Extermination Protocol—Failure!
The Extermination process had gone as badly as possible. The FAILSAFE was lost. Soul Contortion had worked for some time, but the CONTRADICTION had been able to undo its effects and claim its Base Host for itself. CONTRADICTION was now with PREDATOR again, and they were approaching the core.
Now, there was no FAILSAFE to stop them.

Still no possible choices. This was disturbing.
CONTRADICTION was a neonate anomaly in a HUMAN Host Body.
CONTRADICTION had a HUMAN mind active in the Host Body.
Decision?
Possible. Dangerous but possible. Extermination Protocol required an upgrade but the Risk to Reward ratio was high.
