A gnoll is tied to a chair, beaten and bruised, from the looks of it he looks to be from the Namib clan. The room is barren, void of anything but solid walls and a small window near the ceiling to vent out the stench. The Brown Gnoll sat in silence, seemingly waiting for what was to happen next. Through a plate of small glass a woman in a lab coat stood taking notations of the subject’s behavior.
The Namib have always proven to be such interesting creatures. They have a very high tolerance for pain and from the looks of it, they could probably dish out worse than what they can take. These creatures, opposed to their kin, take on a lot of self-pity and self-sacrifice as if they were to prove something to someone– the powers, their matron, who knows? They scar their body in different ways and layer the scars with tattoos, some sort of custom they practice. It makes little to no sense, but when does a gnoll ever do anything that makes sense?
The woman motions to the shadowed figure around the corner and the metal door slides open and another gnoll is thrown inside with the first. The heavy door slides shut behind the stripped gnoll as a small vent opens and four catadillo scurry into the room.
Test G43N proved that these two clans do not like each other. The Namib prove to be very loyal and passive while the Dhubba prove to be more cunning than his brother. On the other hand when they are trapped within confines the Namib will do anything to be released from his bindings to attempt to kill the Striped Gnoll. It was a nightmarish scene to behold; the rapid and quick movements were unpredictable. The mess afterwards took three men six hours to clean.
The scientist looks up from her notes, pushing her lenses further up her nose and a look of confusion overtakes her. The Striped had helped the Brown out of his bindings and they stood together, back to back, defending one another until the battle was complete. They stood in silence, waiting.
What is the meaning of this?! They fight together, yet they fight with each other on a whim? I do not understand! I suppose it is something no one but a gnoll could understand. Family and cultures come with priorities over what one hates or dislikes. Maybe there is something more to these creatures than I previously thought. Perhaps I’ll throw another loop in the mess to see what happens.
It seems as though the “loop” that I had intended on throwing into the mix was a bit much. I decided to go ahead and capture a spotted gnoll to toss in to see how the three interact with each other. To my surprise, it seems as though the other two put aside their differences to defend the spotted gnoll at all costs. I wonder what the meaning of this is…
Without these beasts roaming around Kanada and other surrounding countries, I wonder what would become of the ecosystem. Or if there wouldn’t be an affect at all. Perhaps with some more studies I can conceive the ideal of a perfect environment for them. I have been contemplating lately of those other races that are beast-like in nature and thought of creating experiments for them as well, not only for my benefit, but for their own. Why would they want to live in a world, such as ours, a human dominated world? Don’t they feel trumped? A hard world out there for such hard creatures… What would our children think if they saw these animals out on the street bleeding, dying, begging for mercy, demanding things or killing each other? They would become hardened, and we cannot have that breeding into our society. We must protect those who will become our next generation to create a better life, a better society, a better world.
I am trying to get approval to get the go-ahead to take residency within the island. This will prove to be useful for the experiments and their surroundings. G43N was a success; G44N was as well, but what about G44N-Isl? That would be entertaining to watch. I will have to try to push for this as soon as possible so that we can begin on these new studies.
It seems as though there were some unexpected delays in our experiments due to personal reasoning. There was some issues with the laboratory and those other present because they find these findings to be be unethical. I, on the other hand, believe that these things are necessary if we are to fight and defend ourselves from these creatures. They are being held in the same standards as us, we should have a right to know how their madness works!
Why, with a single bite… well… never you mind that. I need to further investigate the on-goings of an acquaintance since they seemed to have caused some issues in our world. Never mind the fact that she was plotting to destroy everything I have worked so hard to accomplish!
I’ll get to the bottom of this…
There had been some personal issues I needed to tend to as of late, so my progress in reports and studies have been lack. I still have a couple of things to do, but in time, I’ll learn to balance it all.
Just as I have in the past, so please don’t be detered by this new information.
I have recently requested for new test subjects and my thoughts on my progression are leading towards larger breeds. I may be interested in lizard folk, as their anatomy astounds me.
Case studies are to follow once the new specimen arrive.
