Strange reagent zombies?

[atamusvaleo]

What about making a failed SR resurrection turn the player into a crappy sorta-zombie, where instead of eating the crew and transforming them into a horde of unstoppable nightmares, they just kinda shamble around, bits of them are missing, accumulating damage and just like a mangled corpse that's suddenly alive for she reason.

Or it could just gib them and give the player control of one of the organs.

So, if Strange Reagent is based off of Lovecraft's serum then this is more in line with his vision. 

In the story, the doctor experiments with his serum trying to get a perfect cadaver to resurrect, each time attempting on more and more recently deceased persons. He eventually realizes that his serum has in fact been working the entire time and all of the bodies have been resurrecting (even severed limbs!!) There's a great scene where he injects an officer who's been decapitated and the head begins yelling about the helicopter crash that killed it. All this just as a bomb shell drops through the tent. Ahhh! Got to love Lovecraft.

But, yeah! Have SR resurect people no matter what but they looked just as jacked up and beaten as when they died.
