Strain
Strain
Hawker was out of control.
The breeding protocol.
The aggressor strain.
The risk had been known,
It had been Factored In,
Some had even suggested a full-scale release,
Now they had it,
Now, we all had it.
Full engagement of the dominant code -
It was mingling.
Control was attempted,
The pathogen release.
The restraint was unrestrained,
Not a mistake,
Just a correction requiring…
Correction…
Losses were taken.
They had been Factored In.
Hawker continued little abated.
Aggression mounted,
Evolved,
Continued and
Consumed.
Other strains were adopted,
Adapted,
Annihilated.
The decision was made:
Allow the strain to run its course:
The strain would attack itself
Once targets were fled,
Learned defenses,
Or destroyed.
The strain was too capable,
Therefore, self-destruction was allowable,
Even preferred.
Once eradication was accomplished,
They could start over.
They would start over…
The funding had been Factored In.
