Colonial Research Cottage

Krynoid Containment Cottage

The historic two-story cottage stands isolated on the research grounds, its gray clapboard siding peeling under decades of coastal mist. Beyond its front porch, the overgrown garden wilts under the Krynoid's creeping vines, their tendrils probing the windows while the structure groans under assault. Inside, the narrow hallway tilts underfoot, its warped floorboards slick with damp and crushed chlorophyll as tendrils slither through cracks. A single oil lamp throws jagged shadows across the sitting room's cold fireplace, its mantel strewn with Scorby's research papers and broken vials. Refugees press against the walls as the cottage shudders with each RAF strike—first one blast shakes the adjoining potting shed, then another detonates directly against the Krynoid clinging to the rear wall, sending green ichor flying through shattered panes. The final explosion engulfs the entire structure in a fireball that consumes centuries of institutional history along with humanity's last containment effort.
