Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: The red phone on my desk began to ring around
- 0:06Speaker 1: noon the day the plant burned to the ground. I
- 0:08Speaker 1: had worked as head of security for Caverna Cattle Processing
- 0:11Speaker 1: for half a decade, and it had never rung. My
- 0:15Speaker 1: heart dropped as I considered the loss of life that
- 0:18Speaker 1: would follow the metallic jingling. I picked it up and
- 0:21Speaker 1: held it.
- 0:21Speaker 2: To my ear.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Code Red?' I asked, voice shaking.' Confirmed,' said a man
- 0:27Speaker 1: from the other end.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Follow Tier 5 protocol.
- 0:30Speaker 1: This is a total loss.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Start the process immediately.
- 0:34Speaker 1: line went dead. I swallowed hard and sat the phone
- 0:38Speaker 1: carefully back into the cradle. Not that it mattered. It
- 0:41Speaker 1: would be a charred pile of plastic before the day
- 0:44Speaker 1: was out. I lifted the plexiglass cover on the wall
- 0:47Speaker 1: above my desk and pushed the yellow button labeled Slaughterhouse.
- 0:52Speaker 1: A secondary red button flashed below it. Sweat poured down
- 0:56Speaker 1: my face as doubt swept through my mind. I wanted
- 1:00Speaker 1: to think it wasn't too late, but I knew it was.
- 1:04Speaker 1: I pushed the flashing red button to finalize the operation.
- 1:08Speaker 1: The slaughterhouse workers were all dead anyway. Looking at the
- 1:12Speaker 1: security monitors for the slaughterhouse, I could see the staff
- 1:15Speaker 1: scrambling toward the doors. As soon as I hit the
- 1:18Speaker 1: secondary button, the magnetic locks engaged, and there would be
- 1:22Speaker 1: a mechanical voice playing through the overhead speakers, announcing the lockdown.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It would tell some soothing lie that normal operations would
- 1:30Speaker 1: resume any moment, but they knew better. In a dead-end
- 1:34Speaker 1: town like this, people flocked to Caverna for decent pay
- 1:37Speaker 1: and dependable hours. A few years in, and most of
- 1:41Speaker 1: them even accepted the twisted nature of what we actually did.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Most of them probably lied and told themselves nothing bad
- 1:48Speaker 1: could really happen. For a few brief moments before they died,
- 1:52Speaker 1: they understood it had all been a comforting lie. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: turned back to my computer and entered the command to
- 1:59Speaker 1: announce the facility evacuation for all of the other floors.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Scanning the bank of monitors, I could see the other
- 2:06Speaker 1: workers cease their duties and begin to move in an
- 2:10Speaker 1: orderly fashion for the nearest exit. The alert sounded like
- 2:13Speaker 1: a fire alarm, so they would move a safe distance
- 2:16Speaker 1: away from the building before Tier 5 protocol finished. The
- 2:21Speaker 1: waves of other workers were still marching out, but I
- 2:24Speaker 1: turned my head back to the bank of slaughterhouse monitors.
