you call that least gruesome? THAT WAS SICK, THE SICKEST VIDEO YET! SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE, thank GOD i had dinner 3h before or i would pukeUndead-Hippie said:
i dont see how they are getting closer, they just seem to be playing with the virus. the first dosage was a micro one, but the subject went into a state of coma just like the people who are infected are but since it was a microdosage it didnt do anything. in the 2nd injection because of the enzyms the cells could not clean themself, therefore started to die, the digestive system was destroyed and the organs liquified. oster suffered a brain loss, though not because of an infenction. and now...seems at this was the injection with most like the chimeran virus. eyes turned yellow, and i suspect his metabolism was increased since that would explain so much tissue produced...like there was a wound but probably that injection messed too much with his metabolism again, so id suspect it was producing more than even the chimera did and all that tissue...well you saw. ghastly video, again a horrible way to die
new codes are up. my happiness is gone after watching this video...
Pearl Harbour, Hawaii (Japanese Defensive Perimeter)
[Returning from the expedition to Japan, the Allied Naval forces rest and refit in the central naval base and hub for the entire Pacific Ocean. Lined up on the famous Battleship Row, are the battleships of both the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy. As I make my way along the deck, I see Japanese crews working feverishly to prepare the massive 70,000 ton Yamata battleship, while next to her, lies the US Pennsylvania-class Battleship, the Arizona. Although no naval battles have been fought as of yet, heavy losses have occurred in all the world’s navies with the fall of almost all of Eurasia’s ports and harbors. The Imperial Japanese navy itself was hardest hit from the battle on the home islands. Yet despite that, Pearl Harbor is almost overflowing with capacity as warships cover almost every square inch of water around the naval base. Gunther Krech, a German U-boat commander, runs me through the tour of battleship row during one of his furloughs.]
You’ve probably heard of the mass panic that resulted from the invader’s as they took over Europe. What you probably haven’t heard much of, were the massacres that occurred in all the great harbors of Europe. I was only stationed in Venice you see, when this happened, but people tell me it was repeated everywhere else across the continent. Barcelona, Danzig, Athens, Genoa, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Antwerp…the list goes on, anywhere in Europe where land meets water, people were swarming the ships, desperately trying to get away from the Chimera horde that literally were breathing down their necks from behind. I can’t even begin to fathom how many people got killed in these traps, either by the Chimera or by each other or from simply drowning.
I was stationed as part of a UED evacuation force that was supposed to provide naval transport and artillery support for the land forces in Italy. By that time the Chimera had already absorbed Germany as a whole, along with Yugoslavia, and were already making their way across the Rhine into Belgium and France, while the Greeks and Brits held them at Thermoplyae in Greece. That left only the Italian front, and I can only say that with the outdated tanks and equipment the Italian leader was kind enough to provide for his men, it was a soft spot that was going to be exploited.
[He shakes his head]
Don’t get me wrong, the Italians are marvelous soldiers, and I’ve known many German army instructors who have gone to the country for Alpine combat training. However, what’s the use of having good men if you just give them sardine cans for tanks?
Anyways I’m getting sidetracked. What matters that night was that the Italian army was losing on all fronts, and the civilians from all over Europe were already rushing towards the nearest port to get to the sea. As far as we knew at that time, the Chimera possessed no naval units or means of traveling over water, so it was a natural instinct for the people to flee towards the harbor cities.
Our U-boat was a Class X (XB) type, the largest U-boat ever constructed by the German navy. Our original purpose was to lay mines on enemy sea lanes, but we also doubled as a long range cargo ship, and that was our purpose in Venice. The Italian government did not have enough ships necessary to evacuate all the refugees, so they called us in for a hand. Granted, our men were anxious as well about our own country, but we accepted the fact that being in the Mediteranean and all, there was little we could do. We also knew that somewhere in the crowd of panicking refugees, were at least some Austrians and Germans who could inform us of the conditions at home. Either way, we had a duty to save those people, and we performed it.
Venice itself is a city built on islands, and that was the worst part of the evacuation. We’ve had hundreds of ships in the harbor, either anchoring off shore or sending in small boats. Some fools even tried navigating their huge tankers into the bottleneck at Burano island. There were many instances of tankers and cargo ships simply colliding into each other and tearing their hulls apart, dragging their crews and passengers to drown in the bottom of the lagoon.
We took the pragmatic approach, sending in our lifeboats with officers and armed men to evacuate as many civilians as possible that we could hold. We had to arm them, otherwise the people on the shore would probably overwhelm and kill them for their boats. I can only say the men who volunteered for this duty were brave to the extreme, as we’ve had a few boats fail to return with their officers.
We also took care to surface ourselves a good few miles away from the main harbor. Not only were there hundreds of ships of all shapes and sizes crammed tightly together in a small Lagoon with a bottleneck, but there was always this crazy mass of humanity just waiting at the docks. I saw, with my own communications officer, thousands of people literally just jumping into the sea to swim madly for the ships. Many times, anything smaller than a yacht would be capsized by the sheer number of people trying to board it. It was mass panic, pure and simple. I saw more people, who had no idea how to swim but jumped in the water anyway, jump on their fellow swimmers and cling to them like a flotation device, usually drowning them both. The most haunting part was that eventually the harbor became so clogged with bodies, some ships couldn’t even leave and some of the more ingenious swimmers used their bodies as floatation devices to reach the ships.
