The crew chief of the shuttle waves and slowly walks toward the group of Venom troops. "Hello there! You said something about the base being locked down, so we took it upon ourselves to deliver these to you." The shuttle's back hatch opens, and several gurneys are rolled out, each holding a body bag marked with various biohazard symbols. The bodies inside all bear Venom markings and uniforms. All their visible flesh has been eaten away entirely. "We found these guys after a cargo ship slammed down a few klicks from our home base. Half of them were still alive when we got there. They wouldn't let us touch them. A few minutes later, they were all, well..." "They were all like this. Our med-corps has no idea what's going on, so we figured we'd send a shuttle over with tissue samples. We did that 2 days ago. Obviously, we're the follow-up, after what happened to Jorgensen and his boys. Thanks for that, by the way. Always tough when that happens. We figured we'd ask you for help, bring back your men. I figure that whoever brought your men down is going after both of us. Hope we can find out why."