- 2:27Speaker 1: In the brief moments I had looked away, nearly a
- 2:30Speaker 1: third of the cameras had gone offline. I knew the
- 2:33Speaker 1: things were destructive, but I had no idea how quickly
- 2:36Speaker 1: they had moved or how they had escaped containment. On
- 2:40Speaker 1: one of the screens, a horrible image flickered lifelessly. In
- 2:44Speaker 1: front of one of the exit doors, there was a
- 2:47Speaker 1: pile of people. Parts of them, anyway. I had never
- 2:52Speaker 1: been more grateful that the Caverna Cattle Processing Plant owners
- 2:56Speaker 1: had never transitioned the old cameras to color. My imagination
- 3:00Speaker 1: made the scene bad enough. I turned back toward the
- 3:03Speaker 1: other monitors to see a few slow movers still shuffling
- 3:06Speaker 1: around inside the plant. There wasn't much time left before
- 3:10Speaker 1: I would have to enter the final protocol command. My
- 3:13Speaker 1: face was burning with anger at the stragglers. I picked
- 3:17Speaker 1: up the system-wide mic on my desk and held it
- 3:19Speaker 1: to my mouth. Get the hell out, I shouted. The
- 3:23Speaker 1: building is on fire and I can't leave the security
- 3:25Speaker 1: booth until the place is cleared. The last few slow-moving
- 3:29Speaker 1: employees unexpectedly picked up their pace and moved toward the exits.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I breathed a sigh of relief as my eyes darted
- 3:37Speaker 1: from monitor to monitor. All of the floors, other than
- 3:40Speaker 1: the slaughterhouse, were clear. I turned to the row of
- 3:43Speaker 1: buttons and pushed the yellow and red sequences to finalize
- 3:46Speaker 1: the order. Clicks reverberated through the facility as the magnetic
- 3:51Speaker 1: locks engaged. The things were trapped inside and the hidden
- 3:55Speaker 1: self-destruct system would engage in just a few moments. Stealing
- 3:59Speaker 1: one more look back at the slaughterhouse monitors, I finally
- 4:02Speaker 1: saw the things. Bovine heads extended from their serpentine necks.
- 4:08Speaker 1: They waved side to side, bobbing above their arachnoid bodies.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Most of them had eight eyes, but a few had
- 4:14Speaker 1: ten or more. The hooves came to a sharp point.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Bloated udders randomly spotted their body, dripping some liquid too
- 4:21Speaker 1: thick to be milk. Gore dripped from their slack mouths.
- 4:25Speaker 1: They skittered across the slaughterhouse floor. tracking down the last
- 4:29Speaker 1: few survivors. Every few moments another camera would go offline.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I never understood why they destroyed the cameras. Did they
- 4:37Speaker 1: know I was watching them? Could they think? Were they
- 4:40Speaker 1: more than just some monstrosity the Caverna Cattle Processing Company
- 4:43Speaker 1: had developed to cut costs? The damn things grew too rapidly.
- 4:48Speaker 1: They were too dangerous. Surely Caverna knew it. Sure, they
- 4:52Speaker 1: tasted like beef. but I couldn't help but be sickened
- 4:55Speaker 1: by the monstrosities that had overwhelmed the slaughterhouse floor. Dozens
- 5:01Speaker 1: of people inside were dead, all in the name of
- 5:03Speaker 1: higher profit. My computer monitor began to flash rapidly, counting
- 5:08Speaker 1: down the moments until the incendiary devices would cause the
- 5:12Speaker 1: plant to erupt in flames. That was the protocol. Genetically
- 5:17Speaker 1: engineer monsters that taste like beef. If they break containment,
- 5:21Speaker 1: destroy the plant and any staff trapped inside. Insurance would
- 5:25Speaker 1: pay to rebuild in a new town. The families would
- 5:29Speaker 1: get a meager payout. Caverna would just move on, open
- 5:32Speaker 1: a new plant, breed more creatures. Next time you're at
- 5:37Speaker 1: the grocery store, skip the Caverna Meats section. It may
- 5:41Speaker 1: be a price you like, but you get what you pay. Also,
- 5:45Speaker 1: it turns out that most of you guys who watch
- 5:47Speaker 1: me aren't actually subscribed. So if you like the content
- 5:51Speaker 1: and want to support the channel, go ahead and hit
- 5:54Speaker 1: the bell. It's free and you can always change your
- 5:56Speaker 1: mind later. The screen of my tablet danced with a
- 6:06Speaker 1: thousand different sequences that I didn't understand. It didn't matter anyway.
