The Thing From the Egg

In the heart of the jungle, an alien egg hatches into something monstrous, unleashing chaos at Lab 4-SJ. Tara races to the scene, only to face a creature that defies understanding—part plant, part nightmare—before it leaves Janis unharmed at her feet. Just as she begins to piece together what’s happening, the scarred Dr. Rivits appears, knocks her out, and vanishes in one of Tara’s jets.
