Begin Recording: This is Dr. Bastion Maximillion from the Unified Republic’s Advanced Science Society, Biology Division. Specimen No. V639 was brought to me tonight, August 22nd, 2278, at 9:36 pm. It is my understanding that the administrator went to great lengths to acquire this specimen. Therefore, I request in advance that any rumors of the specimen’s origin and characteristics be dismissed so this research may be approached with a clear and open mind.
At first glance, the specimen appears to be an emaciated adult man of uncertain age, most likely 40s, roughly seven feet and 2 inches in height. This generalization holds up until one inspects the head, hands, or feet. Their fingers are significantly longer than average and end in long, malformed nails that resemble claws. The feet end in similar protrusions but are more within the average lengths expected based on the subject’s height. The head can be most charitably described as a gnarled and twisted facsimile of the human face. Its pointed fangs, jagged snout, and snarling features resemble the generic concept of a beast more than anything human. Most striking are the specimen’s bright yellow eyes, which seem to lack a pupil.
Despite its sickly appearance, Specimen V639 still shows signs of life, albeit faintly. While the skin is cold to the touch and the specimen does not draw visible breaths, the body still writhes under its restraints. I have taken the liberty of muzzling the mouth to prevent the repetition of a reported accident that occurred shortly after its capture. An unknowing Peace Keeper captain drew too closely to the restrained specimen and suffered several deep bites in the jugular. Unfortunately, the captain quickly expired on the spot and was promptly cleansed in case his corpse harbored an unknown infection.
Specimen V639 was first detected in the woods of Eurasia in early July of last year through scattered reports of slaughtered livestock and a handful of missing person reports. Local Peace Enforcers struggled to contain the specimen, forcing them to call for reinforcements. Through a concentrated tracking effort, Peace Keeper unit Haven12 corralled and trapped the creature with dummy livestock and a XX GigaVolt Power Fence. Not counting the captain who was slain later, the capture of V639 cost the lives of seven Peace Keeper officers, well above the acceptable loss threshold of three for such cases. This is despite the fact that preliminary reports assured that the specimen was clearly starved and weakened from its encounters with local Peace Enforcement.
As a result of this harrowing containment, it cost the administrator a non-insignificant amount of grant money, numerous favors, and at least 300 influence credits to acquire V639 for study. Therefore, this experiment shall be conducted with the highest level of care and precision. It is a rare opportunity for us to vivisect a “creature of the night,” as it were. Several of our investors are highly interested in its ability to avoid appearance in reflections, especially cameras and video. While I am uncertain if we’ll be able to reverse engineer such a property from only a single specimen, I must personally admit I am very eager to attempt it.

Author's Note: Today's post was supposed to be another Maid in Fantasy Chapter, but I wasn't happy with it yet. Hopefully, it'll be good to go next week.
Until next time, Read, Comment and Enjoy.