- 6:11Speaker 1: All of the data presented on the screen wasn't for
- 6:14Speaker 1: me to check anyway. Technological mumbo-jumbo, all of it. The
- 6:19Speaker 1: only thing I cared about was the little green bar
- 6:21Speaker 1: that was filling up at the bottom. 82% complete. It
- 6:27Speaker 1: would have been my last job for a month before
- 6:29Speaker 1: I flew home for some rest and relaxation. I had
- 6:33Speaker 1: worked for Midwest Structural Security for a decade, and it
- 6:36Speaker 1: was the cushiest gig I ever had. Fallout shelters weren't
- 6:40Speaker 1: exactly all the rage, but they were becoming more common
- 6:43Speaker 1: with every passing year. Natural disasters used to be our
- 6:47Speaker 1: bread and butter, but it seemed like the world was
- 6:49Speaker 1: falling to shit, politically speaking. Wealthy folks couldn't get enough
- 6:54Speaker 1: of our underground, home-away-from-home setups. That inspection was my third
- 6:59Speaker 1: one that week. A crew would spend months, sometimes even years,
- 7:03Speaker 1: carefully building the state-of-the-art bunkers. After they were finished, I
- 7:08Speaker 1: would show up and do the final check. Full inspection,
- 7:11Speaker 1: top to bottom. No system went unnoticed. My final step
- 7:16Speaker 1: before the official sign-off on a job site was to
- 7:19Speaker 1: hook my tablet up to the main computer and run
- 7:22Speaker 1: a final diagnostic check. Every mechanical and computer-controlled system would
- 7:27Speaker 1: go through an intense diagnostic and produce a finalized report.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Easy money, if not a bit time-consuming. I didn't mind, though.
- 7:36Speaker 1: The bunkers were more luxurious than any place I had
- 7:39Speaker 1: ever lived. Most were identical in structure. but the interior
- 7:44Speaker 1: design was picked out by the owners. Their own special
- 7:47Speaker 1: little touch, I guess. Knowing it was my last sight
- 7:51Speaker 1: before vacation, it seemed like the tablet diagnostic was running
- 7:55Speaker 1: slower than ever. I hadn't looked at the screen in
- 7:58Speaker 1: over five minutes, but when I looked again, it had
- 8:01Speaker 1: only moved up one percent. The oversized feather couch in
- 8:05Speaker 1: the bunker's living room area was comfortable, though. It had
- 8:08Speaker 1: crossed my mind to set an alarm on my cell
- 8:10Speaker 1: phone and take a quick snooze. I was reaching into
- 8:14Speaker 1: my pocket to pull out my phone when a thick
- 8:16Speaker 1: peppering of concrete erupted, hitting the side of my face.
- 8:20Speaker 1: The crumbling of stone and squeal of rebar filled the
- 8:23Speaker 1: inside of the concrete box as I sprung from the couch.
- 8:27Speaker 1: My tablet screen was flashing red and I began to
- 8:30Speaker 1: run for the exit hatch. The PA system above roared
- 8:33Speaker 1: to life.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Warning, warning, unexpected breach detected.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Emergency lockdown mode commencing. Stand clear of all exits. Bulkheads
- 8:42Speaker 1: will secure in five seconds. As I listened to the announcement,
- 8:45Speaker 1: I kept running toward the exit hatch. There was no
- 8:48Speaker 1: chance I would make it, but my legs continued pumping nonetheless.
- 8:53Speaker 1: My mind was still reeling as I tried to figure
- 8:55Speaker 1: out what the hell had caused the structural damage to
- 8:57Speaker 1: the barrier wall. I was just in time to watch
- 9:00Speaker 1: the damn thing seal shut. The hydraulic door system hissed
- 9:04Speaker 1: and groaned as the heavy steel plate shifted into place.
- 9:08Speaker 1: A dull thud and small shock passed through the bunker
- 9:11Speaker 1: as the barrier settled into its frame. Having accepted that
- 9:16Speaker 1: I was trapped inside the bunker, I pulled my phone
- 9:18Speaker 1: from my pocket to make contact with someone from the company.
