Trivia
- The facility is located roughly 5220 meters down.
- The door is covered in scratches spelling out ominous warnings such as "help us", "deliver us from evil" and Latin translating to "insatiable hunger".
- The sample is shown to grow rapidly and is discovered to be a highly virulent form of mold.
- Peter theorizes that the mold might behave similar to Cordyceps, a fungus that forces ants to return to their colony which in turn releases spores and infects the entire colony.
- Peter is attacked by a large creature made up of screaming infected hosts that have all been melted into one organism.
