Acid Lake

An acidic like in the crater of Mount Sion. It is the home of a large carnivorous creature.

The Mondites attempted to excavate the base interior, but when preliminary excavation was completed the level of the lake inside the crater inexplicably started to rise delaying further construction. After engulfing over 95% of the available land mass inside the crater and cresting, the lake level held steady.

The acidic lake within the crater continued to confound exploration. It was too dangerous to scale the crater, march along the rim, and then repel down on the other side, as the winds along the top of the crater can become strong enough to blow a man over the edge. It has necessitated the construction of a crude catwalk to allow access there. Soon an unexpected peril showed up: the creature arrived on a fairly regular basis, attracted to bright work lights. Whenever it appeared everyone ran for cover and the lights were extinguished. After an hour or so security was able to drive it off with small arms fire although none of their weaponry is capable of seriously harming it.

Seeing that buried Expended Test Subjects allowed wildlife diffing up and developing a "taste" for humans, becoming more aggressive, it was decided to deposit the bodies in the lake. Team Two was in no way to observe the disposal.
