Ozymia made note of the grey matching thermal underlayer and long johns, after the human pulled off her second layer of garments, she stripped off her matching black lace thermal vest and solid thong. Now completely naked, the human female got into the shower water tumbled off her slim attractive figure, well developed C-cup breasts with red areolas and a small vulva crowned with a trim strip of auburn hair with a pert round ass. Savouring the hunt to come, Oyzima stripped off the clothing she had stolen from the late Samantha Kennings, and shifted back into her natural form. She climbed up to a vent on the outside of the shower block of the medbay, tore off the vent and entered inside the ventilation duct.



Dr Nicole Perry, took a deep breath as she savoured the feel of warm water cascade down on her naked body, washing the way the sight of the corpse of poor Emily. It was difficult to see her like that a woman she had talked to, worked alongside reduced to a pitiful state by some alien creature that had no right to exist. At 30 Nicole, had been working as a Project Chimaera physician for more than 6 years and been assigned to Alpha dig site for 2 years. She had come to know every woman on the team, and saw them as her family. The fact one of her family had been violated in a grisly manner, made her angry beyond reason, which was saying much given her profession. As Nicole reached for the shampoo, she felt a strange viscous smile fall on her shoulder, she suddenly remembered what Dr Parker had said. Paralyzed with fear Nicole looked up, seeing a horrific green feminine form a bald tentacled head similar in form to a squid regarded her. Nicole know she was face to face, with the creatures that had murdered and stripped Emily. Before she could scream for help, the creatures tentacles shot out, engulfing Nicole's face. She could feel herself being hoistered into the air, the tentacles forcing their way down her throat suffocating her. Nicole's arms fell limply to her sides as she expired, Ozymia's tentacles forced their way through her eyes latching onto her brain, sucking it dry as Nicole's naked eyeless corpse was pulled into the vent.



When Ozymia had finished assuming the form of Doctor Nicole Perry, leaving her naked corpse stuffed inside the vent, she jumped from the open vent landing perfectly without missing a step. Ozymia quickly shut off the hot water, hissing as she felt its sting on her stolen form. She heard footsteps behind her, Ozymia quickly turned on the cold water tap as two armed human women entered the shower block. She faked a jump as she saw them. Using the Doctors stolen memories she addressed them. " Allers, Ashford. Didn't your parents ever teach you not intrude when a lady is in the shower." The pair shot her curious looks. " Sorry Dr, Parker asked us to keep you safe. We found another body." Said Allers blushing, her partner Ashford continued. " Your comms officer, Samantha Kennings the alien freak had gotten to her. We found her dead, naked in a snowdrift." It took all of Ozymia's self control, not to rip them to shreds then and there. She feigned shock. "Oh my god, Samantha. Let me get my things I will be right out." The two women smiled and left her alone, after drying herself with a towel, Ozymia dressed in the clothes that belonged to the former Dr Nicole Perry.



As Dr Scully led Susan and Alvarez into her office, she scanned her keycard on a locker behind her desk. The locker opened to reveal three military grade flame throwers. "Fuck me, why do have these on a digsite, Doctor." Said Susan as she took one from the rack, equipped the tanks on her back and stowing the nozzle. " We usually use them from for thawing through the thick ice sheet, never thought we would actually use them to kill your alien creature." The Doctor said as she handed a pair to Alvarez. " Take those to Allers and Ashford, they will work much better in their hands." The pretty Latina nodded and exited Scully's prefab. Scully took out a bottle of bourbon, pouring two glasses handing one to Susan and the other for herself. " Here's to Emily and Samantha. Two good women that didn't deserve to die here, in this frozen shithole." The doctor said as they clinked glasses. "May we roast the thing that killed them in hell." Said Susan, as they downed their glasses. As they exited Scully's prefab, Susan switched on the flamers pilot light.




As they entered the medical bay, Susan could see that Allers and Ashford already had equipped their new flamethrowers, a nervous looking Dr Perry was shooting them curious looks. Susan could have sworn she had seen that look somewhere before. "Feeling a little nervous, Dr Perry. You are sweating." Perry flashed her a nervous expression. "I'am just a little nervous that's all, this whole creature business as got me on edge. First Emily, now Samantha. How do we know who to trust?" Susan took out her Glock 17, hiding it behind her back. "Yes indeed. You see, when Alvarez told us that she had discovered Samantha's body, we left Doctor Perry here in the sickbay. Since everybody was together at the time when we discovered Samantha's corpse, except the doctor. It's simple process of elimination." With that she took out her pistol, and shot the Doctor through the head. Instead of falling, Dr Nicole Perry smiled. " You are a clever little one aren't you! I see that I have erred. I should have killed you first, Dr Susan Parker." Suddenly she shifted back into her natural form, still wearing the stolen clothing she taken from Nicole's corpse. The team recoiled back, as Allers and Ashford prepared to hose her down with fire. The creature dragged a terrified Alvarez, to her, holding a scalpel to her throat. " I wouldn't if I were you, humans. Not unless you value the life of this creature." Susan aiming her pistol at the creatures head, signalled the two agents to lower theirs. " What are you, creature? What do you want?" Asked Susan, the creature laughed, it was an ungodly sound, muffled by its tentacles. " My name is Ozymia, Matriarch of the Hung clan of the Vunar race. And I and my 100 brothers and sisters await their release on a new world. You all must die." With that, she drew the scalpel across the throat of Alvarez, blood poured from the ruin of her throat as Ozymia tossed her to Scully. The doctor tried to staunch the flow of blood from Alvarez's throat, as the Vunar attempted to flee by jumping through a nearby window.



