Tests on the prehistoric fauna show extremely close genetic relationships with
extant and extinct terranian animals. It might be that the portal had performed
a transposition in time, unfortunately the portal device had been destroyed
when security had put down the fauna.

Program S37ZBE, investigation of XE037 on inert human bodies, is making great
strides. Recently we found that XE037 has no effect when introduced to a
deceased body; revivication only occurs when the subject is exposed to XE037

S37ZBE, the special investigation into the effects of XE037 on inert human
bodies, has made terrific discoveries. It seems that it occasionally displays
a mutagenic property which manifests itself after termination of the subject,
resulting in a striking variety in postmortem morphology.

in size, acquiring enough strength to reduce a concrete wall to rubble. It

Jakobson was killed today by one of S37ZBE's subjects; ironic considering how
hard he fought to keep the project active. Alarmingly, his corpse revivified
immediately. This suggests that XE037 may have contaminated the lab at large.

It has begun. The XE037 contamination has spread for miles, and those who
have since deceased have revivified. It is my fear that extremely large

We have even more distressing news than the widespread XE037 contamination,
there are reports of the XE037 mutating into various new variants. See
data files on XE037a - XE037f. Research on the effects of these variants
is ongoing. We do know that XE037d shows signs of PE062 immunity, and
XE037b can revive various breeds of canines. However, revival is not
as guaranteed as standard XE037 humanoid infection. Canine body size seems
to influence the chances. See experiment tXE037b_c.

Today we found our solution, quite by accident. It was found that XE037 is
