Birth

Brand new life.

My name is John Adams, I am one of a team of scientists hired by (data erased).
We were called here because the discovery of an extraterrestrial life form. We have been told to find out absolutely anything we can about this creature.

I just had a first glimpse of it, it's not exactly like the little green man with antennas that we imagined.

It looks more like a worm..a rather large one for their species, although it has large black eyes and pale skin that coils around itself in the gooey mess of an unknown substance that it came in, it resembles an embryo of some kind, although it has no vital signs present.

We've been keeping in a capsule made of a liquid that would closely resemble the substance in which it came from.
It was discovered to be a mixture of (data erased) and (data erased).
I didn't know that such combination was possible, still the liquid in the capsule is not an exact copy of the other substance, only as similar as possible.

I think it's been several weeks actually, several weeks stuck in this dam underground lab, rumors  have begun to spread, rumors about the company that hired us to be hiding something, something to do with that embryo.

Some of us had started to show signs of going mad slowly, I don't blame them, we've been cooped up in here for what felt like months, we had already turned over all the information we could find out about this thing and they still want us to be down here, I'm trying my best to maintain hope, but frankly I think I might just give in too.

After we had squeezed out all the information we could like a lemon that barely had a drop of juice in it, we all decided that it was it, we would just sit around and wait out the big guys to let us out.

Are they serious?! Right when we thought we were allowed to leave, they came in ordering that we REVIVE the dam thing.

Some of us were ready to just burst at them full force, but the fact they were carrying guns and we weren't might of been the deciding factor to not engage and just do as they say, I was really ready to run out of this place and feel the outside breeze, guess that'll have to wait.

Work had begun yet again, we were all hard at work yet again to bring this..whatever it is back from the dead.

Somehow this feels wrong, and I wasn't the only one who felt this, everyone else did too, we were all afraid, but we had no choice, we had to finish this.

I forgot how long it's been but that doesn't matter, today we have succeeded. Today we did something that we thought was never going to happen.

The embryo is showing signs of life, it now occasionally squirms from side to side and appears to be breathing.

I'm simply dumfounded, we are finally seeing with our own eyes, a living-breathing extraterrestrial organism.
