Collin and Red Protein
3D Render by emarukkThe CNS Vindicator floated just beyond the docking range of the abandoned meat-processing station XEN-112/P-RMX, its hull aimed at the broken ring structure like a predator poised for action. A patrol drone had intercepted an emergency capsule two-hundred-one-five minutes earlier. Its emergency signal reached the destroyer systems slightly earlier. After analyzing the capsule and message, the empty capsule was obliterated with a single shot. The message echoed in analog distortion: "Organic breach… automated loop failure… growth uncontrolled… we tried…"
The station emitted no active communications, just a beacon signal from its transponder. The Captain had decided to investigate the reason behind the escape capsule's launch to the jump point and the lack of transmission from the station. Upon exterior inspection, the station appeared damaged but still pressurized. Drones detected no life signs during their exterior examination, though internal power quietly hummed in the lower decks. The drones couldn't penetrate the pressurized station without significant risk. The station computer didn't answer confederation signals, and it looked like SI had silenced forever. All radios were dead, and only a few civilian systems were broadcasting something with low power.
Lieutenant Collin Grazhdanin and his marine team were already on their way in a boarding shuttle, equipped with breaching claws and airlock hooks ready to engage. Captain Falkenrath stood at the center of the bridge, eyes locked on the forward screen. His hands were clasped behind him, his jaw set with unreadable resolve. The command crew moved around him with practiced accuracy.
"No contact yet," Ryka Volz reported calmly. The Captain knew she'd prefer to be in the shuttle with Grazhdanin.
"They're breaching now," Lali added in a softer tone, but her excitement was audible. Jr.'s lieutenant was fresh, just out from the academy.
Falkenrath remained silent. He didn't need to say anything. The mission was already underway.
The thrusters roared with an unholy fury, heralding destruction. The impact was fierce. Metal shrieked and groaned as the structure surrendered under the onslaught, the shuttle slamming into a dead stop with a force that reverberated through every bone. It felt as though seat belts were carved into the power armor, teeth-rattling violently in the jaw, lungs threatening to burst from the chest. Collin gasped, his breath ragged, curses spilling from his lips. The boarding shuttle tore into the battered outer door of XEN-112/P-RMX's docking bay, its breaching claws plunging deep into the warped hull like talons. With a sinister hiss and a rapid barrage of thumps, expanding foam and pressure-seal bags exploded from the shuttle's sides, anchoring it with a vicious hold and forming an airtight barrier. The atmosphere inside the sealed breach tunnel clawed towards equilibrium in mere moments.
They weren't anticipating any threats. After the drones, Lieutenant Collin Grazhdanin passed through the resealed entry. "Ghost station, meat fog, and a railgun pointing at us," he grumbled into his open mic. "Yep. Perfect shift." His boots whispered against the dry, worn plating of XEN-112/P-RMX. Carver's Hollow, as the outer-rim jumprats called it. Abandoned for years. Blacklisted for breaching protein purity regulations. Yet, not shut down.
He directed six marines into the shadowy corridors. Each went their own way, with a swarm of drones leading them. Their lights flickered in staggered beams, piercing the fog that shouldn't have been on sealed decks.
"The air feels damp," one marine noted over the comms.
"It's too warm in here," another added, sounding uneasy.
They found fresh scorch marks near the entry bulkhead. No blood. No bodies. They continued behind drones that explored every corner before the men advanced.
"Air's good," Collin remarked casually as he unlocked his helmet seal and removed it with a practiced twist. There was a hiss, and indicators flashed red.
"Grazhdanin, what are you doing?" Falkenrath's voice burst through the comms, loud and intense. "Put your helmet back on. Now."
Collin remained unfazed. "Sir, the air's clear. Reads better than Vindicator's med bay. But it smells like rot. Nothing airborne. I want the ladies to see my handsome face, not my intimidating helmet."
"God's man, one day you're going to get yourself killed," Falkenrath sighed over the comms.
Deeper in the corridors, the fog grew denser. Humidity dripped from the bulkheads to the floor. Vents exhaled a slow, sickly breath, like life support gasped for its final breat. The air shifted from metallic to putrid. It smelled like warm meat left exposed.
