I was awoken in the night - after what I later calculated to be 115 seconds of sleep - by an urgent call to my transmitter. The man with the purple armor and large backpack was panicked and barged into Medical with a tentacle attached to his person. Due to the nature of the object, I obviously had to be bothered about the situation, regardless of biological needs such as sleep or nourishment. He was transferred over to my lab, flailing and screaming the whole way, until he was deposited at my doorstep. I say 'deposited' because he was much too hysterical to stand or act willfully. A knee planted into his chest and a repurposed paint scraper swiftly liberated the specimen from his armor, and into a standard OOS container it went. Unfortunately, the tentacle has other plans and seeks at all costs to not be in said standard OOS container, constantly trying to escape and being very successful in doing so. Filing a request for more secure containers for use in OOS research.

Object of Study resembles a disembodied tentacle that matches no known cephalopod species on record. It terminates in a sucker that one might find on a leech, capable of digging its teeth into hardened ceramic alloy armor, as was demonstrated by the 'patient'. The tentacle is manifestly alive, aware, and aggressive. As such, I suffered multiple wounds and wet slaps in my attempts to keep the specimen contained. Attempts have not yet been made to dispatch the specimen in order to glean as much data as possible while it still lives. When the time comes to do so, I think I will very much enjoy it. Specimen has not shown a need for food or water, and it has yet to run out of energy or anger.
