The receptacle of terror

Vivisection report. Perseus ship.
Good morning, my name is Frans Siversten and this audio will serve as a guide to later write my report on the creature. We have immobilized one of the tentacles and I proceed to make an incision in it in order to study its internal musculature.
But... really, for what? What is the meaning of all this? It's really of no use. My eyes are no use either. Why should I have them? I proceed to the incision.
The Norwegian Academy of Sciences wants to clear its bad name and it seems that its latest discovery is going to achieve it. An immense cephalopod of the Magnapinna race has been captured and now we will be able to know much more about these imposing creatures.
If you survive to tell the tale.
