From the journal's of Doctor Nick Roslind, decommissioned researcher of I.C.A.R.U.S.
After the Pandora's Box Incident that occurred in / /2029 cryptids and other new species have had free roam around the world to take over their niches unimpeded by humans.
Normally I.C.A.R.U.S. would try and contain the creatures or restrict their range. But since I.C.A.R.U.S. isn't here anymore, and pharmaceuticals has been forcibly shut down, no one can stop them anymore.
All I can do with the limited resources I have left is survey them and try to manage the Human interactions between them.
Since I was originally posted in the U.K. to survey the cryptids there, I thought that would be a good start.
It seems like whatever pharmaceuticals did to these creatures has increased aggression towards humans as well as amplify their epigenetic capacities.
The eels in Loch Ness seem especially troublesome.
Some individuals have burrows that extend past the lake shore and well inland. Some have land walking capabilities while others can mass-produce mucus as a form of offence and defence. This might not seem bad at first, but they have invaded other sources of water around Scotland and are causing heavy damage to all the ecologies as well as posing a hazard to the population.
One individual is developing an extra set of jaws that aid it in trapping and shredding prey. It seems quite feisty given how it messed up my ROV probe.
He hasn't left the loch yet, so I'll keep an eye on him.

Well I was gonna make this one yesterday, but I didn't make it in time. So here it is.
The prompt list said today was "gourd/autumn"... not sure what to do with that, so I just finished mandible.
Anyways, hope y'all liked it!
Enjoy!!