"They tell, strong Navy man, eat some meat," Collin muttered over the comms. "Damn fools. Spend a morning cleaning a meat farm with me, and you'll be a vegetarian by dinner."
The nutrient lines had exploded, spewing messy chaos. Temperature gauges lay in ruin, useless. It almost looked like someone wanted the temperature to get too high and the food supply to end. From that point, organic mass invaded every surface, first creeping like cold frost, then swelling like grotesque fungus, and finally throbbing like raw flesh. The grotesque mass bulged and pulsed in violent spasms. It was like the mass was standing still. But, in reality, it slowly crept up the walls in chaotic lattices of repulsive protein sludge. Wild and ravenous, it grew, starved for any source of energy. The floor was a treacherous slick of half-digested feedstock ooze, a sinister trap. Grazhdanin left deep, slow-filling impressions in the slick mucosal sheen for each step. Red-veined tendrils stretched out like hungry roots, deliberate and calculating, as if they were alive and conscious, listening. Others clung fiercely to the bulkheads and ceiling, holding their grotesque grip for expanding growth and advancing towards nutrient tanks.
Some ceiling sections had already succumbed, collapsing under biomass's dense, suffocating weight and escalating heat. Masses of sinewy, muscle-like fibers latched onto the ductwork, twitching ominously with each recycled breath of air. As Collin moved forward, a violent tremor rippled through the biomass. Then another, more intense. The entire station groaned, a haunting symphony of unevenly pulsing signals, mingled with a frantic Morse code of impending doom.
"Interesting," Collin murmured, scanning his surroundings with the precision of his cybernetic targeting eye. The drone hovered nearby in an adjacent corridor. He was eager for it to come closer than ever before. A portion of the red sludge had darkened to black, and it seemed as though the spinal bone was sprouting on its surface, covered with a rigid, armor-like material.
"Looks bad. Any signs of human presence?" Falkenrath's voice crackled over the comms, causing Collin's heart to momentarily race.
"Damn. No, sir, just a whole meat Nexfood burger plastered on the wall," Collin swore and replied with exhausting urgency. Through drones and cameras, the bridge crew identified some hardened growth he had seen now. But this was new, and they had never encountered it before. It appeared as though the meat had developed bones and a protective shell around it. This wasn't their first time cleaning a meat farm, but this was definitely something new.
Suddenly, a flicker of movement startled him from ahead. Collin's pulse hammered as he realized he might have sent a drone the wrong way. His targeting HUD sputtered with static, just enough to force him to slow his pace. With his weapon snapping upward, he rounded the corner.
"This is Confederation Marine from CNS Vindicator. We are friendly." Collin said with a calm voice.
There, in the oppressive corridor, stood a woman, unmoving and ghostly. Her long, tangled black hair clung wetly to her face, slick with condensation. At the same time, her wide brown eyes fixated on an unseen terror beyond Collins's line of sight.
Collin surged forward. She was unnervingly close to one of the fragmented laboratory tanks where the organic horror had taken hold. The once-contained flesh now bulged out in grotesque formations; no longer confined, it swelled into hulking mounds like a cruel, living amphitheater. Tangled tendrils, transformed from harmless roots into sinister, grasping limbs, arched and writhed in the stale air as they reached ominously closer. With every pulsation, the mass closed in, a slender thread already winding around her ankle, another creeping menacingly up her back. The air thrummed with a vicious, predatory buzz, like thousands of small pearls clicking on their cocoons.
"Frack," Collin spat, a curse escaping his lips as instinct overrode caution. He hurled himself forward, boots barely gaining a grip on the slick, mucous-coated metal. A shout from a Marine echoed behind him, but there was no time to hesitate.
Swiftly, he seized the woman with one iron-clad hand while his other fingered the trigger of his wrist cannon aimed squarely at the encroaching flesh. The woman offered no scream; she exhaled in a slow, shuddering release, a sound reminiscent of one emerging from an artificial sleep. As his gravity boots locked him against the treacherous floor, poised between the cloying biomass and the woman, the biomass monstrosity snapped with a loud voice. A dozen jagged tendrils, some ending in serrated tips, others gaping like agape maws, lanced forth with savage intent.
