War of the Worlds Logo 'Breeding Ground'

by Alan Moskowitz
War of the Worlds Cast

At a local hospital, Ardix manipulates elderly spinal Doctor Emil Gestaine into implanting alien pods into his patients’ backs during operations, in exchange for a drug the doctor desperately needs. When Harrison pays a visit to the hospital to obtain medical supplies, he witnesses a patient running down the halls, screaming in agony as the implant rapidly grows inside him, before exploding in a gruesome gory mess. Returning to the hospital with Kincaid later that night, Harrison investigates the morgue and finds numerous body-bags containing ruptured corpses; taking a tissue sample back to base for examination, Harrison determines that the aliens are using the hospital as a breeding ground, farming the human patients to grow more of their people. Posing as a nurse, Suzanne goes undercover at the hospital and learns that the aliens have finally succeed at impregnating an elderly patient, Kate Barrows, who is now about to give birth to a grotesque hybrid human-alien baby…