Reacting quickly, the three armed agents have chase opening fire on Ozymia, hitting her multiple times her green blood staining the white of the snow. As she fell to the ground. Struggling to get up the Vunar was surrounded by the three agents, who trained the nozzle of their flamethrowers on her wounded form. " I spit in you pathetic creatures, you are only fit for consumption just like your bestial ancestors. In time my people will arise from their stasis and ave--aghh." Hearing enough, Susan, Allers and Ashford hosed Ozymia down with liquid napalm. The Vunar's screams of agonised screams grated through the three agents as she was burned alive. " Burn in hell, you bitch. That's for Emily, Samantha and Nicole." Allers walked over to her. " Sorry about before. Wendy and I can get a little full on. You know you are alright Parker. For a paper clip pushing field agent." Diana held out a fist, which Susan bumped. " I will take that as a compliment, I think. You two aren't bad, for a pair of loved up meathead tactical agents." The three women laughed as Dr Scully approached them, a dark expression appeared over her face blood covered her hands. " Alvarez didn't make it. I-i couldn't save her. She lost much blood." Parker comforted her, drawing her into a hug. "It's over, Gillian. We got the bitch, she is roasting in hell." Somehow that didn't make Scully feel any better. " Too much death." Parker turned to face Diana "Damn that smells awful." She said covering her nose, as the acrid smell of Ozymias burning flesh rose into the darkness. " Come on, Allers. Let's get that radio fixed. In have had enough of this place." The four women turned and trudged through the snow back towards the dig site, leaving the burning remains of Ozymia behind.



Two weeks later


" Damn fools. Five good women died in that frozen hellhole. Only for them to cover it up." Susan said angrily to Allers and Ashford. As they sat around a cafe in Washington D.C, in the Federal Triangle. They had just sat through a full board of enquiry over the "Alaskan Incident" as it was being called, with the result of their struggle against the horrifying Ozymia, a tragic accident. Each of them had been sworn to secrecy, and the digsite was sealed off open only to those with the highest possible security clearance. Allers had arm around her lovers shoulders, sipping a coffee. " Tell me about it. They didn't even seal it off. The thought of even more of those freaks, sleeping under the ice, is unnerving. One of them was bad enough, but 100..." Parker picked up her coffee. "Well, I told them I quit. I cannot in good conscience work for those liars anymore." To her surprise the couple nodded in agreement. " That makes three of us, Doc. I guess we are all unemployed now." Answered Allers as Ashford looked around. " Here comes the other Doc." They looked up to see Doctor Scully, walking towards them with a rather fetching looking young goth girl. Parker appraised her, as she rose from her chair. She had high cheekbones, with angular features and big brown almond shaped eyes, her hair was dyed black and shaven down one side. Dark black eye liner and lipstick accentuated her good looks. Her skin had a slightly tanned complexion, with a large spiked choker around her neck and skull earrings. She was wearing a full leather ensemble with black knee high boots, trousers held up by a studded belt. Under her jacket, she wore a tank top that read "The Devil made me do it." Susan could help but feel attracted to the girl. She approached the odd couple. " Gillian. Who is this? A new friend?" Gillian smiled. " More like an old student. Dr Susan Parker, former DoHS special agent. Meet Abigail Fonseca, an old student of mine." The girl held out her hand, her wrist encircled by a studded bracelet. " Please, only my mother calls me Abigail. It's just Abbi to you." Susan shook it. " Pleased to meet you, Abbi. What are you doing here, exactly?" Abbi smiled as she let got of Susans hand. "Well my old teacher here. Told me all about your little Alaskan adventure, and I'am here to tell you that incidents like that are on the rise, strange happenings, unexplained deaths and the disappearances. The aliens in LA and Alaska are just the beginning. But no one is investigating them, innocents are dying and nobody can do anything about it, except you guys." Susan looked a little skeptical, as did Allers and her partner. "Just because we have killed one alien creature, doesn't make us experts. It is Gillian that spoke next. " Abby runs, a paranormal blog. She wants to prove the scientific existence of the supernatural. Think about it Susan, all of us have seen the other side. Would be so scary to find answers, to those questions." Susan turned to the couple, seated at the table both nodding in agreement. Susan turned back to face Abbi. " Ok, we'll bite. Going into the Private Eye business. Sounds cool." Abbi clapped her hands together. " That's the spirit. We will need a catchy name, something good for when it goes viral. How about Parker Investigations LTD." Parker nodded, she liked the sound of that.

The green blood reminds me of 'a study in emerald',
through which I started reading the stories of Holmes and Lovecraft.

You cannot beat classic detective fiction or classic horror. You have good tastes, panpan

My best friend, is totally hooked on Lovecraft. He is her favourite author. I did base Ozymia on the old ones in Lovecraft, an ancient creature slumbering for years woken by the presence of of mortals.

The Green blood, was sort of based on the predators blood. Except Ozymia's didn't glow in the dark.


Thanks for reading, Panpan. I'am glad you enjoyed it.
