The story of Thing Thing follows the Gamma Class Bio-Weapon, Project #154 as he awakens in a containment cell. According to internal retroactive continuity, 154 forcibly kills by hand a doctor who had arrived to administer muscle enhancers and behavioral suppressants[4], seizing his victim's pistol and shooting the ceiling vent off of his cell. He proceeds to kill the four guards in the service hallway, slaughtering his way to the surface. However, he is halted by Poseidon, a biomechanical experiment apparently assigned to prevent escape- a short-lived affair, as 154 quickly puts down Poseidon and makes his exit into open air. During his escape he learns of the identity of the faction that held him- SystemsCorp, a company with the slogan "Innovating Life", hinting at their involvement with genetic engineering- and the other two bioweapons out to kill him, Zeus and Hades.
Ostensibly, this is where the story of Thing Thing 2 begins. 154 wanders into a city where he encounters countless SystemsCorp mercenaries who, though mostly unarmed, endeavor to stop 154 by force. He escapes the city, wandering into a desert inhabited by the undead. Fighting his way through the sand and towards an industrial sector, he eventally meets with Zeus, another bioweapon akin to Poseidon. Destroying Zeus, 154 seemingly goes into hiding.
154 is still in exile at the beginning of Thing Thing 3 when he receives a communicae from a mysterious source who is aware of his origins[9]. Following instructions, 154 fights his way through Sunset City, a housing development for SystemsCorp employees[10]. Arriving at the agreed location, 154 meets his strange contact- in truth, Project 153, developed as a sort of omniscient armor pilot, who reveals that 154 is a form of advanced infantry designed to be resistant to hydrostatic shock. The two clash, resulting in the destruction of 153's powered armor, though 153 survives. He casts 154 into a secret SystemsCorp service tunnel, encrusted with ice and filled with more SystemsCorp mercenaries. 154 manages to fight his way back towards the top, only to be cornered by 153 again, who has not only trapped 154 in a biowaste disposal facility but has revived an artifact from within- the Hades prototype, Vahl Dreig. Despite this daunting task, 154 makes short work of the prototype, only to be reminded that he is still trapped in the containment chamber.
Thing Thing 4 starts only moments later, recapping the events of the three previous games through animated cutscenesbefore 154 retrieves the core that powered Vahl Dreig, commenting on the volatile nature of biomechanical weapons before using the device to destroy the steel-reinforced walls. He escapes into the incinerators, where he fights his way through legions of trained SystemsCorp soldiers. He eventually escapes into the offices and, having resolved to kill off the management of SystemsCorp and gain revenge, storms into the management branch of the building. However, there he is confronted by 153 again, this time with a small army at his back. 154 escapes the building by jumping out of a window, landing only to find 153 in pursuit piloting an assault helicopter. However, 154 commandeers a nearby vehicle, using the Heckler & Koch HK21 found within to shoot out 153's fuel tank and destroy the helicopter. 153 is presumed dead in the crash.
154 decides to go to SystemsCorp's genetic research laboratory in hopes of finding the CEO. There, he fights through yet more soldiers, in the process learning of experimental SystemsCorp weapon systems and the fact that SystemsCorp is now dealing in the undead and synthetic lifeforms, as well as finding the very cell he was created in, now empty and covered with warning tape. Fighting through a heavily-defended quarantine elevator, 154 finally encounters Hades in the form of a disheveled and meek individual, capable only of weak melee attacks but with great physical endurance. However, once seemingly dead Hades transforms into a large spider-like mechanical being, armed with the powerful Hades Rifle- a slow-firing but potent weapon whose shots penetrate targets. 154 kills Hades, taking his weapon and storming the final room. However, there he encounters only countless screens bearing the image of the CEO he came to kill, who sends an endless legion of soldiers to confront 154 after revealing that 154 is but one clone in an army of millions.