Behind the crowd, Venice was already burning, and the howling sounds of tens of thousands of leapers and Chimeran foot soldiers were already driving the crowd further into the water. I saw a French battleship, the Lorraine open up on a Chimeran Goliath that tried to break through to the harbor, blasting a hole right through its side. The Chimera were getting too close for comfort, and soon, we had to leave.
A good portion of the ships were military, either battleships providing cover or other ships assigned to transport capacities, such as us. Yet there were also a greater number of civilian craft. These ranged from yachts, to cruise ships, to even little fishing boats and rowboats. I’ve seen almost everything happen in the harbour that night. Some of the boat owners would charge their passengers everything they had before taking them on the boat, other boats would select only rich people, others would forbid Jews or Blacks on, or some would only take young girls. It was the stupidest thing you could ever see, pure stupid and blind hatred and prejudice. Exactly the type of thing you’d expect from the end of the world.
Of course, they were the exceptions. There were many good, decent people out there who did this to save lives. I really admire the fishing boats, knowing full well that every trip they took back to the harbor, they risked getting shot, stabbed or burned for their boats.
By the time I felt that our U-boat had taken the full capacity, I gave the order to submerge, charting a course for the next safe harbor at Corsica. Some of the refugees said that wasn’t far enough, and begged me to make my way to America, ignoring the fact that I only had enough rations for the crew and maybe even them for a few days.
It was then that my first lieutenant picked up something on our Sonar. A huge blip that moved its way towards the Venetian harbor. It was odd because the sound pulses the object emitted resembled nothing like the propeller of a fellow submarine or any allied naval craft. I learned that this solid object…whatever it was, was heading towards the Lorraine.
I ordered the crew to turn off all unnecessary machinery and halt all movement as we moved into Passive sonar surveillance. It lasted for the next few minutes as we watched the object approach under the Lorraine’s Hull.
I don’t know, to this day, what happened next, but within minutes, we heard the familiar groan of steel straining, as if under enormous pressure. It somewhat resembles the long groan we hear from ships’ steel hulls after a torpedo hit, but this was far more dragged out, not resembling an explosion. Something was pushing against the Lorraine’s hull.
Next thing we knew, the Lorraine capsized, sending hundreds of its crew members into the freezing Mediteranean. Our crew picked up their screams on the sonar, and watched as one by one, the men either drowned or disappeared beneath the waves forever.
It was then we heard the sound, some ear splitting screech that emitted from the creature that tipped over the Lorraine. I alerted all nearby submarines to its presence and they were already reporting contact with the creature, but it was too fast for our U-boats. We lost contact with the first few that entered the creature’s path, but by then it had lost interest in us, seeming content to target the hulls of the large ocean liners and tankers. As much as we wanted to combat it, our first priority was evacuating the civilians, so we had no choice but to leave the area for the other combat ships that were covering the evacuation.
Do you believe that the Chimera have somehow found a way to infect creatures at sea?
I don’t see why not. The virus seems to work pretty well against mammals such as us Humans and livestock. I’m not a scientist, so I can’t comment on the biology, but when we take into account the fact that almost all the Chimeran Conversion Centres we’ve discovered so far have been near the water, either at a seafood cannery or a port. The ocean too, is the perfect environment for the Chimera because it is one of the coldest places on earth, no need for any of those cooling machines to be strapped on one of the creatures because the ocean can cool them instantly. It isn’t too far of a stretch to imagine them capturing a whale and then infecting it, or maybe just using the bodies of humans to make a creature that could swim.
All I know is, ever since Venice, we’ve been getting reports of missing persons near the coast as well as lost swimmers all around the world. It’s a very real threat, in my opinion. And it can only get worse, although we have depth charges and torpedoes, the fact that they are animals makes them a lot more versatile than our metallic submarines and battleships. I can even imagine that is exactly what happened to the British Navy when they tried to defend the Channel. These creatures got to them.
Has anyone ever successfully taken a picture of these creatures?
Only two photographs are known at this time. The first was credited towards a U-boat convoy heading to Spain. It was a routine mission, and the story goes that the U-boat had surfaced during the night to recharge her batteries and give the sailors a chance to have a smoke. While they were surfaced, an enormous sea creature appeared and climbed onto the side of the ship. The men were frightened, and began shooting at it with their sidearms, which only annoyed the beast and made it bite down on or grab hold of the forward gun. The sea monster was so massive that the U-boat began to slip to the side, and the captain feared that the open hatch might slip below the water level, flooding the interior of the boat and sinking her. The crew continued firing away at the monster, who eventually grew tired of such things and left, swimming back into the mysterious depths from which it came. The U-boat quickly submerged and chased after it, and they had to use strong lights just to find the thing and take a picture of it, but all in all, despite getting shot at, it was unusually passive.

