📂 UNIT File #S-113: “Squeek” Classification: Shreek Hatchling Status: Adopted by Kate Lethbridge-Stewart

During a containment operation in the Welsh Valleys, UNIT operatives discovered an abandoned Shreek nest hidden deep within a network of caverns. Most of the eggs had long since hatched or been destroyed, but one remained. Against all odds, the fragile shell cracked during transport, and out tumbled a tiny, wide-eyed hatchling with claws too big for its body and a voice that squeaked more than it shrieked.

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, overseeing the mission, was the first to calm the hatchling. Where others saw a dangerous anomaly, Kate saw a frightened creature just trying to survive. Within hours, the hatchling had imprinted on her, refusing to be left in the lab containment unit. Against the objections of several senior officers, Kate signed the papers herself, authorising her to take custody.

Now nicknamed Squeek (after its unusual, high-pitched call), the hatchling has become a fixture at UNIT headquarters. Squeek spends most of its time perched on Kate’s desk, shredding paperwork, startling junior officers, and charming visitors with its oversized grin. He is officially the office mascot, and chaos gremlin extraordinaire.

Though still young, Squeek shows signs of unusual intelligence. It responds to Kate’s voice and has an odd habit of curling up next to her coffee mug.

Either way, UNIT now has a baby Shreek in its ranks, and Kate has a fiercely loyal little companion by her side. ✨

📂 UNIT File #S-115: “Clanky”

Classification: Dalek Mutant (Golden Casing Variant)

Status: Adopted by Kate Lethbridge Stewart & Christofer Ibrahim

Clanky is a nervous young Dalek mutant residing within a standard golden casing, uniquely identified by a single gold star decal affixed to the dome. Unlike conventional Daleks, he is docile, timid, and has a notable lack of coordination. Clanky frequently struggles with steering, often colliding with obstacles and issuing apologetic sounds afterward.

He was first encountered during post-conflict cleanup in a disused warehouse on the outskirts of London. UNIT field agents discovered the casing inactive, wedged sideways in a pile of abandoned machinery. Initial scans indicated faint life signs, and upon manual opening, the mutant revealed no resistance, only nervous vocalisations resembling soft “chirps.”

Transported to UNIT secure labs, he displayed no hostile intent and quickly imprinted upon supervising personnel. After evaluation, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart authorised non-combatant classification and approved adoption into a supervised domestic environment.

Clanky has had all weaponry systems permanently disconnected, eliminating any offensive capability. Unlike standard Daleks, he demonstrates no aggression, instead vocalising polite phrases such as “please” and “thank you” in place of hostile commands. He emits soft, cheerful noises when calm, and though his lack of coordination often results in frequent collisions, he will immediately apologise in a subdued tone. He displays strong attachment to his caretakers, enjoys companionship, and responds positively to gentle encouragement, particularly when read to or spoken to kindly.

With weaponry decommissioned, Clanky poses no offensive capacity. Primary risks are limited to minor property damage due to steering malfunctions. His star insignia has been recognised as a permanent identifier within UNIT archives, and he is considered an anomaly within Dalek-kind.

If you need furniture destroyed Clanky is the Dalek to do it. ❣️