- 9:22Speaker 1: The unexplained structural failure needed to be reported and someone
- 9:26Speaker 1: needed to come to perform an emergency override to get
- 9:29Speaker 1: me out. It would take hours for me to do
- 9:31Speaker 1: from the inside and there was no way of telling
- 9:33Speaker 1: if the structure was preparing for collapse. I looked at
- 9:37Speaker 1: my phone. No reception. A moment of panic settled in
- 9:42Speaker 1: before I came to my senses. Each one of the
- 9:45Speaker 1: bunkers we constructed came with a satellite phone communication system.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I began to walk down the cement steps into the
- 9:52Speaker 1: main area to check the link up when another explosion
- 9:55Speaker 1: of cement sprayed just a few feet ahead of me,
- 9:58Speaker 1: followed by what felt like an earthquake. My feet shook
- 10:02Speaker 1: beneath me and I tumbled down the last few steps.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I threw my arms out in front of me, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: it was too late. All of my weight came crashing down,
- 10:10Speaker 1: causing the side of my head to slam against the
- 10:12Speaker 1: thin carpet covering the cement floor. My vision wavered and
- 10:17Speaker 1: everything went black. I'm not sure how long I was out,
- 10:21Speaker 1: but when I came to, chunks of concrete and twisted
- 10:25Speaker 1: lines of rebar were scattered across the floor. Something was
- 10:29Speaker 1: scraping across the concrete foundation, mimicking the sound of nails
- 10:33Speaker 1: on a chalkboard. I lifted my head to find the
- 10:37Speaker 1: source of the noise and nearly pissed my pants when
- 10:39Speaker 1: I saw it. Bright rays of sunlight were piercing through
- 10:43Speaker 1: a hole in the four-foot-thick wall. Dirt and crumbled concrete
- 10:47Speaker 1: were sliding in from the openings. pushed by an enormous
- 10:50Speaker 1: white hand. From the tip of the talons to the
- 10:53Speaker 1: bend of the wrist, it had the texture of porous bone.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Deep dimples in the ivory claw were filled with dirt.
- 11:01Speaker 1: The massive hand scratched at the floor, feeling around as
- 11:05Speaker 1: though it were a bear reaching into a log, searching
- 11:08Speaker 1: for an easy meal. In my daze, I managed to
- 11:12Speaker 1: push myself back a few feet just as one of
- 11:15Speaker 1: the claws sank deeply into the concrete where I had
- 11:17Speaker 1: been only moments before. A deep wound in the concrete
- 11:21Speaker 1: trailed back to the hole as the colossal hand pulled
- 11:23Speaker 1: itself out. The ground rumbled as something unimaginably massive moved overhead.
- 11:30Speaker 1: The quakes gradually grew less in intensity before vanishing altogether.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I remained in the bunker for hours after that, afraid
- 11:38Speaker 1: that the thing was outside. Maybe it was just waiting
- 11:42Speaker 1: to see if I came out. My stomach turned with
- 11:45Speaker 1: the thought of seeing what was on the other end
- 11:47Speaker 1: of that grotesque hand. The daylight drifted into twilight, and still,
- 11:53Speaker 1: I sat frozen in the same spot. My stomach growled
- 11:57Speaker 1: for food, yet nothing could pry me away. It wasn't
- 12:02Speaker 1: until the next morning when sunlight began to pour in
- 12:04Speaker 1: through the shaft before I finally decided to make my escape.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I clambered up through the hole the thing had gouged
- 12:10Speaker 1: into the bunker and poked my head above ground level.
- 12:14Speaker 1: My truck was ripped to shreds and scattered around the field.
- 12:18Speaker 1: A line of trenches were grooved into the ground as
- 12:21Speaker 1: far as my eyes could see. Some hellish trail left
- 12:24Speaker 1: by whatever nightmare creature had burrowed its way in. I
- 12:29Speaker 1: guess those bunkers couldn't keep everything out. I woke up
- 12:37Speaker 1: to my wife sobbing gently in the bed beside me.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Our tiny passenger cabin on the cruise liner acted like
- 12:43Speaker 1: an echo chamber, turning her gentle weeping into echoed cries.
- 12:48Speaker 1: When I opened my eyes, the soft light from under
- 12:51Speaker 1: the door illuminated the room in a light that sent
- 12:54Speaker 1: thin shadows crawling up the walls. My eyes focused in
- 12:58Speaker 1: the darkness to see Nancy sitting up in bed. She
- 13:02Speaker 1: was clutching the phone from our bedside table in her hands.
