OFF.
YOU WANT TO PROTECT SOMETHING,
START WITH YOUR OWN HIDE.
ACCORDING TO
THE BUILDING PLAN, SECURITY
WING'S ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
BARS, ARMED GUARDS, ALARMS.
HARDLY YOUR AVERAGE PSYCH WARD.
AT LEAST WE WON'T BE BORED.
UGH... HUH...
SHAL, YOU OKAY?
YEAH, JUST DIDN'T
GET MUCH SLEEP.
YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY?
YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.
THANKS.
YOU'RE WARM.
I'M FINE.
SHAL, YOU'RE REALLY...
HEY, I'M OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
GET SOME REST.
I'M GOING TO TALK TO GRADY.
I SAW HIM HANGING AROUND
WHERE WE FOUGHT THAT BEAST.
HE HAD A CAMERA.
DO YOU THINK HE CAUGHT
US USING OUR POWERS?
WELL, IF HE DID, HE'S
NOT GOING TO DEVELOP THE FILM.

RIGHT, ONE PANIC
ATTACK COMING UP.
NICE WORK.
WAIT. THIS WAY.
248-D.
NATHANIEL BLOCK?
LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
YEAH.
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN GET.
 AGGHHH...!
BRENNAN?
I'M IN SECTOR
FOXTROT, TWENTY-ONE,
QUADRANT FOUR-THREE-THREE.
POINT OF THE LAST KNOWN CONTACT,
RECOVERING TRACE EVIDENCE.
YES, SIR.
HIS EXIT WAS IN A SOUTH-WESTERLY
DIRECTION FROM THE SITE.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, THAT'S FUNNY.
I WAS ABOUT TO
ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
I WAS JUST SEARCHING THE AREA.
OH, THAT'S SOME PRETTY
FANCY EQUIPMENT FOR A ZOOLOGIST.
HEY, GET OUT OF MY BAG.
WHOOF.
LIKE I SAID, SOME
PRETTY FANCY EQUIPMENT.
WELL, THE BEAST
MIGHT BE DANGEROUS.
IT'S, UH, MERELY
A TRANQUILIZER GUN.
SEE, I KNOW TRANK
GUNS AND THIS IS NOTHING
I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
MAYBE IT'S NOT.
HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO FEEL ITS EFFECT?
WHO ARE YOU AND
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A HINT?
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
AND STAY OUT OF MINE.
OH, WELL, MAYBE MY BUSINESS IS
GETTING ALL OVER YOUR BUSINESS.


UGH... UGH!
SHOOT HIM!
GIVE ME THE GUN!
SHOOT HIM!
WAIT!
 UGH.
WHY DIDN'T HE GO FOR YOU?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE HE RECOGNIZED
SOMETHING IN ME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
TURNS OUT HE'S AS
MUCH OF A ZOOLOGIST AS I AM.
SO OUR ANIMAL LOVING SCIENTIST,
HE'S JUST A
HUNTER AFTER ALL, HUH?
BUT WE'RE ALL
AFTER THE SAME THING.
GIVE ME BACK MY GUN.
YEAH, RIGHT.
WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO WITH HIM?
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO WITH ME?
I'M GOING AFTER HIM.
HEY, CHECK THIS OUT.
PROJECT 318 IS A SECRET
OFFSHOOT OF THE SPACE PROGRAM.
HE'S AN EXPERIMENT, A FERAL
THEY ACQUIRED FROM GENOMEX.
THEY SOUPED UP HIS ANIMAL DNA?
YEAH, THEY WERE GOING TO SPLICE
IN ELEMENTAL AND MOLECULAR
GENES AS WELL,
THEY DIDN'T GET THAT FAR.
THEN WHY IS HE LIKE THIS?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT WERE THEY AFTER?
THERE.
THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE
AN ASTRONAUT WHO COULD WITHSTAND
ALIEN ENVIRONMENTS.
I'M GOING TO DOWNLOAD
THE WHOLE DATABASE.
WE CAN TAKE OUR TIME WITH IT.
UH OH...
AGGHHH...
NATHANIEL, CALM DOWN.
WE'RE NOT WITH THE HOSPITAL.
WE'RE TRYING
TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE.

COME ON!
I NEED TO REST A MINUTE.
MAN, THIS GUY'S REALLY
STARTING TO ANNOY ME.
YEAH, WHY SHOULD
WE WAIT FOR YOU?
YOUR POWERS DIDN'T WORK
VERY WELL YESTERDAY, DID THEY?
HUH?
I KNOW WHAT KIND
OF FREAKS YOU ARE.
WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
THE ONLY THING YOU'LL
BE GOOD FOR IS BAIT.
MIKE... MIKE...
IT'S OKAY.
SHHH...
MIKE...
- CALM DOWN.
SLOW DOWN.
I GOTTA STOP.
I'VE GOT A FIRST
AID KIT IN MY BAG.
AT LEAST YOU
CAN GIVE ME THAT, HUH?
WHY DON'T
YOU START BY TELLING US WHAT
YOU WANT WITH THAT THING.
I BET YOU TENSION BANDAGES
AND PAINKILLERS WOULD HELP
WITH THAT LEG OF YOURS.
JUST GIVE IT TO ME.
WELL, THAT'S NICE.
ESPECIALLY COMING FROM
A GUY THAT JUST TRIED TO KILL
ME A FEW MINUTES AGO.
 WELL,
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
UH, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE BEFORE THAT THING
COMES BACK THIS WAY, HUH?
 HE WAS AN EXPERIMENT.
THE SPACE AGENCY.
PROJECT 318.
YOU CREATED A MUTANT?
WE GOT HIM FROM GENOMEX.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE THE ULTIMATE ASTRONAUT.
BUT HE GOT SICK.
THE GENETIC MODIFICATIONS
CREATED SOME KIND OF VIRUS THAT
STARTED CHANGING HIM.
IT WAS NOT BAD ENOUGH
THAT YOU RUIN HIS LIFE,
BUT
