Characters
Dr. Evan Donaghue (Eric) needs badly to get even with his rival. He has won a Nobel prize, is at least 70 years old, (though he looks to be in his 50s) and is a manipulative old bastard. We assume his secret experiments in B-142 are unsavoury, and something to do with dead bodies. Turns out he's planning to convert humanity in to an alien hive mind. Go figure. He led a group to the Markham base 6 months ago, and most of the team were killed or are presumed dead. Only Donaghue and Shipley were known to survive. The current subject of his puppet-mastering attentions is...
Ken Rhee (Marc) A.K.A Kenskei Rheenovsky, who needs badly to get out of here, because this place is driving him batshit crazy. He's implanting shit into mice at Donaghue's say-so, and is a nervous little dude, though this may be a ruse. He's a Russian spy or something and he stole a bunch of Donaghue's notes. Thanks to Fish he knows about the hive mind now. Early on in the story, he finds a body with...
Marcus "Fish" Jones (Justin), who finds it harder and harder to survive out here without access to unlimited prescription painkillers. He heard some banging inside the Khlebnikov (it was Yuri apparently,) and went back to investigate. He found a dead Russian with a month old medical bracelet. What the fuck? After that, Ken, hidden from view, shot at Marcus on his ATV, causing it to flip. Ken left him to die in the snow. He made it back to base though, where he stole a bunch of morphine to dull the pain. Then Donaghue implanted him and three others with something that made them part of an alien hive mind and got rid of his addiction. He was sent to "get" Ryan Miller, so he could be converted too, but he broke down and ended up telling Ken Rhee about everything. He's an old timer who has taken newcomer.
Dr. Ryan Miller (Makou) under his wing. He's here to get the truth about what the hell is going on here, particularly in medical B-142. He's had a case full of Morphine, but Fish stole it. He has a clandestine arrangement with...
Captain George "Shitpeas" Shipley (Adam); the helicopter pilot. He is carrying a bit of a grudge against his employers on the base, and feels the need to get even. He and Evan are bitter enemies, and after a cash injection in to his bank by Miller's employers, he's agreed to "take care" of his rival (which is fine by him, because he'd probably do that shit for free). Donaghue forced him to leave the Markham research team behind at gunpoint, which might explain why he's so pissed off.
Dr. Molly Patel welcomed Miller to the base. She was present during his interview. She has a British accent. She's about thirty. George is a bit in love with her.
Steve something? is a researcher. He's fairly new at the base. He's one of Donaghue's hive. George broke his wrist.
