Just a few seconds into the investigation, the suspicions of the machinist were proven right. He found men and women sprawled all over the base. They were lying on the ground dead with green skin and leaking, pus-filled boils all over their bodies.
He knew right from the start that his men had been infected with a deadly disease. He also suspected the culprit to be a propagator of disorder.
His suspicion gained some ground when he realized that one of his men was missing and that person was a new member that the gang had recruited a month ago in order to bolster his defenses.
He went in search of the suspect in hopes of finding the culprit. He was hoping that the suspect would lead him to the mastermind or at least take the blame for this massive catastrophe.
