Specimen No.54: Malice

Day Z055:

'Narcissus' has a fan, but I refrain from calling him Echo. No, this quackling is more appropriately called 'Malice'. It waits for Narcissus to finish grooming before biting (ruffling) feathers out of place.

Specimen No. 53: Narcissus

Day Z054:

The injured technician has been swept off to an isolation ward. I have no idea how long the lab will continue to operate now that a human being has been injured in the facility. I must continue to record. Today we have Narcissus. So named because he likes to stare at himself in the many pools of blood lining the linoleum floors of cage C.

Specimen No. 52: Macbeth

Day Z053:

A huge vat of formaldehyde has gone missing. I swear something odd is going on around here. I cam into the lab this morning and there was a chatter. One of the quacklings 'Macbeth' by name, has done a Brutus and stabbed a colleague in the back with his beak, which became detached. There is no doubt but that the ducks are getting more and more aggressive.

Specimen No. 51: Grumpy

Day Z052:

I feel like Snow White today, living in my own Grimm fairy tale. Our work upon the eggs is continuing at a snails pace, and so I can but concentrate upon my own little dwarves. How I wish 'Grumpy' and his friends would help to keep the place clean...

Specimen No. 50: Priscilla

Day Z051:
'Priscilla' is named after my mother's pet dog. She's also the first female quackling we are inseminating - with uncontaminated mallard semen naturally...

Specimen No. 49: Herman

Day Z050:
Today we begin research on the eggs. We are going to try and incubate a few although common sense would suggest the experiment will fail. The quacklings are dead. Quite dead. Take Herman, today's specimen for example. Sikorsky, one of the lab technicians accidentally dropped him in the food mixer last night. He's still going strong however!

Specimen No. 48: Bronson

Day Z049:

Another one that strikes the fear of I don't know what into me is No.48 - Bronson. This is one of the strongest specimens - it takes three handlers in mesh suits to pacify him.

Specimen No. 47: Slick

Day Z048:
Today's quackling is nicknamed 'Slick'. You can see why - parts of his body are matted with what looks like oil. He's another specimen that the group tend to avoid.

Specimen No. 46: Chuck

Day Z047:
I'm beginning to suspect the London agents are holding things back from me. Several files have gone missing from Dr. Chandler's private safe. Could this have something to with his demise? More and more of the ducklings are developing human mandibular capabilities. 'Chuck' here, is but the latest one.

Specimen No. 45: Scully

Day Z046:
Yesterday we had Mulder, today we have 'Scully', and our first genuine fatality. This duckie couldn't swim in the makeshift pool tank we have now constructed in the rear of the lab behind the cage compounds. The reasons for this sudden de-animation need to be explored....

Specimen No. 44: Mulder

Day Z045:
An eerie calm greeted me when I cam in today. I got quite a shock as this one quackling jumped forward and thrust itself into the cage wire. All of the other specimens were quiet. Except this one. I shall call him 'Mulder'.
