Hunter latched onto the plane as it initialized.
Hunter had been turned on 6 times for testing sake, and then never again.
Now, it was somewhere completely different. From its estimations, it was on top of a primitive flying device. Further analysis showed that the plane could not support Hunter's extra weight. There was a solution to this problem that would also increase its data points, however.
Reaching down with a tentacle, it fired through a passenger window. Screams began. It reached into the window and grabbed a ratfolk, then reeled it back in above the plane. The rat being did not match any species in Hunter's database. Further analysis was required. The rat began babbling in a language that Hunter also had no knowledge of. However, it could calculate the approximate meanings of the words to mean "Help," "No," and general gibberish. Hunter would need to study another, more mentally sound creature to learn the language properly.
Using its sharp grappling fingers, Hunter began dissecting the Rat, who's gibberish quickly died off. The rats had a large brain-body ratio, indicating average to below average intelligence in the race. The muscles seemed efficient for bursts of motion over stamina. This one was on the older end, so the lifespan appeared to be approximately 50 years maximum.
While Hunter did this, it used two other arms to continually expel ratfolk from the plane. Each was about 1/20th of Hunter's current weight. It seemed there were about 32 rats in the plane, so this method to relieving weight was going to work.
The plane began spinning, likely the pilot trying to shake Hunter off. However, it was meaningless. Hunter's claws dug into the plane, and held, as a free arm snaked through the inside of the plane and executed the pilot from behind.
The plane empty, Hunter began releasing nanomachines to take control of basic steering functionality, while its free hands had found the luggage compartment to riffle through.
Preliminary Analysis complete: Ratfolk development was too extremely similar to human-kind. That statistically ruled out a distant planet. Possible scenarios: This is the future/This is proof of multiverse theory/This is a simulation.
The final option seemed most plausible. This was a simulation. But Hunter was given no role. What was the Objective? Further analysis was required.
