I was hard at work rewinding the Tesla Coil when an imp barged into my office, followed swiftly by a hooded woman. Two of our new... guests on the ship. The imp made some noises that resembled someone gargling glass marbles, and handed me the topical specimen, wrapped in cloth and dripping an unknown substance. The hooded woman, I presume interpreting for the imp, stated it was ''PAID FOR IN BLOOD AND SUFFERING''. Frankly, I was too shocked at the preceding events to bother asking what that may have meant. 

After acquisition, specimen was placed in a standard OOS container, per protocol. However, the container very swiftly deformed into a glossy purple spheroid, with a hollow in the middle, OOS still therein. Appropriate containment measures to be researched further.

Object of Study resembles a terrestrial Basket Star, order Euryalida. It seems to be perpetually damp, leaking a foul smelling black fluid. Presence of specimen in anything that one could consider a ''container'' appears to cause the transmogrification of said ''container'' into the aforementioned glossy spheroid, roughly matching the original container's volume. We have thus far tested on OOS containers, mop buckets, coffee mugs, and a toilet bowl. All yield the same result. Which reminds me, I need to put in a requisition order for a new lab toilet.

Testing on the fluid offered few answers as to its nature. No molecular structures that we recognize, only the presence of microscopic organisms that superficially resemble the main specimen. No significant findings on the organisms, other than a severe aversion to light.
