Warclema Tales - Experimentation Log 3
Designation: External Biological Specimen-02 (EBS-02)
Discovery by: Lecter, Minta (Exobiology Department)
Assigned Researcher: Pending confirmation
Classification (tentative): Humanoid Entity, partial slime conversion
EBS-02 resembles a young, prepubescent human female. Estimated age is 6 Earth years.
Physiological markers and garment remnants match those of old dimension planet Neo Tokyo 3.
Observed deviances from human baseline include:
*Green hair. Unsure if result of dying or side effect of slime conversion.
*Orange cohesive slime has replaced portions of limbs, torso, and facial tissue.
*Slime regions form approximation of lost anatomy.
*Slime sections occasionally drip before quickly reforming. Reformation seems tied to EBS-02's awareness.
Possibility of internal conversion. Extent unknown. Apparent malnourishment.
EBS-02 is nonverbal but responsive to vocal tone, gesture, and positioning.
Cognitive assessment inconclusive; responses indicate comprehension but inconsistent executive function. Variability may result from:
*neurological conversion (brain tissue affected)
*trauma-induced regression
*incomplete developmental trajectory pre-conversion
*nonhuman neurobiology (see Origin Hypothesis “B”)
EBS-02 demonstrates a strong proximity preference to EBS-01 (magnolia tree) and a consistent approach preference toward discoverer (Lecter).
EBS-02 refuses to pass through the boundary, showing pained reactions and retreating from it.
Subject responds reliably to the spoken identifier “Magnolia.”
Origin Hypotheses (Unconfirmed):
A-Human Survivor (partial conversion):
*Subject exited an EDS, passed through the boundary, and significant portions managed to avoid conversion.
*Clothing & phenotype match expectations for an inhabitant of EDS 29, supporting this possibility.
*If true, would imply some factor that may allow safe passage through the boundary.
B-Native Lifeform Mimicking Human Morphology:
*Slime portions may not be the result of conversion, but instead the natural body of EBS-02.
*Humanoid features may be adaptive camouflage.
*If true, would be first native life we've found. Clothing & phenotype would suggest that it had encountered EDS 29.
*Assign single consistent point of contact.
*Noninvasive monitoring only. No retrieval attempts.
*Investigate possibility of replicating avoidance of slime conversion suggested by origin hypothesis "A".
*Investigate possibility of passing caloric matter through the boundary.
*Compile list of experiments that EBS-02 may be able to assist with due to position outside of the boundary.