The second picture we have is from a civilian deep sea diver off the coast of Malta. Probably one of the last civilians to have gone before the UED instituted a systematic ban on the coastlines of the continent. It was found at the bottom of the ocean by another U-boat patrol.
He hands me the photograph
I don’t think we ever found the diver.
The only known civilian photograph of a Chimeran sea creature, taken from the last shot of an undersea camera discovered off Malta. The body of the diver was never found
[Reports of missing divers and swimmers have become widespread since the fall of Danzig. Although there is speculation of infection amongst aquatic animals, there has been no documented proof of any sea animals undergoing the conversion process. With the end of the war in Europe, sea sightings have disappeared almost entirely. The identity of the creatures in the sightings, and their connection to the Chimera remain a mystery to this day.]

Sorry everyone for the lag time in updates. I've been rather busy as of late, and not just cracking a few Chimeran skulls In fact, i still haven't passed the game!
But don't worry! A nice side bonus to me playing the game, is that you get all this Juicy info I can post as war documents
Also! As a special request. If anyone with any modding skills or interest in creating something similar to resistance in HOI2 is reading this, please consider joining Stefke's noble effort to make the new Resistance mod! His thread can be found right here.

This is getting really serious! How can they combat something that they can't see? I mean there are agile, underwater creatures!
On land it is hard...impossible enough, but in the water you meet this whale-thing, well say bye-bye.

aha you found some intelligence. those things are bloody scary. but as long as its just one of them and you, very easy to kill.
So, the last question remains in all of our minds (unless I have skipped acidentally), what happened to Africa?...
Great AAR, sure made me feel funny inside make me afraid of water.

I remember in the Resistance one timeline, the Chimis took out most of the Royal Navy with nothing but giant waves
In Resistance Fall of Man, the only place where the Chimeran invade is Europe, but Africa might fall in the near future. Anyway, nice update!

Haunting update!
Nearly affected me emotionally (Would I be brave enough to stay behind at, say, Thermopylae to hold back the Chimera?...)
