Lost Blood: Continued Research

After six failed attempts at deciphering the codes, the terminal freezes, leaving me staring at a blank screen. Frustration settles in—I may have locked myself out permanently.

Two hours later, just as I prepare to abandon the effort, the screen flickers back to life. Lines of heavily redacted, classified information scroll before my eyes. As I scan the fragmented data, a chilling realization takes hold.

Declassified Files: Vault-Tec and the Marcel Family

The documents outline a history of covert government monitoring and experimentation, all centered on my family. What was once whispered as legend is now laid bare in black and white.

• Vault-Tec, in collaboration with federal agencies, had been observing the Marcel bloodline since the rise of Big Chief Redwolf.
• Their objective: To suppress or eliminate key members of the family who posed a threat to their joint operations.
• The Marcel name became a target, and through orchestrated means, many were systematically removed.

Key Figures & Experimental Research

Several researchers are named in connection with classified genetic and biochemical experiments conducted on unwilling subjects:

• Dr. Harrison Lockridge – Lead researcher on genetic resilience studies.
• Dr. Elaine Voss – Developer of neurological conditioning programs.
• Dr. Samuel Brantley – Specialist in behavioral modification serums.
• Dr. Olivia Kincaid – Oversaw trials of the L-8:M serum and related Vault-Tec enhancements.

Vault-Tec Experimental Compounds Linked to the Marcel Family

• L-8:M Serum – A regenerative compound with severe biological side effects, designed to enhance durability but with unpredictable consequences.
• Project Redveil – A classified initiative aimed at tracking, controlling, and, if necessary, neutralizing subjects with heightened physical capabilities.
• Serum T-39 – An early-stage suppressant designed to curb aggressive tendencies, later deemed highly unstable.

Darryl Marcel: A Myth Turned Threat

Among the most unsettling revelations is how my brother, Darryl Marcel, was documented.

• Labeled as a rogue, highly dangerous anomaly, he was considered both a spectacle and a potential hazard.
• Sightings of him in both human and Rougarou forms were logged as either urban legend or unverified intelligence.
• In an effort to contain public curiosity, a children’s nursery rhymes were crafted to transform him into folklore—an eerie warning disguised as a song.

Nursery Rhyme: The Wolfman

(A haunting tune, reminiscent of The Muffin Man, often sung in hushed tones to entertain or warn children.)

Where, oh where did the Wolfman go?
They saw him high, they saw him low.
On the rooftops, in the grave,
By the river, in the cave.

Hush now, hush—don’t make a sound,
Or the Wolfman’s lurking all around!
He’s in your space, he’s at your door—
Watch your step, or be no more!

Nursery Rhyme: The Wolfman Alternate Version

(Sing-song melody, often whispered at night to scare or entertain young children.)

Who walks late when the moon shines bright?
Who growls deep in the dead of night?
Who’s got claws that scratch the door?
Better not wait to find out more!

Run and hide, don’t make a peep,
Or the Wolfman comes while you’re asleep!
His eyes glow red, his teeth so white,
He’s watching close—stay out of sight!

They say he’s real, they say he’s near,
Howling loud for all to hear!
But if you see him, don’t you cry,
'Cause the Wolfman’s fast and you can’t hide!

Naomi and Mike Marcel Jr.: Vanished Pieces

• Naomi is briefly mentioned, suggesting she escaped whatever fate was intended for her.
• My own name appears as well—Mike Marcel Jr., listed as cryogenically frozen—but no further records confirm whether I survived the process.

“This is Unreal… Yet So Real.”

As the messages fade from the screen, I sit motionless, absorbing the implications.

This is unreal… and yet, it’s so real that it’s terrifying.

Then, a smirk creeps across my face.

“Pshhh?! I’m alive.”
