There were four creatures aboard the ONI research facility Argent Moon, resting in the laboratory's tanks.[1][2] The creatures were the highly mutated and misshapen bodies of asteroidea merozoite victims with a hereditary cellular condition known as delta-beta thalassemia. Rather than dying shortly after infection like most victims, humans with this exceedingly rare genetic disorder would instead suffer grotesque skin over-growth and bone malformation, gradually transforming into something no longer recognizable as human.[3][4] The creatures were destroyed with the facility when Blue Team sabotaged the station.[5]
