Benny had set out with the other agents to investigate rumors in the outskirts of a certain Eastern seaboard city. The area was a marshland known as Slaughter Swamp, a place with a dark, supernatural history. While there were many stories of ferocious animals and of the area being a popular dumping ground for organized crime, the most interesting was of the man-beast who supposedly lived there. A being of immense size and strength that healed with incredible speed and would tear apart and devour anything or anyone that wandered into its lair. At first, the team had believed the being to be a Wendigo, creatures they had encountered before. But the facts didn’t add up. The way the being was described, it had more in common with the Monster of Frankenstein than a Wendigo: a big, muscular undead man. Another aspect was that the being in Slaughter Swamp was said to be at least ten feet tall or taller, even the Wendigo King the team had once faced hadn’t been quite that huge.
The nature of the information made the team curious as to whether the being might be another gamma mutate who was having trouble adjusting to their new existence. The only way to find out would be to explore the swamp. They set off in groups of two, with Benny heading off with Rick. They had been keeping their eyes out, with Rick being his usual chatty self, up until he wasn’t. Benny looked to see that his teammate was gone. He began searching for Rick, calling out to him and to his other teammates, though he found no reply. He grew concerned and frustrated. One of his first big missions with the team and he had already managed to get himself separated and lost.
