## HCP-004-α

### **HCP-004 first appearance**

On April 26, 1986, a nuclear disaster happened in Chernobyl (Ukraine). Nothing weird happened until 3 years later on April 18, 1989.

2 best friends with gas masks and hazmat suits went to the place to take pictures of the ruins. But they didn't know what had happened in the last 3 years...

After a while, the two friends find a cave, which they want to go into immediately. The friends found a greyish liquid substance there (also known as HCP-004-1). They took a plastic bag and put HCP-004-2 in the bag. later they went further and found a corpse that was in a hazmat suit. They went ahead anyway, thinking it was just one of the employees who had died a long time ago. But that seems to have been a big mistake, because they didn't know they just encountered HCP-004-α.

After 20 minutes they were supposed to go back until one of them noticed that the body that was lying on the ground earlier had disappeared. Both of them panicked and wondered how a corpse could just disappear like that. But then one friend noticed that he was the only one panicking because his friend had also disappeared. He began to hear screams that were definitely his friend's. He wanted to run away first, but he knew that if he did, he would only be wracked with guilt. So he went to the screams and only saw huge human monster staring at him. (this is also the picture you can see on the left).

### **About HCP-004-α**

HCP-004-α looks like a fat 40 year old man with a face that looks like a leather mask, that looks slightly like a gas mask without the air capsules.
It also appears that HCP-004-α has a large, multi-toothed mouth instead of an air capsule.

As you can also see in the picture on the left, his belly seems to be very luminous. This is an effect that strangely happens when you take a picture of HCP-004-α. We don't know yet why this happens.

If you thought this is a creature that only eats humans, you're wrong. Every HCP-004 variant (except HCP-004-β) would even try to attack something 20 times bigger than him. There you can see what the virus (HCP-004-2) does to the victims' brains.

He often shapeshifts into one of his two "human" forms to lure other wanderers/strays into a cave and then eat

### **What makes him different from the others HCP-004's**

* He is 10 times stronger than the average human
* He can shapeshift into a person in a cloak with a mask (HCP-004-α\_1) and in a man in a hazmat suit with a gas mask(HCP-004-α\_2)
* He can't die from bullets that easily

## **HCP-004-β**

### **First appearance**

After word got around that the two friends had disappeared and many said Chernobyl was haunted, the HCP Foundation knew they had to do something about it. When they arrived, they saw someone who still looked "humanoid". They thought it was a stray. They got closer and closer until the "person" ran away. They couldn't find the person after that and gave up looking. A few minutes later, one of the 3 security guards yelled. The other 2 turned to see HCP-004-β slit the other's throat. Right after that, HCP-004-β took the gun from his victim and shot the other security personnel. The last security guard immediately shot HCP-004-β's head, killing him.

### **About HCP-004-β**

He's exactly like a normal person, only smarter. But that doesn't mean he doesn't still want to kill everything around him.

One cool thing about him is that you can talk to him normally (if you have at least 6 security personnel, then he will know that he has no chance of killing at least one)

It appears that the virus only goes to the brain in HCP-004-β and not to the body like the other HCP-004's

### **What makes him different from the others HCP-004's**

* He is smarter than a average human

He can easily die when you shoot in one of his organs like a real human

## **HCP-004-γ**

### **First appearance**

2 days later the HCP Foundation decided to recontain all HCP-004. But they didn't thought that they would discover a new variant in the process.

Some time later, after they arrived and were ready to recontain all HCP-004, they saw a large "person". They immediately thought it was an HCP-004-α
but later when they brought it to the lab it turned out to be a new species which they then named HCP-004-γ

### **About HCP-004-γ**

Basically, just like HCP-004-α, he's just a bit bigger and a bit stronger than its α variant. However, one thing sets him apart from the rest: He has no mouth.
We found out that he doesn't need food/water to survive, just air. But that is, what makes him more dangerous than the α variant (apart from size and power).You know may ask why and here is the reason: He kills everything for fun. This means he can kill anyone and anything without a break to drink or eat.

### **What makes him different from the others HCP-004's**

* He is the biggest and strongest one
* He kills for fun

## **HCP-004-δ**

### **First appearance**

He was found a little later but is one of the most dangerous HCP-004's out there!

HCP Foundation collected all substances from HCP-004-2 to bring to the laboratory. In the process, some employees contracted the virus and turned into one of the HCP-004's.

On April 29, 1989, 356 of 673 employees disappeared. The mission couldn't be continued like this, of course, so they installed cameras and observed.

On the way, the people who were supposed to install the cameras found what looked like a skeleton with a twisted neck. They reported it to the team immediately. They didn't send employees there for the rest of the day.

On the cameras they could see HCP-004-δ running 44 km/h (that's as fast as Usain Bolt). They later found out that he could sense every living being within a 10 km radius

### **About HCP-004-δ**

As you read earlier, the HCP Foundation staff found a corpse of HCP-004-δ. This is because HCP-004-δ is very thin and always hungry. He has to eat something every half hour or he dies.

As said before he looks like a skin covered skeleton with a twisted head.

If you look at the info box now, you're probably asking yourself: Why did he die. That's because when the HCP Foundation brought him to the Foundation they realized that if he didn't eat for the next 30 minutes he would die. Since it was too much effort to feed him every 30 minutes, the HCP Foundation decided to let him die. It's not really extinct though, as there's still a chance someone will turn into HCP-003-δ. They're just no longer produced.

### **What makes him different from the others HCP-004's**

* He is the fastes one out of these four (44kmh)
* He has no flesh only bones, organs and skin
* He can sense creatures within a 10 km radius

## **HCP-004-2 (Not-your-friend-virus)**

### **Research**

We found that the virus can spread in different ways, which is why there are four different variants.

#### **What does the α-variant do?**

The α variant gives the victim bigger and stronger muscles and more fat. The only downside is that the virus transforms the brain into a predatory brain that only has in mind to kill everything so it no longer has logical thinking like a human.

#### **What does the β-variant do?**

The β variant only goes to one place: the brain. This time it doesn't break his brain like HCP-004-α/γ/δ but makes them smarter. The only thing the β variant has in common with the other variants is that he also has the urge to kill everything around him.

#### **What does the γ-variant do?**

It is just like HCP-004-α only stronger and bigger. But you can tell them apart by the fact that the γ-variant has no mouth.

#### **What does the δ-variant do?**

In the δ variant, the virus eats away all muscles as fat. Despite this, HCP-004-δ is the fastest of them all. It was even noticed that HCP-004-δ can turn its head 360°.

## Appearances

### **About them**

They are people who worship HCP-004. They are crazy people who want to catch the virus to turn into them. They were often found in Chernobyl looking for the substance. However, this was no longer possible after the HCP Foundation blocked everything.

After that happened, it was impossible to get infected. Many thought the cult would have stopped after that. Unfortunately, this is not true. Instead of clinging to it, they worship it and hope that one day it will transform them into HCP-004.
