DATESTAMP 1.701.7 :: What to say about the specimen? It came from a
private collector, a part of some family for centuries.

We only had to feed it once a year. It didn't need light or water.
All it needed was conversation, though it showed no signs of

DATESTAMP 1,577,7 :: There are many ways to profit from a lifeform.

or dance or bleed. It just listens.

DATESTAMP 1,738.0 :: All it took was ignoring it. All it took was a

DATESTAMP 1,790.9 :: The creature has laid an egg. Even as I record
this log, the crew prepares to cut it open...
