His father always told him, never expect anything to go according to plan, they always never do, and he should be as adept as him in finding ways to maneuver through the adventure when the plan inevitably falls apart.
Unfortunately, his father never had to deal with the instance that the antagonist in the adventure's an embodiment to body horror wrapped up as a plague doctor that isn't wearing an outfit that retained some semblance of intelligence.
Theodore and Commander Ryan managed to get inside of the storage with hopes of taking up the tranquilizers, but they discovered smashed bottles on the ground, like someone took their arm and went down the aisles knocking off the bottles of tranquilizers.
Commander Ryan hesitated at the thought the UNIT did it and Theodore agreed with him as he showed the commander claw marks on the ground leading up and down aisles that the bottles fell from.
Aghast, Commander Ryan remarked, "You mean it did this?"
The Plague Doctor went out of its way to destroy the bottles of tranquilizers and it brought up a question of when, because the doors into this storage's sealed off, nobody could've gotten inside, and someone would've noticed the broken glass when they searched the rooms before sealing them on a patrol.
Didn't make any sense until Theodore found the lock into the room's completely marred by long claw markings.
"It picked the door?" Commander Ryan flinched as Theodore showed him the claw marks.
His icy blue eyes glistened in the torch light, Theodore responded that the Plague Doctor likely followed the officers as they patrolled the area, when they went to the door to the storage, maybe one of them talked about the tranquilizers, resulting in the Plague Doctor sabotaging their chances at subduing it again.
"It knew?" Commander Ryan's astonished as Theodore tells him the Plague Doctor figured out that they're trying to subdue it, again, and did the only logical thing it could think of, destroy the bottles.
The chaos and confusion, no doubt the Plague Doctor sought an opportunity to ensure that they couldn't put it down with the tranquilizers.
Pointing his finger, Commander Ryan asks if Theodore's implying that the Plague Doctor still retained some semblance of intelligence, and Theodore replied that he's not sure, but it's smart enough to recognize the importance of those bottles.
Commander Ryan reminded Theodore that they're planning on killing it and there's a look on Theodore as he shoved his hands in his pocket, looking around.
He said, "It knows."
Staring at him with confusion, Commander Ryan asked what he meant, and Theodore replied that the Plague Doctor wasn't stupid. It knew that they put it under and with some vague intelligence, did what any logical creature would: suppress the use of the tranquilizers.
It'd also know that they'll want to execute it, but something stuck out, nobody's died since the Plague Doctor escaped.
It only killed Isaac, but no one else.
Didn't make sense, any creature would've attacked if it's in the same position as the Plague Doctor, but not the Plague Doctor.
Darkness everywhere, the teams spread so thin, they can't hope to corral the Plague Doctor.
Perfect opportunity for hunting them, but it's not.
Perhaps because they haven't attacked it, it's not feeling the desire to attack, but it only raised questions, and Theodore didn't have any answers.
He's baffled as much as Commander Ryan's until he stumbled across a suggestion.
"Why wouldn't it try to escape, why is it still here?" Theodore asks an aimless question to Commander Ryan and the commander processed the question as he thought about the answer before shrugging.
