INFORMATION RECORD: Project "VEREN" ID AZC-TRI/0A1 --- /// PROJECT OVERVIEW \\\ --- Project "VEREN" began on [REMOVED], by order of [REMOVED] VEREN was an attempt to hybridize the "Vernid" subspecies with specific genes from "Naja Katiensis". During the project, a breach was detected in Lab-C3. 3 staff were left in a state of cerebral death, and 5 suffered fatal burn wounds. Below is the only remaining MAGNA logs from Lab-C3, dated [REMOVED]. Scientific data is available on AHISCI servers. NOTE: DATES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR BREVITY.

The following is a combat log, generated by MAGNA's AI Combat subroutine.

For human readability, this log has been written in first person, grammatical English.

Pure data form reports are available on AHISCI servers.

Data interpretations provided by MAGNA are represented with { }.

COMBAT LOG: BEGIN 1:59 AM.

I've made contact with subject VEREN. Target heat signature located in maintenance tunnel C3:RC232. Moving fast.

Subject moving to reactor 2 coolant port. Diverting to intercept.

{this thing has metal teeth!?} Confused. The target has attached to my upper right forearm.

Deploying shoulder missiles. Target detached, {took my damn arm!} right arm has been destroyed up to shoulder pads.

{this acid hurts.}

Made contact with the security team. Cognitive function rapidly deteriorating. Attempting to gain information.

VEREN has bypassed the surgical eye implants from experiment C3-N21. Target has regained control of hypnotic influences.

{not that they work on me.}

Terminating critically injured staff and security team per security protocol EM3.

Security detects that target has left the building. {oh well...}

Returing to the core room. Disengaging remote harness and combat exoskeleton.

COMBAT LOG: END 02:15 AM.

Target remains unrecovered.
