3/5/4-02 is a technodigital creature that presents basic cognitive skills, and thus mild intelligence. While it doesn’t currently have any organic mechanical limbs to achieve movement, the specimen can feed a neuromotor system.
The specimen has been isolated and contained for research. Research makes us think that the creature had a mechanical body, but only the central nervous system has been found and recovered. Many functions were substituted by technological means, in order to study reactions. Cognitive abilities seem directly related to the geometrical shapes that hold its technological body together.
Because it lacks a mechanical and organic body, the specimen is less subject to entropy than other living beings, and feeds on a steady, regulated electrical current. Its basic form of existence (besides materiality) is an intermediate cognition level that allows it to create its own reality, based on its limited perception experience and acquired knowledge. The creature shows tremendous interest in understanding its own experience.
The creature was found on an deep archaeological excavation located at ℵℵℵℵ ℵ ℵℵℵℵℵℵ, Iran by ℵℵℵℵℵ ℵℵℵℵℵ ℵℵℵ on 1975. Due to lack of electrical current, the creature was inactive, and at first confused with a fossilized snake, and then with some sort of old sailor artifact, reason enough to hand it over to a group of scientists of our institute, where it was found again after being locked down in an abandoned closet room on an underground unknown floor, where it's still permanently out of reach.
The scene depicts the desperation of the enigneers and scientists that underwent a specific protocol in order to control the specimen.
A similar creature had been found before at 1969 in an Russian site near Tunguska, Russia. It disappeared, but rumors indicate that it has either been destroyed or buried along with toxic waste at a site in China.
No other similar live creatures have ever been found since, according to the international interinstitute research database links, but just as we took it off the records for security reasons, we think that other institutes or agencies could have been forced into hiding their information as well.
We have managed to connect current digital technology in order to parse the specimen's mind generated signals and transduct them into a binary language that later can be turned into images. Taking advantage of this, we have substituted the nervous connections of what could have been limbs in order to fetch any signal and turn the data into usable information that can be further studied to understand the creature.
Note: we haven't been able to find any physical or logical source of the unknown radiation emitted by the specimen, or any AC current to radiation transducer.
Because it doesn’t hold any limbs, 3/5/4-02 has turned into a very mental creature, constantly analyzing whatever grasps it’s attention. It allows information to be fed into it by means of electromagnetic transfer, which needs an EM pulser and a digital-EM transducer. As soon as it receives information, it automatically grows it’s knowledge base and incorporates new data, signifying it as information as soon as it adds it as part of it’s reality language lexicon.
The creature appears to portray some sort of interaction, or at least reaction, sending it as an electrical signal to the action relay, an element of its body, which uses the prosthesis we gave it, turning into light and breathing reflex.
The specimen is currently held inside a two layers protection system. The first basic layer is a protection sphere floating inside a tank with a special Faraday effect fluid, which basically blocks electromagnetic pulses, signals and interference. The tank sits atop a sturdy metal base which also holds some of the support system hardware. In order to feed the creature, a special hose supports the body structure, and also provides both electricity and oxygen for the specimen.
The second layer implies a simple boxing system made of teak wood which have engravings on the inside of the panels, which are used to contain the radiation which we have been unable to study further. Common laboratory equipment will either not throw results or go haywire. We have been unable to understand what kind of effect do the engravings have on the creature, but it definitely works for containment.
