The news of the siskan's uncharacteristic violence quickly spread throughout the Parliament. All officers not currently engaged with other threats were quickly dispatched to the minister's break room to subdue the beast by any means necessary. Visyvia Lyathan the xadlakian head of security surveyed her rapidly assembled squadron in the hastily evacuated corridors surrounding the break room. Due to the massively multi-specied nature of the Allied Lands it was not unusual to see a group of individuals, none of whom were of the same species, and that was the case here. Due to budget constraints they all wore the same type of body armour, which having been designed to be effectively used by so many different species was as effective for each individual species as wrapping themselves in tissue paper.
Visyvia raised one of her spindly-fingered limbs and traced across her body a roughly triangular shape and began her battle prayer. The rest of the squadron, though only one of them practised frenoau, recited the prayer along with her. The ritual caused Visyvia's eyes to burn with righteous fire and the faint shape of a halo to shimmer over her head. Battle preparations complete Visy gave the signal and they burst through the door, led by the shimmering form of the hulking Empyrean. They kept tightly together, scanning the room for movement, their blasters, or magical abilities if they had them, ready to attack the siskan the moment he showed his wretched shell.
This turned out to not be necessary. Visy’s halo melted away as they discovered the siskan dead in its cocoon. A later inquest would reveal that it somehow choked to death on its own toxin. However the bewildering nature of the Siskan’s demise had to be put aside, as a squad member called to Visy. She dashed over to where the rinoat officer stood, muttering a quick prayer as she did. There she found half of her squadron standing, guns at the ready, over a small black blob with feeble vestigial arms.
“What is it?” Visy asked perplexed. The rinoat, whose name was Lorenzo Esprey, punched some buttons on his massive computerised gauntlet causing a holographic interface to appear in the air before them. It showed a picture of the small black blob on one half and a rapidly cycling image of various other species in the other.
“Ran check against all Allied species, now running further check against database of all known species. Currently no results. Estimated time till completion; fifteen minutes.” He tilted his head at Obfuscation. “Hypothesise creature is previously unencountered. Suspect check will produce no results.”
“What do you suggest?” Visy asked.
“Requisition hazmat team to contain creature.” Lorenzo replied. “Take to laboratory for detailed examination. Creature is only unknown variable in situation. Likely cause of abnormal behaviours.” Visy nodded slowly.
“Make it happen.” She replied.
