Temporary Scan-
Morphology: Pirate Experiment 035B
Subject is an abandoned genetic manipulation project. Dislikes direct light. Subject is extremely agile and may avoid targeting.

Logbook Entry-
Pirate Experiment 035B is an abandoned genetic manipulation project and was originally intended to  be a mount for high ranking Space Pirate commanders. Despite it’s Penitence Class arm mounted turret and superior cybernetic lower body, the mechanically and genetically enhanced creature was stored and slated for termination after the Space Pirate Science Team could not overcome the creature’s inherent sluggishness when exposed to direct light. Despite its weakness in bright environments, it is a formidable predator in the darkness.

Science Team Log 174.001-
Experimental designs for the new mount creature High Command has requested are nearing completion. Soon we will be able to start genetic modification on the test subject. Projected results include a 150% increase in size, as well as increased aggression.

Science Team Log 174.002-
The genetic modification of the test subject has yielded better results than expected. The test subject has become aggressive and violent, and increased in size by almost 170%. The subject will be unrestrained for the first time since modification today. I shall have gathered more data by then.

Science Team Log 174.003-
An issue has arisen. The subject has developed a disability in its lower body, rendering it unable to support itself without assistance. We may be able to solve this mechanically. We plan to integrate a cybernetic lower body, perhaps with walker like appendages. We shall see if this allows the subject to support itself.

Science Team Log 174.004-
Integration of the cybernetics went perfectly, and we integrated a “Penitence” class arm mounted turret alongside the cybernetic lower body. However, when moved into the courtyard for field testing, the subject became sluggish and unresponsive. Further investigation is required.

Science Team Log 174.005-
It appears the subject’s unresponsive nature was caused by direct exposure to bright light. It was kept in semi-darkness for most of the testing period before the field test, so it is not a surprise that this issue didn’t surface beforehand. Testing to resolve this problem has already begun.

Science Team Log 174.006-
The status of the test subject remains unchanged. Tests will continue.

Science Team Log 174.007-
The subject attempted to escape. It breached its containment unit and continued to rampage throughout the facility until it was contained in the courtyard. Interestingly enough, it was only the crippling weakness that we have been attempting to remove that allowed us to recapture the subject. I will be sending a report to High Command asking for higher firepower to be positioned at this base in the future.

Science Team Log 174.008-
I’ve received word from High Command that we are to cancel the current project and terminate the test subject, but it is of no matter. We were unable to overcome the creature’s extreme sensitivity to direct light exposure. The project would have failed regardless. I have scheduled the creature to be terminated and High Command is sending the necessary firepower to do so onboard the next supply vessel. It will be kept in the Quarantine Hold until then.
