Several days later at the offices of the Harrisonberg police station.
A detailed search of the abandoned health spa and surrounding area finds no trace of the people who lived there. But its occupants had hastily abandoned the complex less than an hour earlier. Based on the personal effects found and the number of rooms, it is estimated that as many as 40 people had lived in the health spa for decades. Seven vehicles were found parked on the property. No vehicle track could be found leaving the grounds. Tracker dogs were brought in, but the scent trails detected led into the drained swimming pool inside the health spa. Suspecting a secret passage, jackhammers were employed to excavate the swimming pool. No such passage was found.
No "official" organization writings were found, although numerous personal writing of the various members was. The membership refereed to their organization as "The Initiates of the Worm." There are multiple references made to something called "the Worm Mother," and to "the mysteries of the worm." Photographs and personal effects recovered by the police date from no more recently than 1934.
The lone person found in the complex is being held in a high security psychiatric ward. The fingerprint found on the 1932 driver's license belonging to a Roy Baty matches the individual in question.
Analysis of the brown liquid found in the pool showed bacteria, proteins, enzymes, and an unknown chemical. The same chemical was also found in the digestive tracks of the two men shot and killed outside of Doctor Hardiman's home. The two specimens recovered from the men's digestive tracts have been shipped to CDC headquarters in Atlanta for examination.
