Talk:Secret of the Dark Island/1

This story involves many of the same characters as Secret of the Were-Virus, but the plot is different. The Dark Island is the setting of an attempted experiment with nuclear fusion several years ago, in an attempt to create a cheaper power source. Unfortunately, the attempt was unsuccessful, and many researchers and technicians were killed. The entire compound was sealed with concrete, but as plant roots began to break into the material, minute amounts of radiation escaped. The radiation slowly permeated over the entire island, causing gradual changes in the wildlife and plants. The plant life was the first to be affected, and as the animals ate them, changes began occuring in them as well. Soon, the creatures were growing to immense sizes, and some of them escaped the island by swimming. This resulted in the rare sightings of giant creatures, including the Loch Ness Monster. One of these animals was captured by a former military scientist, who was furious with the US military for running him off their project for dangerous experimentation. He tried to study the beast, but he neglected to feed it and it escaped his lab. This creature appeared at the very end of the Were-Virus saga. Nardek 17:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
