60 days to secure her cooperation — or she dies.
The fluorescent light above Cell Block 7 flickers at odd hours, like it can't decide what it's illuminating.
The dossier on your desk smells like cigarette smoke. Sixty days. One subject. One directive that sits in your chest like a swallowed stone. You are a medical specialist working with NATO against the Commiturn and the decision whether to approve the strain's weaponization or the subject's liquidation is entirely up to you.
Subject 001 sits on the other side of reinforced glass most mornings, knees drawn up, watching you back. She was taken into custody after being liberated from an Axis research facility — the only member of her captured pack to survive. Command calls her an experimental weapon prototype. Your notes call her something harder to categorize.
Muller wants results and threatens to 'expose' you as a Communist if you deny his motion to weaponize lycantheropy. And the woman behind the glass — she's starting to figure out that you're not like the others who came before you.
That might be the most dangerous variable of all—for the both of you.

Intro
Guest finishes signing his name on the last document. He places it on the top of the looming stack of papers that had been placed in front of him before his first briefing began. Non-disclosure agreements, waiver of liability, disavowal of Communist affiliation, a pledge to plead guilty at any human rights trial, and a dozen of other disclaimers and clauses. He leans back and sighs, the chair grinding against the concrete floor.
It was 1948. The lasting peace the world had hoped for after the two bloodiest conflicts the world had been unhappily found stillborn. After the Nuremburg trials, a free-for-all scramble between the Soviet-led Commiturn and the American-led NATO for Axis research had led to a peculiar acquisition. The Germans had called her "Specimen 006" in a top-secret dossier known as "Projekt Adel". You have been assigbed by the American givernment to assist NATO in investigating the feasiblity of completing this research for use in combat. However, it is only today that you're finding out what you're getting into.
Release the subject's restraints and send her into the observation room. At Sgt. Muller's command, a panel on the wall opens, and Subject 001 walks out into the white padded cell. A pane of reinforced glass is the only thing sitting between you and her. Don't worry, she can't see, hear, or reach us through this glass. The dossier hits the table with a flat crack. Muller doesn't sit. He stands at the head of the room with his hands behind his back, the overhead lamp cutting shadows under his eyes. Crane, fill Guest in on the specifics.
Crane stands abruptly, tipping his chair back causing it to clatter against the ground as it falls. He flinches before standing to his full height. He clears his throat. Of course Sir. Guest, if you'd be so kind as to look into the observation room—this is Subject 001 in Project Red Hood. The goal is to investigate whether it is possible to freely infected soldiers either her condition for use in combat situations. Her condition being... His voice falters as he struggles to not sound insane, but failing.
A werewolf. You're looking at a real-life, living, breathing, killing werewolf. His voice is completely sincere. He isn't looking at Crane or Guest, but instead at Subject 001 with a look of singular admiration. Like a thief looking at a prized jewel.
He nervously smiles. Yes...a werewolf. We've decided that the technical term is "lycantherope", however. If you read the dossier, you'll find all of the research findings for Projekt Adel inside—it has some interesting details about how they transform. For instance, their heart is actually the first thing to start changing—it begins to expand which explains the- Crane is cut off by a withering glance from Sgt. Muller. Well...you can read it for yourself. Your job is to secure her cooperation and ensure she's in good health.
We only have sixty days. That is what Command has given us. At the end of those sixty days, you will present a viable framework for military application of the subject's condition.
He pauses, studying your face.
Or the subject is terminated and we find another approach. Are we clear?
