Out of Hand

You and Maxine run towards a sewage treatment plant which Veronica says houses one of Sigrid's most covert facilities. You're bringing to Veronica the severed finger of the zombie which bit Peter (which he has labelled a "P-Type"), so that she can analyse it.

You enter the admin building of the sewage treatment plant and make contact with Veronica. She directs you to a hidden laboratory facility from where she'll perform a scan of the P-Type.

You deposit the P-Type in Veronica's sealed tank, where she begins to scan it. Her scans trigger a reaction in the P-Type, which begins to grow and then escapes containment. Now a full arm, the P-Type enters the air vents of the facility as Veronica protects you with safety barriers. You rush to head the P-Type off at the exit from the air vents before it becomes too big to recapture.

As you pursue the P-Type through the plant's infrastructure, Veronica, Sam and Maxine debate the potential for Sigrid's anti-immortality treatment to be effective on Peter. Veronica also muses on recent V-Type behaviour suggesting the development of a collective-consciousness amongst the zombies.

As you enter the sewers, you find the P-Type, but too late. It has already regrown a full body, and is twice the size of a human. Horrifyingly, it has also absorbed DNA from the rats in the sewer. The immortal human-zombie-rat hybrid pursues you as Veronica works on a plan to destroy it.

As the P-Type grows and rampages through the facility, Veronica directs you to lead it to the "computer core" room, where she has been developing an experimental super-acid which she believes will destroy the P-Type. As you lead the P-Type through the room, she aims to trap it inside and spray it with the acid.

Veronica's acid attack on the P-Type has also severely compromised the structural integrity of the facility, and of Veronica's systems. As Veronica goes offline in order to diagnose the damage, you and Maxine pause to clean off in a nearby kitchen. Instead of water, however, liquified P-Type goo exudes from the taps, reaching out and attempting to escape the sink.
