ENTITY-98-F
Code Name: "Buzzkillers"
Threat Code: Beta-Class / Delta-Class
Origin Zone: Pará State, Brazil
Status: Active — Global Containment Unfeasible
Termination Status: Ongoing Eradication Protocols in Effect
Threat Profile:
ENTITY-98-F refers to an invasive species of mutated, human-sized fruit flies (approx. 1.7–2.2 meters long) exhibiting highly aggressive, carnivorous behavior. Though genetically based on Drosophila melanogaster, extensive gene-editing has resulted in a radically divergent organism capable of:
Flesh consumption via interlocking maxillae and serrated teeth
Coordinated pack-hunting behavior using airborne chemical cues
Resistance to standard insecticides and blunt trauma
Rudimentary chemical-based sensory manipulation
Estimated population exceeds 2.5 million, with colonies across northern Brazil and confirmed spread into Colombia and Bolivia. Annual death toll attributed to ENTITY-98-F attacks exceeds 200,000 casualties, primarily in rural and jungle-bordering regions.
Origin & Biology:
Created by an unidentified rogue scientific collective using advanced genetic manipulation and CRISPR-drive augmentation, ENTITY-98-F's mutation appears deliberate, though no manifesto, goal, or communication has been recovered. Their physiology includes:
Hardened wing carapace (semi-resistant to small-arms fire)
Enlarged compound eyes with optical tracking on 300° axes
Internal heat regulation glands to allow extended flight in humid biomes
Highly complex pheromone-producing forelimb glands
When ENTITY-98-F individuals rub their forelimbs together, they release a unique compound ("Xenoattractant-R4X") that:
Attracts nearby flies within a 10–15 km radius
Disrupts mammalian olfaction, rendering the sense of smell useless
In 33% of exposed humans, causes short-term cognitive interference, ranging from mild memory stuttering to full sensory hallucination
Behavior & Invasion Patterns:
ENTITY-98-F prefer warm, damp environments and often form multi-tiered nests in jungle canopies or abandoned structures. Nests may house hundreds to thousands, coordinated by chemical communication. Traits include:
Flesh-seeking aggression: will swarm mammals and strip soft tissue in seconds
Decentralized hive logic: killing one does not disrupt the group
Egg-laying in carrion, rotting plant matter, or exposed wounds
Reproduction rate: Up to 600 eggs per adult per 11-day cycle
Defense Protocol:
Foundation Response: Task Force "SIG" – Swarm Intercept Group [Units 1–15]
Despite their size and aggression, ENTITY-98-F possess several exploitable biological limitations:
Short reproductive lifespan: Each specimen breeds once before death — similar to the now-extinct New World screwworm.
Lack of dermal armor: Their chitin is not bullet-resistant. Even 5mm rounds can neutralize them within 2–4 direct hits.
Predictable swarming behavior makes ambush and bait strategies viable.
Current Tactics:
Sterile Zone Isolation – Modeled after the 1950s screwworm eradication campaign:
Extraction of all humans and livestock from infested sectors to deprive ENTITY-98-F of food
Use of sound-beacon decoys and false heat signatures to draw swarms into kill-zones
Controlled burnbacks and basic ballistic suppression to eliminate remnant populations
Localized Nest Eradication –
Operatives deploy low-caliber firearms (5mm–7.62mm) in coordinated sweeps
Thermal goggles and acoustic mapping help locate nests in forest canopy or abandoned structures
Egg clusters are neutralized with flammable gel packs and noxious larvicide foam
Task Force SIG — Swarm Intercept Group Units 1–15:
Mobile anti-infestation teams trained in bio-hazard suppression, jungle combat, and cognitive resistance protocols
Equipped with:
Suppressed AR platforms
Infrared scanners
Olfactory isolation gear
Cognitive stability injectors for Delta-tier interference cases
Task Force SIG maintains forward operating posts in Manaus, Belém, and Porto Velho, with drone overwatch assisting in fly migration forecasting.

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]
Dr. Elrich:
For the record: state your name and affiliation.
Dr. Braga:
Dr. Ítalo Mendonça Braga. Formerly affiliated with the Lattice Group. Though I suppose that doesn't mean much anymore.
Agent Voss:
It means you're the reason two hundred thousand people are dead and counting. Let's cut the bullshit — you created ENTITY-98-F. Tell us why.
Dr. Braga:
We were trying to solve protein mass conversion problems in unstable biomass. Food synthesis. High-yield replication. That was the original proposal.
Dr. Elrich:
And yet instead of synthetic meat or biofuel, we have human-sized fruit flies that eat flesh and multiply uncontrollably in jungle ecosystems.
Dr. Braga:
(slight smile)
Yes. That was the… outcome.
Agent Voss:
Outcome? You made them aggressive. You gave them predatory instincts. You engineered teeth. Flies don't have teeth.
Dr. Braga:
No, they don't. Until we gave them maxillae taken from insectivorous models — gene-spliced and overgrown. We needed to see if arthropod aggression pathways could be cross-referenced with mammalian survival drives.
Dr. Elrich:
What the hell does that even mean?
Dr. Braga:
It means we wanted to see if we could make something that would thrive no matter what. Something with no evolutionary ceiling. Something perfect.
Agent Voss:
They're not perfect. They're unstable. They breed once and die. You lost control before the second generation.
Dr. Braga:
(firmly)
We didn't lose control. The plan was never to keep them. The plan was to observe the ecological response. We knew they would burn out. The Foundation interfered.
Dr. Elrich:
You're blaming us?
Dr. Braga:
If you hadn't firebombed the test zones, the population might've self-limited. You panicked. You showed them fear. That… accelerated things.
Agent Voss:
Let me get this straight. You created giant, carnivorous, swarm-coordinating flies... to test an ecological response? That's your defense?
Dr. Braga:
That's not a defense. That's the point.
(Brief silence)
Dr. Elrich:
You also gave them a communication system. The chemical they produce when rubbing their limbs—Xenoattractant-R4X. It blocks olfactory receptors and lures more of them in. You built that on purpose.
Dr. Braga:
Yes. To simulate pheromonal overdrive. I wanted to see what would happen if an organism could weaponize its own mating signal.
Agent Voss:
And now an entire country is drowning in them.
Dr. Braga:
You're acting like I did this to Brazil. I did this from Brazil. That jungle never belonged to you.
Dr. Elrich:
One last question: Are there more nests we haven't found?
Dr. Braga:
(smiles faintly)
You've only seen the ones that hatched.
