Specimen 144

## Description

Area-144 has been built on Specimen 144 and it is to be stationed with combative personnel who are prepared to deal with Specimen 144's ecosystem alongside researchers studying its properties. Areas of Specimen 144 that haven't been as documented or contain multiple instances of entity 144-2 are to be treated with heavy class containment protocol. All Entity 144-2 subjects that reach near any of Area-144's stationed facilities are to be dealt with by combative personnel and are only to be neutralized unless any more severe breaches occur. Juvenile Entity 144-2 specimens are only to be taken for research purposes unless required so for study, imprinting procedures are to be require for any said research of the juvenile Entity 144-2 subjects. Deceased Entity 144-2 remains are to always be noted of and taken for autopsy.

### Safety

Dangerous (Medium containment class)

Specimen 144 is an irregularly shaped island located 45 kilometers off the coast of **[LOCATION DE-REVEALED]** Specimen 144 seems to possibly have an infinite interior land mass, as more inner areas of the island's geography seem to be larger and inconsistent with the island itself. Specimen 144 seems to have a very tropical environment with regions of the island being very geologically and geographically inconsistent as noted previously, with areas of volcanic activity, jungles that are to massive to exist in Specimen 144 based on its shape, and large deposits of asphalt resembling the tar pits at the La Brea Tar Pits research site at Hancock Park Los Angeles. Entity 144-2 designates all the organisms present in Specimen 144, most Entity 144-2 instances resembles outdated 19th-century to early 20th-century depictions of extinct prehistoric flora and fauna. The most common specimens of Entity 144-2 resemble members of the clade Dinosauria although other variations of these organisms resemble members of the clade Pterosauria while some resemble extinct marine reptiles from the Mesozoic period alongside creatures that appear similar to mammals of the Cenozoic era. Although the majority of Entity 144-2 subjects appear to be outlandishly inaccurate in both behavior and appearance to their non anomalous counterparts. Autopsy analysis of a few Entity 144-2 subject reveal their anatomy to be similar with most terrestrial vertebrae, but with consistency to that of a concrete mixture and other parts of their anatomy seem to be consistent with synthetic materials suggesting a biomechanical origin. It is unknown as to how long Specimen 144 and its anomalous properties have existed, although research and expedition logs have hinted some clues towards the origins of Specimen 144.

### Expedition Log 144-A

This log is an archive of notes taken by Dr.Hartwell taken during an expedition through Specimen 144
*"This expedition or mission or whatever you'd call it has to be the most surreal yet amazing experience I've had in my life. Seeing all this wonderful land and the just as mystical creatures that claim it as home was truly a sight to see. The island and it's wildlife look like they came straight from an adventure movie from the 50s with these fascinating animals moving as if some poor soul is inside them trying to walk around at the hopes of not passing out from the heat and exhaustion from moving in such a thing. Despite their appearance and mannerisms being somewhat akin outdated theme park animatronics I would still say I was fascinated at the sight of such behemoths as sluggish as they moved. Me and the rest of the team saw creatures in the sky that vaguely resembled pterosaurs specifically the Rhamphorhynchus although they moved a lot like old, worn out robots moving aimlessly while awkwardly flapping their wings and bobbling their heads slightly from their necks. These things didn't have the "fuzz" paleontologist now know they posseted and their wings looked very bat-like, I don't even think they even blink at all and from their stiff moving mouths they made loud high pitched screeches. All of this made me wonder if the "dinos" here in this island were even living, breathing things or just machines programmed to do all of this like the said theme park animatronics I mentioned before. Nevertheless I still felt like this was a weird but fascinating vacation, later we saw a group of creatures resembling outdated reconstructions of sauropod dinosaurs. Large beast with necks as tall as buildings stuck in the swamps in which they grazed from with their dumb looking faces munching on the aquatic vegetation, although I half expected Fred Flintstone to slide down one of these thing's tail. They were all scared off by a creature that resembled a large bipedal lizard with big ear like appendages on its head, very uncharacteristic for a dinosaur like creature to have ears but hey these things aren't your typical dinos. Later one of the men from our group saw what looked like a pack of ceratosaurs most distinguishable via the horns on their noses walking around while making these rumbled growling noises. They seemed to not notice us thankfully and we even got to see something we never expected even in a place like this, it resembled a big upright creature with brown fur that looked like a cross between a bear and a monkey, one of the ceratosaurs seemed to notice it and it even got ahold of one of its arms with its massive jaws. The big bear ape thing kept on punching the reptilian juggernaut's head to end its grip of its hairy arm, the ceratosaurs then slammed the hairy monster with its tail but it then grabbed it and tried to slam the dinosaur on to the ground but it seems that went no where. The ceratosaur then slammed its foot on to the beast's chest and then bit down on its neck and shortly afterwards the hairy goliath ceased all movements and the saurian let go of its neck and in place was a puddle of gooey blood and it then slowly started pulling pieces of meat off of it and it just swallowed the meat whole through it's neck like a snake. I have to say I'd never expect to see such a duel happen in my life especially from such clunky moving creatures."*
