38 days before the apocalypse

Horzine's Biotics Laboratory - London

Day 280 of research

Fascinating!

The specimen is alive even though it is filled with Hydrogen gas and HCL! Ofcourse, the specimen did have to be blown up like a balloon, but after all it works!

I have recorded the specimen's behaviour, it appears as he likes to first vomit up some of the HCL onto it's prey and then start eating it, but the acid doesn't seem to corrode any of the solid material like the floor, only the meat... interesting.

This specimen is very slow and if you listen closely you can sometimes hear the ground shaking, I have covered the inside of the skin with the same matter as a human stomach so that the acid does not corrode through the specimen.

Unlike specimen NR. 553612, this one actually explodes! The inside structure of the specimen causes the insides to erupt and cause a minature explosion spilling out all the acid and making a huge bloody mess out of the room, two of my assistants have been affected by the acid and died out of burn, another one has lost his bottom limbs... it was beautiful on how much this specimen can cause destruction! I believe the cause of the explosion is a chemical reaction with the heat that the specimen has been radiated to with the Hydrogen Gas inside the body.

Now I will just have to ask for a window replacement...

This specimen has been a huge success! I didn't expect this kind of outcome but it was worth researching... now however, I want to come back to the skinless specimen, strangely, specimen NR. 662716 is much larger than it's previous forms... his meat is showing and is quite a fast one once he spots his prey... interesting enough though, the specimen has some kind of attraction towards sharp metal objects... swords for example, but the items are too heavy for it to carry...

I wonder if I can help it somehow...
