101 Madness.

Inside the cold storage room at the Earth Alliance Base in Deatov.

Three figures stood upon a raised platform.

The platform was large enough to occupy five people at a time. Guard rails bounded its edges and a fixed pedestal stood at the very front of the platform. The pedestal held a control panel which could be used to control the giant mechanical hand that was hanging from the ceiling.

Underneath this platform was a large pit filled with a multitude of alien corpses. The corpses included those of the Sickle Bugs, Tank Bugs, and Spitter Bugs. The body of the Leader Bug could not be retrieved due to its unfortunate destruction during Lucius' 'ascension'.

Some of the corpses were relatively complete while others were smashed into meat patties. Burns and cuts littered many of the corpses reminding those who looked at them of the arduous and dangerous battle.

The gazes of the three figures atop the platform weren't directed at these corpses.
