Specimen 10.2:

Specimen 10.2 .. huh.. that's a cool name !
Those weird 'generic lab assistants' gave me a name !! It sounds really sweet, makes me feel sort of special !

Generic Lab Assistants.. that's what this species must be called ! How intruiging.. they have a strange yet cool species name, and they gave me a strange yet cool name !! I feel awesome ! And they're keeping me in this comfortable, cold-ish room and feed me, I see them sometimes talking infront of me but I don't really mind.. nor really understand what they're saying but eh, nothing bad has happened to me yet

They've put me infront of Random other species here on this planet, I guess to see what I'd do, I didn't really do much, I either nuzzled against them, ate them ( the small ones like those 'spiders' ) or just ran away ( some of those things are scary !! Give me a break !! )

I

don't blame them for doing what they did, I'm a stranger to them, they needed to get info on me and what I'm capable of. I guess it'd be fair if I cam see what they're capabilities are but I can't really.. do that :/ I don't have that power, and I'm not sure what I'd get them to do..

Right now I'm just in that room, rolling around on this soft thing, it's called a pillow, and it's bigger than me, it's perfect for getting comfortable on !! I love it so much !!
Escaping and getting on that asteroid was stupid and risky, I know it, I'm beyond lucky I wound up here with these kind things. I'm still a little sore from what happened but they're taking very nice care for me, and I think they know that I love them back !!

There isn't any one in particular that I like the most, I think they're all cool ! It's actually a little hard to tell some of them apart-  but they all look cool !!
These Generic Lab Assistants are all tall and have this intimidating and strong aura, it's fascinating ! It's so new !! My kind were sort of silly, we had some that were kinda shaped like Generic Lab Assistants but they didn't have the same energy.. now I wonder what it'd be like to BE one !

Oh so many questions.. if only I could ask them, but to no one's surprise we don't speak the same language, I wish there could be a way to communicate to them a little more easily, but I've only been here a few days, maybe things will change later on, maybe they'll teach me ?

I heard the door open and looked over, one of the Generic Lab Assistants had come in. I excitedly got off the pillow and nuzzled against them, they reached down and patted me gently. They slowly sat down and looked at me, I just stayed still and stared into their face, waiting for them to do something

" How's Specimen 10.2 ? "
" It seems well, it's a little more energized than usual, I suppose that means it's getting better "
" Hmm.. good. Hopefully we can get testing done on it soon enough "
" Mm.."
The Generic Lab Assistant gave me little scratches and I leaned into the touch
" It's very cat like.. "
" Mmmhm. "
" .. perhaps it can replace the sad excuse that is the other Specimen 10 ? "
" Let's not get our hopes up now, this one might be another useless dud.. at least it has more skill than that other thing "
" Yes.. it seems far smarter and far more durable as well, let's pray it's a good sign, and we can finally get rid of or at least improve that other one "
" Again, don't get your hopes up, we've only had Specimen 10.2 for a few days now, we've only been able to do minimal testing on it "
" Hm... Do you reckon it could eat another human ? "
" This world, especially this place, holds many surprises, I won't be surprised if it can "
" Hmm.. it's teeth are strong, and they're quite sharp, I'm sure it can do a lot of damage to someone "

I could only really stare and nuzzle against the Generic Lab Assistant as they kept talking to that other voice over this weird black box, it felt a little weird but it's intetesting to listen to

These people have a weird way of talking, it sounds so complex !! But I like it ! It sounds creative
I heard my name but that's about all I understood, what could they be saying about me ? I hope it's something good..

The Generic Lab Assistant then got up and left the room, leaving me to be alone again. Oh well, they all seem pretty busy, so I can't be mad at them for not being able to stick around a lot. At least they try to find time for me

Actually... What do they even do ? It seemd important to them but what could this be ?
Ayy.. I just keep adding on more questions and it's giving me a headache !! I should really just stop and relax, but I can't help it ! This is a new environment with many different species  and ways of communication !! I want to know more..

I slithered over back to the pillow and rested on it, maybe if I fall asleep my headache will go away ? And maybe I'll calm down from all the questions ? Who knows..
I just need rest right now, tomorrow is a new, fun day !!
