• Specimen Escape Risk — A specimen nearly escapes into the natural environment, creating a containment crisis. Location: Government research facility
• Project Abandonment — The government aborts the research project after the specimen escape incident. Location: Government research facility

Official Abandonment

The government aborts the research after the escape risk. The project is no longer supported officially.

Secret Continuation

The research continues in a barn despite the project's abandonment. A makeshift incubator becomes part of the clandestine experiment.

Key Events
