Specimen 67 (Franklin) File 7H
Excerpt Dr.Ackerman’s Notes File 56d
The explosion at Base 6 left many unanswered questions and lead to a few changes within the agency. The blaze that wiped out the 1200 square foot bunker took with it the 10 man team that ran the facility as well as all of their work and data, which was stored locally in those days. When my team was sent in for clean up we were left with little to do but clean rubble. Franklin was all that was left living. As far as we could tell DR.Rodrick had shielded the creature with his own body to save it from the blast. For a detailed report on the Base 6 “clean up” operation please refer to Article 7899o with clearance level 14.
Without the original data and therefore without the original intent of the experiment we have been able to gather the following information on Specimen 67, dubbed Franklin by my team here at Lab 4 of Base 209:
The Specimen was most likely engineered, containing DNA in it’s make up from several species of mammal as well as plant material.
It’s current state is not the work of postnatal surgery, but it’s attributes instead engineered at conception.
The eyes and eyelids of the Specimen are fully functional but have not opened on it’s own.
The Specimen maintains a calm demeanor, even in the sight of predators.
Because of docile nature and several repetitive or unused prices of anatomy the current theory remains that Specimen 67 was created in order to test experiments intended for living matter.

Note to Dr. McEvee: Specimen 67 while by most standards grotesque in appearance is met with mostly warm admiration from the staff and everyone else who has come in to contact with it. Please evaluate for lab 6h. No negative effects recorded so far.
