It Consumed the Town, Building by Building

The Fort Ellen Blob Incident. If you or someone you know lives in Texas, you've certainly heard about it.

The pink blob that consumed downtown Fort Ellen in a single night. The residue that smelt of bacon.

Such a destructive event always receives worldwide news coverage, yet this incident is rather unique in that the cause was never reported. What is the origin of this aberrant form, this porcine amoeba?

It is the result of one large company, the largest supplier of domesticated pigs in the United States. Yes, Dunlap Pig Industries.

Shortly after the incident, Dr. Bob Qualified issued a press release stating that the genome of the "pigdoughblob", as he called it, contained proprietary "junk DNA" sequences unique to pigs produced from Dunlap Pig Industries' instant pig spray.

The company was quick to discredit Dr. Qualified, bringing up his "psychotic tendencies". Due to Dunlap's influence, you'll hardly find mention anywhere of Dr. Qualified's discovery. But crazy as he may be, Dr. Qualified's statements hold up to scrutiny. Dunlap Pig Industries didn't even bother denying that the blob contained their proprietary DNA.

Dunlap works with cutting edge science they admit they barely understand themselves. Will something go wrong? Did something go wrong? History tells us time and time again chaos is inevitable.
