XENOFAUNA TYPE HOTEL "Ghoul"

We have observed a new kind of xenofauna. The first squad that ran into the creatures simply named them Ghouls. The creatures are gangly looking and thin, but squad encounters Indicates immense strength. They walk on two legs like an ape. They have long claws, 15 in each “hand” or on each arm to be exact they don’t seem to have hands or paws. They don’t have any eyes either instead they have a big organ for smelling, it resembles the muzzle of a Star-nosed mole. The ghouls have very strong jaws and a lot of fangs. They cranium is built like that of a Hyena; they are capable of biting through bone. We think they are mostly scavengers; they have been observed at kill sites but never actually killing anything, bigger than themselves. This is only speculations we don’t know if they will eat our boys or just kill them and we don’t know what will make the Ghouls attack. Until now the Ghouls only attack one squad (data in mission rapport Zeta 66f). The Ghouls is always seen in groups, never alone. The biggest group we have heard of consisted of 10 Ghouls. No Ghouls have been observed beyond Third landing. __________________ XENOFAUNA TYPE ZULU #UD/Z/17

Malkuth troop had been missing for a week. An unexpected tunnel shift had stranded them and we had four other teams sweeping levels 1 through 3 trying to find them. We found them on level 2. I wish we hadn’t.

Higgins saw them first, they were covered in blood and it looked like they’d lost most of their gear. Then he saw Bina troop. Or rather what was left of them. It was Bina troops’ blood they were covered in.

We pulled back into a tight wedge and started moving back but they’d clocked us and lurched towards us. That was when I saw the pustules. They had these things, buboes or blisters, hanging from their faces and necks. Even in the gloom I could see something moving inside the pustules. Then they spoke. “Help me!” or “Kill me!”, stuff like that. Chilled me to the bone.

Didn’t stop me firing though, but it didn’t stop them, they just kept coming. Double tap didn’t stop ’em, headshots didn’t stop them. Cranston chopped out their legs with the gimpy and they just crawled towards us instead.

Shooting the pustules slowed ‘em down a bit but with more than one pustule it wasn’t a case of shoot the blister, kill the man. Took us over half our ammo to put them down.

Then Bina troop stood up.
