Ben nodded “Yes quite so.” He grabbed his medical pack and looked into it “Uhm question, do we have any idea of its intelligence?” He asked as a thought suddenly occurred “I mean it’s not common but neither is it impossilbe that a creature like that possesses beyond rudimentary intelligence.”

Liam thought for a moment. It was a good question and one they had not touched on in any real depth. In fact, the main focus of their research was getting the creature out rather than co-existing with it. What they learned in regards to that area were mostly due to accidents rather than controlled experiments.

“I am not honestly sure,” Liam began.

“As far as I can recall, it only took over when it was starving. The scans of its brain didn’t suggest any activity beyond rudimentary when it was content. Mostly the creature seems to just exist in my body until it is starving. Then it influences my mind.”

Liam decided to clarify it so Grey didn’t get the wrong assumption.

“I’m still aware of what I’m doing, but it’s hazy and unclear. Like I’ve been drugged and to stop it, I have this desire to seek out radiation sources. That’s the best I can describe it to be like.”

OOC: Bump, just to put on the board again.

“I see, so it’s likely a creature run purely on instinct, not reason. Uncommon but not unheard of.” Benjamin mused “I suggest we wait to take any samples until we’re in Sickbay. Right now I have a few test ideas, an examination of the Creatures sensory abilities, pain measurements or threshold tests. What do you like?” He asked.

“I suppose that is the best way to describe it.” Liam nodded, feeling it was a correct assessment.

“We should start off with sensory abilities. It’s the mildest test compared to the other, in both stress and defensive responses. Pain should be done last because it could result in the most hostile reaction. I rather have extra precautions in place beforehand.”

Benjamin nodded, tapped a few commands and the radiation cage disappeared and was replaced with an adjustable table. “Have a seat, I’m going to place some scanners over where the creature is, hopefully, it will not perceive them as a threat. He opened his toolkit and started removing several small circular scanning devices “We’ll start with a Neurocortical Monitor and a small hammer” He smiled as he grabbed the small device and raised it up.

Liam nodded. His figure lifted from his seated position, taking a moment to stretch his legs. The muscle worked out the tingling leaving him to finally walk over to the table. He lifted himself to sit on it. Letting his legs dangle down, he observed Grey hold up one disc.

“As long as it doesn’t create pain or hurt me, I don’t think it will react. From what I recall, it usually doesn’t until the pain starts. Then it’s abrupt. ” Liam pointed out calmly while he waited for the doctor to continue.