Collin's wrist cannon roared to life. A searing pulse erupted, arcing into the nearest mass, instantly blackening it with blistering heat that boiled flesh as if it were mere butter. The smell of burned flesh filled the deck. A guttural, inhuman shriek tore through the air as the structure convulsed under the assault. The entire station trembled, its walls cracking in response. The woman clutched his armor like a drowning soul grasping a lifeline after waking from an unending nightmare.
"It listens. It waits for names..." The woman murmured, her voice laden with ominous dread.
Collin's gaze flicked from her terrified brown eyes to the relentless, creeping walls. He squeezed off another ferocious burst from his cannon, the searing blast making the air reek of an impending feast of destruction.
"Evacuate," thundered a command through the comms. "Out, now!"
"No names, Stray Echo, radio silence! Meat is angry!" Collin barked into the comms, his voice a jagged shard of urgency. A crisp click confirmed that his orders were understood and met without delay.
Steeling himself, he turned back to the woman and, with a surprising tenderness amidst the chaos, said with his natural charm, "Just follow the sound of my voice."
She obeyed, instinctively drawn along as they retraced Collin's path. The projected map blazed before his eyes through his cybernetic lens, guiding him steadily onward. With relentless determination, he trailed the glowing dots representing retreating Marines as they scrambled to the awaiting shuttle, drones buzzing in synchrony as they raced against the ravenous, encroaching horror.
The silence was profound as the shuttle disengaged from the station with a restrained explosion, accompanied by the eerie metallic wail of the breaching mechanism. The rockets ignited, propelling the shuttle on its course back to the CNS Vindicator.
Collins's voice shattered the silence like a blade. "Sir, perhaps it's wise to write down this station."
"Consider it done," Falkenrath replied, his tone steady. In practice, he was now military governor in the area, and his word was law. He continued, "Ryka is eager to prepare a larger meatloaf. She's armed with thermobaric warheads, ready for action."
"I'd take Kairas's vegetable stew over meatloaf any day," Collins responded. Their Qiyan, a wizard of limited vegetable rations onboard, had a knack for concocting extraordinary dishes from the simplest ingredients.
"Goodness, I reek like a kitchen," Collin remarked as the shuttle was swallowed by the cavernous belly of the destroyer. As the small craft was locked by docking hooks, the destroyer left the area with a scorching burn. As the warship accelerated away, three warheads were released into the void of space. The targeting systems locked onto various sections of the station, aiming to induce a catastrophic reactor failure. Steering rockets and burners then guided the missiles to their precise destinations.
"Welcome back. The isolation chamber awaits you all," Lalis's gentle voice crackled over the communications system as Collin and the team, along with the rescued woman, settled into their seats within the shuttle that trembled in its restraints. Meanwhile, the warship retreated from the station as if pursued by an ancient leviathan. They all felt the surge of acceleration and the disconcerting tremors coursing through their bodies.
"The report is going to be interesting," Collin remarked with a sense of boredom.

"Collin and Red Protein"?
Baby, that sounds less like a mission log and more like a space-themed OnlyFans preview.
Our boy didn't just walk into danger - he booty-strutted through a flesh rave with a cannon and charisma set to "extra crispy."
Let's be honest - Collin ain't there to "investigate." He's there to turn this meat-splosion into a one-man show, and honey, he brought protein and punchlines. That wrist cannon ain't the only thing he's firing.
He peeled that helmet off like it was a space opera striptease - "Ladies, prepare your oxygen masks… it's about to get dangerously charming."
And the whole "meat fog" horror? Please. Collin just treated that space-station biohazard like it was his ex - toxic, clingy, and overdue for incineration.
"It listens. It waits for names…"
Collin: "Good. Start with Daddy."
Honestly, this wasn't a rescue mission. It was a galactic telenovela with collagen tentacles.
That station had no idea it was about to get slayed by sass and sideburns.

Alright space cowboy, that cannon was hotter than my mixtape in a microwave-but where's the zap-BOOM-sizzle-kapow when it hits? I need FX so juicy they leave scorch marks on my screen and singe my eyebrows off in 4K!
Gimme some sizzle sparks, meat flambe, and a laser light show, not just pew-pew and polite smoke signals! This ain't a tofu takedown-it's a full-course meat massacre, and it needs seasoning.
Next render, spice it up with FX so spicy the station files a complaint with OSHA.
