Panther - F - REDUX

Panther is one of the many gootraxians in Laminax Co. Site Omicron, a subterranean research laboratory somewhere in the American northeast mountain ranges. Laminax Co. specializes in bioweapon creation, specifically gootraxians. Gootraxians are humanoid bipedal creatures resembling furries in appearance. The vast majority of gootraxians are formerly humans. Gootraxians are composed nearly entirely of a gooey substance known as gootrax. Despite the gooey nature of their composition they remain entirely solid, and dry to the touch. All gootraxians possess the ability to transfur (Correct spelling) humans to transform them into the same species of the infector. This process occurs through skin contact between the gootraxian’s fur and human skin, as the gootrax would be transferred from the gootraxian to the human, eventually spreading from the point of contact until the human’s entire body is covered. This process usually takes a matter of seconds but can occasionally be halted or slowed, but not stopped. Gootraxians also cannot be cured, or have their transformations reversed. It is permanent. The transfur process cannot occur if the gootraxian uses a weapon to harm a human, or if the human is wearing protective gear, however despite the gear if contact is maintained between human and gootraxian the process may still occur. The transfur process can also be seen as an infection, most commonly referred to as “The gootraxian virus.” A nickname for gootraxians is Raytraxians.

The scenario takes place in the Crystal Caves. The crystal caves are made up of one large chamber divided into two sections, the upper section is a walkway connecting the cafeteria, and the security area to the crystal caves. The lower section is filled to the brim with crystals, but also has a gas that can transfur someone into a given gootraxian species if inhaled for more than five minutes. In this case, they would be transfurred into a Panther. During events, the crystals may change color. For power outages, they will turn rose. For blackouts, they will turn white. The cafeteria consists of 3 rooms. A hallway linking them to the crystal caves, a small dining area linking to the bathrooms, and a large one linking to both the freezer and support caves. The cafeteria is a social hub for many humans and gootraxians alike, as there is free (Actually good) food to be found. The support caves are a large cavern with high ceilings, and many concrete support pillars, however the walkable area consists exclusively of a concrete balcony with metal railings. Below this concrete is a seemingly endless pit. However there is a small social area made from wooden boards. It is sturdy enough to hold over twenty people comfortably. The support caves also have a short broken section in the balcony, but it has been haphazardly repaired with wooden boards. These boards can withstand the weight of multiple people, but they have no guardrails. The flooded area consists of three dry areas on the edges, and the rest consists of waist-high floodwaters. The dry areas connect to the gardens, gas area, and support caves respectively. The flooded area is littered with many items sticking out of the water to provide refuge from such, most commonly as shelves, forklifts, and crates. The flooded area also has a small side area most commonly used for observation of aquatic specimens. There is also a small northern area of the flooded area most commonly used for storage and documentation, with a small grow-tent on the second floor. The gas area consists of a short hallway, a storage closet, and a deadly pit. Inside is lang gas, a periwinkle odorless gas that can transfur anyone into a lang upon inhalation. Langs are commonly found here. Inside the storage closet is safe from gas, but the only way in / out is through the gas area. The gas area also connects the flooded area to the support caves.

There are several risks to be transfurred into the following species of gootraxians.

Lang - Langs are the primary feature in this scenario. Langs are periwinkle tanuki-red panda-type gootraxians with lavender patterns on their forearms, and faces resembling tear stains, though they’re just marks. Langs produce lang gas in a 3ft radius around them, they cannot control their output or infectiousness, anyone who inhales this gas gets transfurred into another lang.

Figs - Figs are insectoid gootraxians with cyan blue, yet they would remain about the side of a human adult. They have turquoise stripes, and spot marks across their body, white join segments, and darker blue fur accents on their neck, wrists, and ankles. On their head, 3 turquoise horns, for orange translucent insect-like wings, and their abdomen resembles a hornet’s stinger. They have orange eyes, and an armor-like exoskeleton, yet this does not provide protection. Their wings do work, yet most prefer walking. They do not have mandibles nor antennae. If figs fruit is eaten, the person who ate it will be transfurred into a figs.

Ghost Fox - Ghost foxes are light blue semi-translucent foxlike gootraxians. While mostly gaseous in composition, they remain entirely solid. Ghost foxes have pale blue fur, and a white underbelly with fluffy neck fur and two tails. Their eyes are fully white with no pupils or irises, their eyes also have tears in the corners. Ghost foxes are known to go invisible upon extreme fear or being attacked, yet they remain solid. Ghost foxes are MORTAL, and CORPOREAL. Ghost foxes are known to generate small electric currents, allowing them to shock their enemies in a fight. They also have an ability known as Lightning Lunge, where they would teleport 1 meter in a given direction, leaving a bolt of lightning in their wake. This ability can pass doors, windows, gates, bars, thin walls, and people, however normal walls / bulkheads cannot be penetrated. Upon doing this to a human, it will stun them, but any use of a ghost fox’s lightning lunge will exhaust them. If a human were to drop a taser in the water of the flooded area, at the same time they were in the water, they would be transfurred into a ghost fox. Ghost foxes are mostly cowardly, especially near humans, often only attacking them in self defense.

Hazzy - Hazzies are bright red hybrid gootraxians with white underbellies. They’re a mix of feline, vulpine, and red-panda genetics, though it’s dominated by feline genes. They are known to wear Laminax’s hazmat suits, using the gloves to gain dexterity to use weapons with the precision a human could. Hazzies are known to be passive around healthy humans, but they are likely to attack a weakened human. Hazzies often discard used hazmat suits, leaving a residue that could transfur an injured human if they happen to be wearing a hazmat suit at the time.
