NOTICE: There has not been given an official designation for this species, as they were only captured and transported to the Blacksite 2 days before the lockdown. The species have been given an un-official designation, "S-Q".
S-Q, codename "Squiddles", is an as-of-yet unknown species. They were discovered on the "████████" G-class cargo ship, after they had broadcasted a distress signal in the middle of the night, in the general area of ████████████████. After the rescue ships failed to respond, and with no storms or hurricanes that could have disrupted the rescue op, Urbanshade operatives were soon after sent to investigate, incase it was an as-of-yet unreported containment breach, or a creature from the Let-Vand zone that had somehow made it to the surface. When the operatives boarded the ships, they found that the power was out, the majority of the crew were dead and there were only handful of survivors left. They also found an estimated 600 S-Q instances. They were rounded into containers and taken to the Blacksite for documentation. The "████████" and the rescue ships were sunk, the survivors were executed and a cover-up story saying they were lost in a non-existent storm was given to the public.
S-Q instances are what can only be described as purely dark humanoid looking squids. Whilst they have a human head and torso shape, they don't have any arms where arms should be, and have tentacles in place of legs.
S-Q instances have the ability to manifest themselves wherever they want, as long as there are no light sources of any kind illuminating the area. If an S-Q instance is in a dark room, and the lights turn on, it will instantly de-manifest from said room, and re-manifest in the closest fully dark area.
S-Q's are normally docile, simply floating above the ground, minding its own business. They only become aggressive when someone uses a light source of any kind and shine it at the instance for a short period of time. If the person holding the light source doesn't turn said light source off, or doesn't point the light source away. the instance will attack the wielder. They will also attack if stood near for too long. After a few seconds, they will attack as if they were shining a light at them. Normally, this won't kill the individual, unless they are already somewhat wounded.
After Z-13 opened their containment cells and turned off the lights in the sector, the S-Q instances are now all over the Blacksite. In the event that the power in a room is out and the lights are off, operatives are highly advised that they are ready to either turn off the light source they're holding, or look away incase they spot an S-Q instance. They must also be careful not to keep their distance. S-Q instances seem to possess some lower forms of intelligence, as they will recognize someone invading their personal space because its necessary. For example S-Q instances will NOT attack anyone using a keycard to unlock something.
Operatives who get a glimpse of an S-Q instance notice that their "head" will change appearance. It's speculated that the S-Q species tries to conjure up what they *think* is scary, as a defense mechanism.
