The Unexpected Return

Richard is fatally wounded by his encounter with a neptune but despite the odds he survives. Now he wonders the guardhouse and stumbles into a room filled with chemicals.

In that very room was a syringe filled with the Prototype virus. Richard spotted it and limped towards it. He then grabs it and injects it to himself without double thinking.

Seconds later pain surges throughout his body and he collapses on the floor.
He starts to cough out blood.

Despite the the pain he is feeling he struggles to get up and successfully does. Richard then notice his wounds rapidly heal. This very much surprised him as he did not know the virus to be that strong.

But what surprised him more was a pair of red eyes staring back at him from a mirror.
