After about a week, Emvee gets the following file in his mail. Autopsy Report of Specimen #2060-157-BH Dr. Lucas Silenia Specimen #2060-157-BH (hereafter Specimen BH) was presented as a caucasian male, approxamate age 25, 190 cm in height and about 100 kg in weight. Cause of mortality was initially presumed to be due to extensive damage to torso and skull caused by firearms. Specimen BH had several interesting features immediately obvious to visual inspection, the most notable being the large compound eyes. Examination of the eyes showed them to be true compound eyes, similar in gross structure to normal insect eyes. Dissection showed distinct nerve grafts between the compound eye structure and the major optic nerve. Also visible on Specimen BH were two small, stunted extraneous arms located approxamately halfway between the shoulders and the waist. Said arms were normally shaped, but only several inches long. Although each seemed well-formed, and incision revealed internal bone and nervous structure, no part of the structures (save the skin) interfaced with the rest of the body. This included the nerve structures. There is no way these arms served a useful purpose. Initial speculation was that Specimen BH was the result of extensive research into forced cloning, resulting in the new arms (obviously a test of regrowing limbs in new places) and new eyes (again, a test of growing organs from a different species). Under examination, there was no trace of organ rejection, indicating that whoever performed this procedure was very skilled. Unfortunately, 12 hours and 15 minutes after the beginning of autopsy, the specimen began undergoing rapid and irreversable decay. Within another 12 hours, the specimen had decomposed entirely into a puddle of slime. Analysis of the resulting liquid indicated that all of the specimen's cells had lost cohesion, in an never-before-seen type of deliquescence. It is unknown why the specimen remained intact as long as it did, only to suddenly decay. One probably suggestion is that some chemical found in the autopsy lab was responsible, possibly interacting negatively with the specimen's previous medical treatments. Finally, the cells left were typed and subject to DNA analysis. About half the cells were found to be within the normal human DNA range. The rest were found to be of the genus Formica, although exact species designation was impossible.