- 13:06Speaker 1: A soft voice was speaking through the earpiece, but I
- 13:09Speaker 1: couldn't understand what they were saying. Nancy, I said in
- 13:13Speaker 1: a gentle tone, is everything all right? I don't know, Marvin,
- 13:18Speaker 1: she replied. I'm scared. Who was on the phone? I asked,
- 13:24Speaker 1: pushing myself up into a sitting position. Something wrong with
- 13:28Speaker 1: the kids back home? Nancy's muffled crying morphed into defined
- 13:32Speaker 1: wails when I mentioned the children. That cruise was the
- 13:36Speaker 1: first trip we'd taken without the kids. It was our
- 13:39Speaker 1: 10th anniversary celebration, and we decided to make it just
- 13:43Speaker 1: the two of us. I'm glad we didn't bring them,
- 13:47Speaker 1: Who knows if they would have made it back home.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Can you tell me what's wrong, sweetie? I asked again.
- 13:54Speaker 1: She opened her mouth to answer, but nothing but mournful
- 13:57Speaker 1: sounds came out. I tried to give her a minute
- 14:00Speaker 1: to collect herself, but her composure didn't return. Gently, I
- 14:05Speaker 1: pulled the phone from her hand and held it to
- 14:07Speaker 1: my ear.
- 14:08Speaker 2: This is the Sea Lantern Cruise Line Information Center. We
- 14:13Speaker 2: regret to inform you that multiple cases of norovirus have
- 14:16Speaker 2: been reported aboard the ship. At this time, we will
- 14:20Speaker 2: be instituting a lockdown measure to slow the spread of
- 14:24Speaker 2: the infection. All passengers are to remain in their rooms
- 14:28Speaker 2: until inspected by SLCL medical personnel. If you are suffering
- 14:33Speaker 2: from vomiting, diarrhea, or cramping, please report this to medical
- 14:37Speaker 2: staff during your checkup. You will be reimbursed for any
- 14:41Speaker 2: and all ports of call canceled due to this unfortunate event.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Thank you for choosing Sea Lantern Cruise Lines. You may
- 14:49Speaker 2: hang up now. This message will play on a loop.
- 14:53Speaker 2: This is Sea Lantern Cruise Line.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I leaned across Nancy and sat the phone back on
- 14:58Speaker 1: the hook, pulling her close. I squeezed her tightly to
- 15:02Speaker 1: my side and felt her body shudder. She clutched my leg,
- 15:07Speaker 1: and I could feel her nails begin to sink into
- 15:09Speaker 1: my skin. Easy, Nancy, I proclaimed, as I reached down
- 15:14Speaker 1: to check if she had broken my skin. What has
- 15:16Speaker 1: you so worked up? Norovirus is no big deal. Nancy
- 15:21Speaker 1: sat up and turned her head toward me. Even in
- 15:25Speaker 1: the dim light, I could see the fear in her eyes.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Her jaw quivered as she tried to find her voice. No,
- 15:31Speaker 1: it isn't a big deal, Marvin, she replied shakily. We
- 15:36Speaker 1: went on a cruise with the kids two years back.
- 15:39Speaker 1: There was a big outbreak of norovirus then too. The
- 15:43Speaker 1: ship didn't go on lockdown. I ran my hands through
- 15:46Speaker 1: my hair. She was right. The captain had made a
- 15:50Speaker 1: few announcements over the loudspeaker of the ship, but life
- 15:53Speaker 1: had gone on as normal. A few of the onboard
- 15:57Speaker 1: bars and restaurants had closed, but otherwise, there hadn't been
- 16:01Speaker 1: a change. We were on a different line that time,
- 16:05Speaker 1: I said, in an attempt to soothe their fears. My
- 16:08Speaker 1: tone was probably unconvincing as my mind began to untangle
- 16:12Speaker 1: the troubled thoughts creeping around inside. It's probably just a
- 16:16Speaker 1: company policy. Let's try and get some sleep before some
- 16:20Speaker 1: rent-a-dock comes to knock on the door and take our temperature.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Nancy muttered in agreement and put her head back on
- 16:27Speaker 1: her pillow. I stretched myself back out on the too
- 16:31Speaker 1: small bed and pulled the covers up to my shoulders.
