Untarctica (Vertical Slice)

Something is rotten in the South Pole.

From 3 months now, all contact with the Magnus Coriolis research station has been lost -- all human contact, at least; Disfigured monsters will still make regular calls, but their wet squeals and clicking growls are unintelligible even to the most advanced AIs.

A preemptive bombing was begrudgingly outruled by the UN, as the benefits of instantly clearing the threat failed to outweigh the loss of decades worth of ultra-classified science. The situation must be carried out... artisanally and, most importantly, with the utmost secrecy that no armed force could ever achieve.

This situation needs someone who has done it before, no matter how long ago; someone like you.
