This is a followup report clarifying the recent reports of unusual cephalopod-like alien incursions into our material reality. Colloquially these creatures are often referred to as “tentacle monsters”. Though like “vegetables” and “fish” this is a wildly imprecise classification. Indeed while some tentacle monsters resemble octopi or squids [See Subject L008 Codename: H Squidward], others bear more in common with plant matter [See Subject 2324 Sap Sipper]. Others meanwhile have appendages that themselves resemble entire snakelike creatures fused into a gestalt hive-mind organism. [See Subject G612 Hydra and Subject J414 Orochi].

This specific example appears to be a creature with sophisticated muscle fibers and sensory nerves which facilitate both sensory functions and a form of physical communication. We enlisted the assistance of Metahuman Subject 8989 C-Hayden to examine the creature’s mind using her psionic abilities however results were inconclusive. The creature’s communication patterns and thought processes bear little resemblance to human cognition (we are still in the process of cross referencing available extraterrestrial linguistic data provided by MA’AT).

Agent Hayden was engaged with this entity for upwards of 17 hours during which she experienced numerous physical interactions and observed a variety of information-seeking behaviors from the subject. The creature would periodically emit a sweet-smelling fluid that, when unintentionally (and later intentionally) consumed by Agent Hayden, removed the need for meal breaks during the extended session, though chemical analysis of the nutrient fluid seems to include a significant amount of alien biomatter that, in contact with mammalian nerves and digestion seems to result in powerful hormonal effects, not limited to increased arousal and heightened mental acuity. The substance appears to be non-toxic and mildly addictive, further study is required.
