Rocklarks

Lenora, We had some issues with the specimens you brought back from A24. Was there anything unusual about the rocklarks? Did you notice any strange behaviours?
Idris, I'm not an expert. I wouldn't know if one was acting weirdly. They're fairly strange to begin with. What's the problem?
We're fairly certain one of them wasn't a rocklark at all. We're not really sure what it is. Some kind of emulator, able to adopt different appearances.
A shapeshifter?
For want of a better word, yes. A creature pretending to be a rocklark. We checked on the specimens this morning. One had vanished. In its place appeared to be a member of the Research Team. I swear Daria almost let it out. It talked to us, speaking in cliches, and seemed obsessed with food. It was downright freaky. Eventually, it produced a stapler from somewhere. We still have no idea how it did that.
