Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
Earl’s Rent-a-Space is open around the clock to those with a code to the razor-wire fence gate. Each unit has its own padlock. A gigantic tree limb snapped off, crushing a number of units on the side of the property facing the highway.Unit 0171 is among the damaged storage spaces. The gate to the facility remains locked,but another limb has smashed part of the chain-link flat and allows entry.

Brian doesn't see anyone else around, including the other members of his team. Caution tells him to wait, but after examining the body he’s afraid of what might happen if they don’t act now.
He climbs through the gap in the fence, moving towards Unit 0171.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
At Earl’s Rent-a-Space unit 0171, a giant tree limb that had been growing overhead snapped under the weight of the ice, caving in the walls and ceiling. Everything inside lies in a jumbled heap of boxes, plastic evidence bags, and icy wood. The security system, a motion sensor plugged into the main power line and built with a phoneline to send its alarm to Mills and to Delta Green is a smashed wreck. More disconcerting than the breach is the footprint found in the snow at the inside corner of the unit.It’s recent and lies next to a frozen pile of bloody vomit.

Brian looks at the footprint and the vomit. “Skip Mills?” he wonders.
He takes out his cellphone and takes a picture of the footprint. “Why only one?” He sends it to Mike's cellphone with instructions to try and match it to any of Mill's footwear, and to interview Mills or search his place before coming to the storage unit.
Removing an evidence bag and vinyl gloves from his pockets, he scoops up some of the vomit for later analysis.
Next he begins to look through the contents of the unit.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
A live canary looks back at you, sitting on a perch in a silver cage. The cage has no food or water but the bird seems fine. Dust and cobwebs in the box suggest an advanced age, and a long period of complete inactivity.

“What on earth?” whispers Brian in amazement.
“I’d better take this one with me” he thinks. He continues looking around.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
You find a pane of glass with the biohazard symbol on it. You might wanna call in what you find.

Brian's stomach turns over when he hear's Mike's news. He calls Hill and tells him about the symbol and the possible exposure of Mills.
“We need a hazmat team out here now Hill. I don’t care what it takes, you need to make it happen. You can’t expect the three of us to clear this mess up”.

"I can't have a clean up team out there for another 48 hours, and they won't be there to ask questions. Q-Cell doesn't have a lot of fucking options right now. I don't care what you have to do, you have full discretion but know that if this second team comes in a lot of innocent lives are gonna be lost. We need the rest of the green box inventoried to be sure exactly what might be out there. From what you've sent us just make sure that pane does not shatter and keep that bird in that cage and under no circumstances feed it. I really wish I could tell you what to look for but A-Cell has my hands tied on this one." Hill is still on the line.

“What are you talking about, ‘innocent lives will be lost’? I need a hazmat team to prevent lives from being lost. Whatever was here, well, it’s likely it’s out, and it needs containing. Now you need to tell whoever in A-cell to get off their asses, or I’ll be forced to call in the CDC. I mean it Hill. You have 24 hours, not 48. I’ll call you back when I’ve finished the inventory and you can give me an update.”
He hangs up the phone, shaking in frustration. He continues checking through the storage unit.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
A large list printed on yellowed computer stock, accordion-folded. It is easily forty inches thick. Each entry contains the single exacting description of a pair of hands:“Caucasian. Male. Glove size large/23 cm. Unkempt nails,bite marks on the thumbs. Wedding band tan-line, but no ring for 3 years and 2 months previous. Black hair on knuckles. Scar on left metacarpal from carving accident in woodshop, fall semester 1994.” Reading the entire list reveals that Agent Scott's own hands are on the list, followed by the hands of whomever touches the list next. There are thousands more entries on the list after those. The last two entries read “...used to staunch puncture wound.Abdomen. Mortal: ruptured spleen and perforated bowels.Death in 2 min 19 seconds” and, finally, “Flames.”

The list of hands details the future - how can that be possible? Only God knows the future. And what does 'flames' mean? Simply that the list is destroyed, or something worse? Brian's faith is beginning to weaken, and there is nothing he can do to stop it.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
Only one box remains.
Hundreds of yellow legal pads contain failed drafts of Escaping Altimira, an unpublished novel by one-off 1960s literary star Ryan Whitehead. The paper is smeared with moisture. Sifting through the decades of drafts eventually leads to Whitehead’s initial Amazon notes (Handout B) and his eventual suicide note (Handout A). There is also an ammo box with Portuguese lettering on the side; reveals it to be Brazilian from the 1960s. The metal has been bent and crushed from the inside, where thousands of tiny scratch marks can be seen.
Here’s a summary of what can be learned from studying
the handout:
»»An unnatural thing cut from the mouth of Albert
Capchka was what escaped from GB 224.
»»The thing is from a tropical climate.
»» Sex and violence are dangerous temptations often
confused by those affected.
»»The thing in the ammo box is somehow connected
to a hooting sound in the trees.
»»Whitehead was driven to a life of reclusive madness
by the events in the Amazon.

Brian finishes reading the notes. “I guess Skip Mills opened the box” he says to himself. “I need to get to the others”.
He calls Mike as he walks back to the car.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
No answer from Mike or Sarah on the phone or the radio.
Hill answers, "Q-Cell's only objective now is to find all the infected and eliminate this infestation by any means possible. Backup is on the way but no one will be there for at least another day. The isolation there in Lafontaine won't last long and we can't let these things escape. Do whatever is necessary"
A strange sound seems to be coming from the darkness, a hooting intermixed with lots of strange clicking sounds, the strange jungle sound seems to come from the distance all around you.

Brian's blood runs cold as he hears the noises. Is there more than one now? How can they stop the spread?
He needs to get to the others. He jumps in the cruiser, hoping he can find his way. He’s thankful he asked Mike for Mill’s address earlier.

The whole drive Brian swears he sees movement in the darkness behind the cruiser. The sounds never seem to grow any more distant. Despite the distraction, Brian handles the car well. He hears someone call in an altercation at Skip Mills address over the radio.

Re: Green Box/Earl's Rent-A-Space
Brian thumps the steering wheel in frustration when he hears the call. He hopes he’s in time, but the address is so far from his location.
