Blodgett

Blodgett was a marine of Torch Seven.

Blodgett took part in the unit's ill-fated mission to Vygoire, assigned to investigate a Dominion lab complex that had stopped responding to hails. Terrestrial and orbital observation showed that while the complex had suffered damage, it appeared to be from natural causes, such as a landslide. As per urban-recon protocols, the facility was investigated, the unit discovering human remains, but no living scientists. During this period, the marines raised their suits' face-plates, as the air was breathable.

The unit continued its recon while its supporting battlecruiser was called out-system for emergency escort duty, set to return when it could. The marines headed into the jungle. Sergeant Norwood Doakes assigned Chen to investigate a clearing that had a lot of bent and scarred trees. After returning to the group, he reported that there were large quadrupedal tracks through the clearing. As if on cue, a roar sounded through the area. It was at this point that Twohy started freaking out, screaming about coordinates, gods, and a "Great One." He ran into the jungle, and an ultralisk came charging back in his place. The creature was fended off with heavy casualties. Doakes called for extraction, but the Scion refused to send down any dropships until the creature was taken out.

It was at this point that the unit was attacked again, this time by the complex's scientists. Their spears did no harm however, and they were apprehended, one of their number ranting on about a "Great One" and how a van Rijn would be sacrificed. Blodgett informed Doakes that van Rijn was the director of the complex, and pieced together that Twohy had acted similarly before the ultralisk arrived.
