ID: GNS-088
Registered Name: Bas'met
Gender: Female
Height: 4'5"
Weight: 83lbs
Age: Chronological age: 3, physical and mental age indeterminably greater.
Physical Characteristics:

A key characteristic of GNS-088 is the eyes, whether from her base body or a body she has reanimated and taken control of they will all have vertically set S shaped eyes that dilate into an 8 shape, and the sclera will always turn black from the fluids filling the body, named Black Ichor, or Hz2. Note that Hz2 has a light scent somewhat akin to ammonia. Other physical characteristics to look out for are the presence of black prehensile, for lack of better words, tentacles. They will usually protrude from the back, usually from the spine. Fingertips, lips, and so forth may turn black upon habitation.

Bas'met's main body, however, appears as a young humanoid female, around 12, with black hair, a creamy white face, chest and stomach, and black lips. She lacks ears, possessing four fleshy tentacle-like appendages instead (two large, two small), two more large ones protrude from the center of her back with thick almost hand-like two-fingered appendages at the ends, followed by two smaller ones that wrap around her chest, and two large ones with a banded pattern from the base of where her spine would be. Her hands and feet lack nails, instead having a suction cup like quality allowing her to climb walls. Her hands have three fingers, feet possessing three toes and one extra near the ankle, but otherwise her main body is human-like aside from coloration. What is not creamy in colored is red-brown possessing patches of darker colored splotches.

Lastly, her main body was last seen wearing her favorite pajamas, blue and patterned with black raccoon heads and paw prints on it. Being a creature of habit she is unlikely to change this even if she could hide her other qualities somehow.

Behavioral Characteristics:

Subject GNS-088's behavior patterns are partially human, and partially alien territory. What can be said is that they often display a level of sophistication and advanced understanding. They are also curious, very curious, when being tested she would often start asking her observer questions, questions about how they feel about this, or that. She would start turning each test into her own platform to accumulate knowledge, to study us, to understand us. She watches with transfixed eyes, dissecting each response, not just by the vocal answer but clearly too any twitch, or sign of emotional patterns to the answers. She would track routines, bringing up any discrepancy in them. It is clear she's advancing at an extremely accelerated rate.

Another characteristic, and more recent in her behavior is that you cannot fully predict it, it can shift, and often shifted when a different doctor was sent in to check up on her. A kind of behavioral chameleon she would adapt herself towards a more comfortable personality to each new observer, adjusting it some when they became discomforted. Rarely has she shown outright aggression, but has under instances shown observable frustration, becoming unresponsive and aloof. Her attacks, however, were not acts of aggression, or even a hint of malice, but curiosity that did not understand it was harmful. In her instance with Zeke, she tried to pry into his very being to understand it better, but the stress involved was too much for him causing great pain.

Finally, she appears to possess deeply a quality of strong attachment, a sentimentality, and morality, and one of the only things to evoke violent irrational behavior. Her pet, Skitters, which was given to her in an attempt to humanize her died during a session when it reacted poorly and bit her arm while she held it. She reacted in shock and threw it against the side of her containment, crushing its body. When she had realized what she had done her behavior became... highly disturbed, eyes dilated fully, breathing erratic, speech was indiscernible. It was the first time we had observed a break in her calm behavior, it was too the first time she had cried. She held the doors shut with her tentacles, refused to allow anyone in, only calming when the creature's body was infected and reanimated. It was also the first time she had shown to have this... ability.

Abnormalities:

She may appear almost human but very little of the Genesis subjects contain any humanity. They have adapted to imitate us, but their true nature is mostly alien. Beyond us in such a way that we have yet to fully grasp them. For now, at least, they are thankfully obedient.

In her case her abilities are most noted in being able to consciously exist in multiple places at once through a process of inhabiting multiple bodies, aside from her main one. The process is not fully understood yet but a dead body can be filled with and reanimated through her "true essence", turning the blood black, and sometimes resulting in physical mutation, such as with Skitters obtaining a black second set of forelegs. Reanimation is complete, life is restored and some of their memories and behaviors are kept, however the occupying consciousness IS Bas'met, bringing back the dead individual is beyond her abilities.

She is strong, her tentacles possess great strength and can immobilize most individuals of average strength. She has under instances broken the bones of some of some of those involved in the socializing attempts, regardless of being unintentional it shows that care is to be made not to be caught in them.

She possesses an accelerated level of regeneration, wounds heal quickly and lost limbs will regrow, but it is negated by burns which slows the process, it is a noted method not to be used by personnel when capturing her as Orion prefers her undamaged. All Genesis subjects share this aversion to fire. Efforts are being made to remove this flaw.

Containment Protocol:

Though not normally violent, containing her has proven to be very complicated. While comfort was a top priority, effective seals were also a concern as her... presence... could leak from containment and effect the facility outside. A cadaver from an dissection table stood up and began speaking to the doctor performing it, scaring them and causing him to injure himself with a scalpel. It had then become part of her containment to move any such activities to a separate sealed-off floor.

Main body's physiology seems to negate standard tranquilizers and gassing, not even reacting to them other than mild discomfort. The only effective method shown was either talking her down or using a taser. The most effective method has been through her "father", Dr. Hayden Addler whom she has shown affection towards, recognizing him as one of her creators. Likewise, his interactions with her have been paternal.

Dr. Orion's note: Dr. Addler is NOT to be used in containing GNS-088 without observation. His intentions with the Genesis project has unfortunately shifted from ours and is to be severed from it until further notice. Hopefully his condition improves, until then he too is to be kept as a patient on the lower floors with limited activity. Remember that he's still a great mind and it is all within our hopes he comes around some day.

Subject Overview:

One of the few of the Genesis subjects to not lose cohesiveness and become undone upon release from the aethera tanks. Notably the last subject created that survived. Future plans are without action as of yet until the odds can be improved and flaws can be reduced. The wild uncertainty of outcome in surviving subjects also requires further research until project can continue.

As of yet too, her true body, or essence, has not been fully understand given its immaterial nature. This true body is believed to exist, and is too, believed what connects all the shells as a collective mind. When asked about this she reacts with confusion and unresponsiveness. Perhaps she too does not understand her full nature, and perhaps that is for the best. It is presumed that each body she inhabits is merely a minor appendage to her true form, her true form being, as stated, beyond our understanding and far more massive than we can even begin to understand, and is beyond primordial. What is known is that her physical essence loses cohesiveness when left outside of a body, simply evaporating into the air.

Exact details of the Genesis project and the process involved are as of yet, classified for security reasons.