- 16:35Speaker 1: The steady hum of the engine lulled us both back
- 16:38Speaker 1: to sleep. I woke again to the sound of muffled screams.
- 16:43Speaker 1: My pulse quickened as I jolted up in the bed.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Sitting stone still, I listened intently for another outburst, but
- 16:50Speaker 1: none came. Only the constant hum of the massive engines.
- 16:56Speaker 1: It had been something in my dream, I thought to myself,
- 16:59Speaker 1: and settled back down into the bed again. Nancy was
- 17:03Speaker 1: snoring peacefully beside me. and I placed my hand on
- 17:06Speaker 1: her back. She shifted her body as she shrugged the
- 17:09Speaker 1: blanket off of her shoulder. The rise and fall of
- 17:13Speaker 1: her back as she breathed helped to slow the panicked
- 17:16Speaker 1: thumps from my heart. Sympathy panic, Marvin. That's all it is.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Nancy got a little worried earlier and spooked you too.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Calm down and go back to bed. This vacation will
- 17:28Speaker 1: be gone before you know it. Just as I was
- 17:31Speaker 1: settling in, I heard someone knocking heavily on a cabin
- 17:35Speaker 1: door in the hall, followed by a loud voice. Through
- 17:38Speaker 1: the door, I couldn't quite hear what they were saying.
- 17:41Speaker 1: It was the medical team, I thought, making rounds to
- 17:44Speaker 1: put all of this silly business behind us. I gently
- 17:48Speaker 1: stood from the bed and crept to the door, placing
- 17:51Speaker 1: my ear against the cold wood. The voice of two
- 17:54Speaker 1: men filled the hallway. One soul lost and one awaiting treatment,
- 18:00Speaker 1: said the first man. The sound of flipping pages followed.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Male and female, David and Joyce Carmichael's. I'll call for
- 18:08Speaker 1: the removal team, said the second man. Which one needs treatment,
- 18:12Speaker 1: the man or the woman? The man, the first one replied.
- 18:16Speaker 1: He's pretty weak. I could hear one of the men
- 18:19Speaker 1: walk back into the cabin before a single gunshot rang out.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I fell onto the floor in shock. Treatment complete, said
- 18:27Speaker 1: man number two. Last cabin on this floor. Looks like
- 18:30Speaker 1: Marvin and Nancy Compton. Pop the door. White noise filled
- 18:34Speaker 1: my ears as I heard a plastic keycard slap against
- 18:37Speaker 1: the magnetic lock of our door. The heavy wooden barrier
- 18:41Speaker 1: pushed in and light flooded through the opening. Two men
- 18:44Speaker 1: dressed in hazmat suits stood in front of me. The
- 18:47Speaker 1: man in the rear had a gun. Good evening, Mr. Compton,
- 18:51Speaker 1: said the first man. Are you or your wife feeling ill?
- 18:56Speaker 1: A medical team wearing the same hazmat suits as the
- 18:58Speaker 1: two men came to our room and examined us. It
- 19:01Speaker 1: seemed to shock them to find us in perfect health,
- 19:04Speaker 1: terrified as we were. They had us put on two
- 19:07Speaker 1: hazmat suits and raced us to the elevator. Two men
- 19:10Speaker 1: escorted us down the main hallway and through the empty
- 19:13Speaker 1: lobby and onto the main deck. We didn't see a
- 19:16Speaker 1: single soul other than the medical team. No matter how
- 19:20Speaker 1: many questions we asked, they remained silent. We approached a
- 19:24Speaker 1: helicopter that sat idling on the deck. Lounge chairs and
- 19:28Speaker 1: white towels sat scattered all around. The team pushed us
- 19:31Speaker 1: into the chopper where we belted up and lifted off
- 19:34Speaker 1: into the sky. Nancy clung to me more tightly than
- 19:38Speaker 1: she ever had before. As we moved over the side
- 19:41Speaker 1: of the ship, it finally made sense. Why we hadn't
- 19:45Speaker 1: seen anyone else. On the deck were bright white body bags.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Thousands. of them.
