Hypothesis	The goal of this experiment is to determine the effects of bone density degradation and gravitational fluid buoyancy on species designated for xenowarfare. Transport from lab facilities to targeted planets may alter the efficacy of predatorial animals unadjusted to the rigors of space travel, in particular if creatures are held in confinement for an extended duration. Furthermore, Xenoflora designated as invasive species may suffer mutation and not function properly as a biological weapon when planted in unfamiliar biomes. Radiation, cellular damage, and mental stress derived from isolation and confinement may also have an impact on battle performance.
Predator Species X-34c	The following is the planned schedule for study of Species X-34c: Length of experiment ========================= Two weeks in confinement, with one grav jump after the first week. Blood extraction ========================= Every two days. This is to monitor the creature's health and look for any abnormal changes due to space flight. Any life-threatening situations will require scientist approval before intervention. Feeding schedule ========================= The creature will subsist on a predetermined diet approved by the nutritionist back at the facility. Stool samples will be collected and analyzed daily.
Cocoon	After three days in confinement, Species X-34c has enveloped itself in some sort of cocoon. The team believes this is due to stress factors. There was some suggestion that the creature was originally in a larval state, but this behavior has not been witnessed at the land facility, nor in its natural habitat.
Spore disbursement	After three days without change, the cocoon began to disburse spores. The exposure hit several doctors and members of the crew before it was contained. Thankfully, preliminary analysis of the spores shows they are non-toxic. As for what the spores are, comparison with membranes of known species show no correlation. Proteins and enzyme analysis has come up inconclusive. We'd like to do more extensive laboratory testing in the coming days, but the cocoon is once again dormant. X-ray and ultrasound data show the creature is still hibernating peacefully inside. This may have been a reaction to stimuli, or just part of the hibernation phase. We're not sure. We don't have much choice other than to sit on our hands and wait for something to happen again.
Reproduction	The cocoon is going through another metamorphosis. We are seeing evidence of some kind of cloning process happening inside. Similar to mitosis seen on the cellular level, the creature appears to be making a copy of itself through a process we don't fully understand. We've seen asexual reproduction in many species and bacteria, using binary fission, budding, fragmentation, or parthenogenesis. There is some debate over whether this reaction was triggered by our experimentation, or if it's part of the creature's natural cycle we simply have not observed previously. This will require further study beyond the two weeks we have for this experiment. Moreover, we are understaffed and dealing with several issues on the ship. Members of both the crew and the science team have reported increased sluggishness and mental fatigue, and productivity as a whole has reached a standstill. I am putting in a request to return to the facility immediately, but so far have not gotten a response from leadership.
