As Shou walked into the base, many of the SSF soldiers crowded around him. They asked him all kinds of questions and inspected him thoroughly. They knew he was in the Scottish Base when it exploded, and they wondered how he survived. "Don't ask question, just get back to work..." He swatted them away, gesturing over to their work stations.
In truth, Shou was lucky to have survived. His curse allowed him to evolve further this time; this power would be used to crush Scotland mercilessly. As he walked to the infirmary, he began to notice a change in himself. He stopped at a mirror, only to inspect himself. His hair had grown even longer and took on a whiter color, and his eyes had turned to a pale lavender. All of his scars had disappeared, and he was even more muscular than before. The curse was changing him...
As he walked into the infirmary, Shou saw that Sam was not there, yet. The nurses began to swarm around him, asking him of his conditions. "I'm fine. I'm here to see the Commander. I'll just wait over there..." He stepped over to a corner of the room and leaned against the wall, awaiting Samantha's arrival.
