Gigantomachia by Alucard Report of Lieutenant Woodsworth on the preliminary investigation into subject Atlas II. Personnel. Lieutenant Richard Woodsworth, Sergeant Annabel Goethe, Corporals Maximilian Edward Stevenson and Carlisle Howitzer. Actions. Recognizance and sampling of materials for further research. Conditions. Unexpected. Redetachment. Orders. Access through the designated opening determined by the bioengineering squad. Utilise as few tools as possible to prevent loss of valuable instruments and ensure quick departure, committing only to a preliminary assessment. Summary. The squad fulfilled the preliminary investigation as ordered, finding expected setbacks as per the SITREP, recovering the necessary samples.
A full report in detail can be read in the attachment provided by Sergeant Goethe per request of Colonel Lewis Ryder. Attachment. This is the extended report of the mission into subject Atlas II, charged to the squadron led by Lieutenant Woodsworth. By request of Colonel Ryder, it shall be detailed and civilian-oriented, so I will spare military terminology unless necessary. It is odd to be writing this way. I'm no journalist. I don't understand why Colonel Ryder wants it this way, but it is not on me to question such orders. As a short preface for those unaware, Atlas II, colloquially known as Devourer, is laying dead in the middle of a metropolitan area. Like its predecessor, it took a lot of resources, time, and lives to bring it down.
Unlike Atlas I, we had access to a carcass we can study. Command ordered an investigation into it, providing us with very little resources, and shipped us off. Once my eyes set on it, the word Titanic came to mind. My wife Elizabeth is a mythologist. She often tells me how we don't actually have any indication that the titans of Greek myth were any different in size from the gods. I wonder if Zeus ever trembled like I did when fighting his own terrifying enemies. We entered through a cavity cut by the bioengineering squad on its abdomen. Both corporals stayed at the entrance. Stevenson reported from the outside, while Howitzer did so on the inside. Lieutenant Woodsworth and I went into the belly of the beast, so to speak.
The first thing that hit me was the smell. We didn't know if decomposition would affect it, taken by millions of bacteria, fungi and insects, expelling that familiar sweet, awful scent. It smelled fresh. The only thing compared to it is eucalyptus, clean and overpowering. Then there was the silence. Our march on its flesh made a squelching beneath our boots. Some soundproofing quality prevented us from hearing any echo in the distance.
