"Commencing incident report."

"Time: ...I don't even know. It broke all the clocks [weeks] ago."

"Subject was a [human]. We acquired it as an initial investigative subject. Determine sapience, [et cetera]."

"Yeah, that thing is sapient. That's all fine and well. We wanted that. I just wish it wasn't."

"The [human] is an excessive danger. It shows incredible manipulative capability. Five people. Five of them. Dead by each other's hands."

“I don’t know how you could convince a lifetime pacifist to enjoy brutally murdering their spouse. But the [human] could probably give you some advice.”

"And that...that thing, it just shoved the whole matter out the airlock when I asked what happened."

"'They did it of their own accord.' it said."

"Of their own accord!"

"I pulled up the recordings, I watched them. I don't know how it managed it. Conversation after conversation, it toyed with them. Playthings. That's all my researchers were to it."

"Of course, I locked it in the cell as a result. Should've realized that wouldn't work. Nope. How could standard procedure that works for literally every other test subject work here."

"Another six researchers, dead. I watched the footage. I shouldn’t have watched the footage. It was just [humming a tune] while posing their bodies. The blood didn’t help me keep my lunch.”

“And that’s just the ones we’ve found. Several more missing, and more than half the security crew has vanished.”

"I think it's still on the station. I'm not sure. There haven't been any new bodies in a while, but we also haven't found it."

“We’re still finding other things, though. Messages on walls, and the like. Actually, I wish it was just messages. The other things we find on the walls are worse. The maintenance crews tend to find them when fixing damaged systems. I recommend not checking that footage.”

“We’ve had to replace the entire Maintenance staff several times since it escaped the cell.”

"It showed no empathy. No desire to care for or understand others, beyond anything beneficial to itself."

“In fact, it seemed to enjoy the whole thing. It’s like the monster from one of those old dramas, where it just masquerades as one of us while killing while our backs are turned. Most of our backs, anyways.”

"Nothing we did could determine its lies from truth, either."

“It could tell me we were crashing into a star and I would check the viewport.”

"My final assessment, as lead induction researcher for this region is that-"

"I KNOW SAMPLE SIZES ARE IMPORTANT, KLASH'MIR! BUT ANY SPECIES THAT CAN PRODUCE A MEMBER LIKE THIS, EVEN BY ACCIDENT, IS INSANE AND DANGEROUS!"

"Apologies. My final assessment is that [humans] are incompatible for induction, and, pending review, should either be barricaded within their native system, or glassed."

"My personal suggestion is having them all glassed, but I may be biased by the loss of nearly half of my research team."

“Excuse me, I have to take this call.”

“What do you mean, a sample...it did...no. No, that won’t work. You’re better off just destroying...I KNOW that station represents a massive investment...How did it manage this anyway...A what? It has followers now?! I’m sorry, but I’m taking this out of your hands.”

“Computer, initiate Federation biohazard lockdown procedures, tied to sample #3d901a343-3-0001. Activate protocols for Risk to Sanity, Infectious Sapience, Excessive Flight Risk, and Murderous Intent. Recommended course of action is extermination with extreme prejudice.”

“I think...I think I need a vacation. I’m just going to, to take the time off I’ve built up over the years and...yeah.”

“End incident report.”
