The story involves a soldier and scientist who have escaped from Porton Down and their realisation of what is really going on.

Plot

A soldier on manoeuvres in Iraq survives a gas attack and ends up being spirited back to England where he ends up at Porton Down being experimented on. Strange lights appear over the buildings and he uses the confusion to grab a doctor and a visiting dignitary to escape.

Government officials start to mobilise resources to chase them down but their psychic nearly kills himself before he can be activated.

Crossover

The story turned out to be part of the Smithiverse – at the end Danny's soul is uploaded into a cloned body by Winwood and Cord of Indigo Prime.[1]

gollark: Personally, I suspect the thought process is something like:- "Hmm, CC does not look like [Windows/MacOS/whatever the user was brought up on and uses lots]"- "I must make it like this! This is an obvious usability improvement."- "Clearly nobody has thought of this already or, as it's obviously better, it would be used everywhere."
gollark: And some bundled programs, primarily other people's.
gollark: The majority of "OS"es are glorified startup screens maybe with a GUI or something. This is *not useful*.
gollark: SquidDev explained it here: https://gist.github.com/SquidDev/6fa444798bbe01f4068bf82a76ac273f
gollark: "OS"es are one of CC's most popular projects, despite most of the implementations of them delivering near-zero value.
