Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Project: Mimics.

Level: Keter.

Reading authority: Grade A, and above.

Narrative:

Atlantic time, September 03, 2026, at 09:01, the object crashed in southern France through a transport vehicle disguised as a meteorite.

The center of the fall is a small town called Fiak, with a population of around 10,000 year-round.

Within minutes of the object falling onto the town of Fiac, the entire population of the town was killed by the object.

Simultaneously, the UNSC deployed the French Front near the town of Fiac to engage in an exchange of fire on the object at 09:25.

However, the project easily and severely damaged the French front of the UNSC.

Including residents of the UNSC and various towns in southern France, encounters killed a total of 33,432 people.

The object has the ability to change its shape according to the environment and the characteristics of the opponent, so it was named Mimic by the company owner William Russell.

The class of object races resembles a hive society.

The brain is an Omega in the shape of a giant sea anemone, the alpha of the guard and detection type, and the worker bee mimic at the bottom.

If Alpha is killed, then Omega's time restart ability will be triggered.

The specific restart time of the mimic race has not yet been studied, but according to Dr. Rebecca Chalkbos' deduction, it should be between 24 hours and 72 hours.

Moreover, according to the mimicry race, it can easily break through the defenses in low-Earth orbit and unilaterally defeat the UNSC's French front.

As well as the ambush of Colonel Karina Les Pruss, and fifteen ghost agents and other events, and through computer simulations, it is known that the project has been restarted at least two hundred times.

The project's only weakness is the Omega being the brain.

The only Omega discovered by the company so far has been personally killed by the owner of the company, William Russell, and the entire mimetic race that invaded the earth has also been wiped out.

However, Dr. Rebecca Chambers believes that the subject race is like a kind of virus to the universe, drifting randomly in the universe.

Once a planet with living things is found, the planet will be invaded.

The extremely low possibility is to plunder resources, and the more possibility is to enhance one's own warfare, strategic awareness and tactics through other creatures and civilizations during the invasion process.

It is equivalent to a species developing in a more perfect direction, so invading a planet with creatures and civilizations is an instinct of the project.

Dr. Rebecca Chambers also stated that she does not deny that there may be other branches of mimic races in the universe, although this possibility is very low.

Special Containment Procedures:

Since the item belongs to an alien species and is not an abnormal phenomenon, and the only way to deal with the item is to kill the Omega that exists as a brain.

So the current containment status is 'Cleared'.

However, the company's technical force recovered the remains of Omega and Alpha, as well as a few well-preserved worker bee mimics.

These corpses, as well as the plasma that exploded when Omega died, have all been transported to the fourth underground floor of the hive for frozen storage.

Anyone with the exception of Catherine Elizabeth Russell and Dr. Rebecca Chambers wishing to conduct research on the object's corpse requires approval from the Olympus Board of Directors.

September 10, 2026.

Paris.

Local clock: 11:20.

The curfew was lifted three days ago in this romantic city. Although the prosperity is not as good as before, the streets are still full of people and traffic.

At this time, a thousand meters above Paris, the battleship group of the Zero Fleet is moored.

In the center of Paris, there is the Umbrella Hotel, which is 200 meters high.

Conference hall on the top floor of the hotel.

In the huge conference hall, single seats were arranged by the hotel staff.

Sitting on these seats are reporters from various media, news and radio stations.

On the left, right, and rear of the conference hall, there are photographers following their own reporters, and they are pointing their cameras at the front of the conference hall.

On the podium in front of him was Andre who was giving a speech and wearing the uniform of General Umbrella.

This seventy-year-old veteran still looks like he is in his fifties due to the fruit of life given by William.

For the reporters, they just thought that Andre was well maintained and Umbrella's biotechnology, so they didn't have too many doubts.

Andre, who was standing behind the desk, looked at the paper speech on the table, and said in a solemn voice to the many reporters present:

"...a total of approximately 33,000 casualties.

The above is the summary given by Umbrella and the UNSC regarding the attack by alien forces in the town of Fiak.

So, do you guys have any questions? "

As soon as the words fell, most of the reporters present raised their right hands to ask questions.

Andre looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a young reporter, and he waved his hand to him and said softly:

"So what's your problem?"

The young reporter stood up, organized his language, and asked:

"General, why can you Umbrella and UNSC troops solve the attack of an alien species in one day.

But why not keep them out of low Earth orbit?

Are the space station, which costs tens of billions of dollars to maintain every year, and the electromagnetic gun array, just a decoration?

Moreover, netizens on the Internet claimed that these alien creatures are just a kind of man-made robots, a bureau jointly produced by your company and the UNSC.

It is said that it is to make humans panic about aliens, so that your company and UNSC can obtain more funds to develop their own armed forces.

General, I hope you can give me, or us, an answer in this regard. "

"Young man." Andre looked at the young reporter and explained quietly:

"We already have a clear understanding of how this alien species cracked our defense system in low-Earth orbit, and it is a special technology belonging to this species.

Since this is a military secret, I can't tell you much, but what I can tell you is...

This extraterrestrial species we named 'mimetic'.

As the name suggests, they have the property of simulating based on their environment, making them a rather tricky species.

However, our doctor and research team discovered the weakness of mimic species in the first place, that is, they are similar to the bee colony system.

Then, before the start of the large-scale erosion of Mimics, we discovered the head of Mimics and dispatched Astartes troops to carry out airborne raids.

As a result, the Mimic Head was successfully killed by the Astartes forces, otherwise we would not be able to hold a press conference in Paris at this time.

and also!

What conspiracy theories on the Internet are pure bullshit!

That being the case, then we can also publish the combat video to completely dispel your doubts. "
