SBC-013 - "The Metal Insect"

**Sentient, Quickly adaptable, Extremely hostile, Very Lethal**

SBC-013 is a living and dangerous entity made by Chill.

## Description

SBC-013 is a humanoid insect-like creature, standing at around 5 foot 9 in height. It is primarily red and dark silver in colour, and made of a near-indestructible metal exoskeleton, despite it feeling relatively bumpy. The creature has 2 eyes, a huge, beetle-like horn, a thin torso, upper arms, and upper legs, and a stocky waist, lower arms, and lower legs. It has 3 legs, with the third at the back, providing additional support, and the hands are replaced with huge, sharp blades. It has smaller pincir like arms along the sides of it's torso that are practically useless, and it also has 4 small translucent protrusions on it's back where there seemingly used to be wings. It was first theorised that this entity was cybernetically augmented or inorganic in nature, but it seems it's exoskeleton is perfectly biological.

SBC-013 is highly aggressive and is not to be interacted with.

## Special Containment Procedures

SBC-013 is to be placed in a maximum security cell of the higher-level containment area of site-gamma. The walls are to be made of reinforced concrete, with metal support struts and bedrock lined within the walls. The room is to be kept at a temperature of -20 celsius in order to keep the entity from moving, as it's body's system is only designed to keep itself cool due to being native to hot swampy environments. Test subjects are to be sent in weekly to ensure the cell is not damaged and that the entity hasn't moved far.

## Reports and Files

Initial discovery
The original description of 013 was similar, but different. Instead made from tough green scales, having several shorter ivory horns instead of one big one, and much less straight blades on it's hands, instead, having more mantis-like hands. It was originally a lot shorter, only being around 4 foot 9, but it had wings. They seemed to have not offered much support in the way of flight, but rather to glide and cool itself down. It also had a lot less muscle mass. It was found in 1996 during an expedition in the Amazon Rainforest where sie personnel were present. After encountering it, it killed several expeditioners via ambushing from the trees, before fleeing to safety after personnel started firing at it. Following this, there was a 9 month chase to capture and contain this entity, but before they could, a poacher had trapped it and had already got away.

Rediscovery
What is believed to be the same creature resurfaced in the year 3000, now with an appearance much closer to it's current one, it had seemingly adapted very quickly to it's new environment, and had killed the collector it had been sold to. Now an extremely aggressive and dangerous creature with a vengeance for humanity, it was sedated and contained by the foundation.

Notes: This thing needs terminating, if it somehow adapts to it's cell as quickly as it did tp an urban environment, then who knows what it'll get when it does.

Termination request: Denied, the entity still needs extensive study to understand how it adapts like it does, as well as how efficiently it can now seemingly slaughter people

Recovered logs
The following logs were found in the foundation database, these events never occured, and nobody is sure as to how they got here.

XX/XX/2031
It's happening, the report from the subjects show that the material makeup of it's armour is different, now having random jagged pointy protrusions, geologically similar to the bedrock lining its walls, it seems to have also gotten a little taller, now 6 foot 2.

XX/XX/2031
More changes are now noted, the horn on it's head is being phased out for... something... unclear what, but it's third leg dropped off, and it's appearance is now a lot sleeker, yet more clearly armoured looking. Jagged spikes also reportedly shot out it's swords when the subjects went near it.

XX/XX/2031
IT'S HAPPENING, IT'S [EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REDACTED] HAPPENING. THE THING IS NOW WELL OVER 7 FOOT, HAS BECOME A LOT MORE AERODYNAMIC, WITH JAGGED BEDROCK ARMOUR PLATING, A STUPIDLY FINE-EDGED HEADPIECE, AND [signal cutting out] IT'S BREACHED CONTAINMENT, IT KNOWS ALL IT NEEDS TO AND IT HATES US ALL... WE- [signal shuts off as a dark red and black entity shoots past the background of the footage incredibly quickly]

note: Some kind of plan must be put in place in case this thing adapts like that!
