 Military Log - August 23rd, 1987
 Where is this?...<tabber>
|-| Log Entry 1=
==Log Entry 1 - August 23rd, 1987==
Where am I? I hit my head and- and I can't remember how I got here. David he- he told me the experiment was almost done, that I could finally… spend some time with my family. 
I can't describe this place perfectly; it looks like an old Yankee ship yet all rusted, but- but it seems ancient, almost eerily.
It's been 3 hours since I woke up; this strange black fog was following me, but I somehow managed to outrun it...
==Log Entry 2 - August 26th, 1987==
According to my watch, I've been here for three days.
I'm exhausted, the sun never sets, and these blasted sirens won't shut up!
These past three days have felt like an eternity; I doubt I'll last much longer.
The black fog gets faster and faster every day...
 Or is it just me that's getting slower?
==Log Entry 3 - ?, 1987==
I haven't spoken in a while, so I- I know now that no one's coming for me; I record this not for myself but for anyone who finds my body so that they will learn how to escape this bloody place.
There seem to be different floors in this god-forsaken place.
There seems to be a pattern, a very bizarre pattern.
Every time those sirens blare, I see that black fog.
==Log Entry 3 - ? 1987==
Every time I think I'm safe- safe at last, those bloody sirens go off and that black fog returns.
I hear strange growling in the distance now and then; I need not risk it.
==Log Entry 4 - ? 1987==
I finally did it.
I ran towards those growling sounds; I'm sick and tired of that black fog and those sirens.
Ohh god, what are these things they- they, oh god no...
-Static-
==Log Entry 5 - ?? 1987==
Those strange dog-like humans rushed me and- and one bit me, but I managed to get away.
I have a headache, and the bite mark is inflamed. I keep throwing up; it hurts...
|-| M.E.G. Expeditionary Log =
Hey come look at this! 
What is it this time?
It's an old skeleton.
WAIT!
What why?
Look, there's a bite mark.
Come on; it's just a skeleton. It's not like I'll get the virus.
Hey, your funeral.
Oooh, what's this?
Huh, what is it this time? I told you to stop collecting those trinkets.
Please look; It's just an old video recorder.
Okay, but no touching till we can decontaminate it.
Roger that!

Interesting.
Yes, very.
The rusting in this level seems to have caused this.
The skeletal remains prove this beyond a doubt.
It's highly improbable, but this level has just the right conditions.
Well, get to work right away, sir.
Be sure to keep those bones in pristine condition; after all, we need them perfect for the experiment, don't we.
Sir, yes, sir!
Now, what do we do with you?

|-| The Experiment=
Scientists Log - January 17th 1994
Below is a series of incomplete logs found by M.E.G. operatives. 
----
==Incomplete Study Log 1==
The bones contain a strange property, almost as if the rust from Level 17.5...
Phase 1 of the experiment has been completed, with the bones showing no damage.
Phase 2 begins
----
==Incomplete Study Log 2==
Phase 2 was successful; the patient responded well to the hound virus.
It seems my dream is almost at hand, the patient has survived the procedure, and we are one step closer...
----
==Incomplete Study Log 3==
It was a failure, the patient succumbed to the virus, and our equipment was destroyed.
We have no choice but to start again, no matter how discouraged.
Phase 1 resumes.
----
==Complete Study Log 4==
No matter how hard we try, the patient always dies.
Phase 1 is always successful, as well as phase 2.
During phase 3, the patient's sanity degrades to the point where we must strap them down.
We think this is due to the strange rustic residue on the bones.
Shortly after this, the patient dies with the virus dying as well.
Many staff has asked why we are turning the patients into hounds.
We reply that we aren't, and that's the truth.
The hound virus is only the beginning of the end...
