INT. WAREHOUSE CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY

Rosalie clicks on her device. On the screen appears a sort of animated cutaway showing food moving through the creature’s top siphon into a stomach.

ROSALIE

The gross anatomy of this creature is bizarre, though, as if some latter-day Frankenstein stitched it all together as some sort of prank. The top siphon serves as a breathing and feeding organ leading to a simple stomach.

Geometric shapes move down the animated siphon.

ROSALIE

The stomach contains various internal organs of manipulation, almost an internal mirror image of the tentacles it has on its outside. After some experimentation we discovered that the creature seems to have a preferred diet of live animal protein.

Live?

ROSALIE

It seems to especially like eating whole goats, Dr. Lal. Fortunately for the company, goats are cheap.

Rosalie turns to the screen and clicks.

ROSALIE

The brain is a toroidal structure that surrounds the lower end of the feeding siphon. It’s probably at least ten times the mass of a human brain.

The brain appears on the screen, a giant doughnut around the siphon inside Gynophage.

ROSALIE

We’re not really sure what the creature needs all those neurons for.
