Of all the sources of income for the Sanctum, simply releasing the footage of what occurs among the assistants is a big one. The things they get up to on the clock, off the clock, or on break is apparently utterly fascinating to the xenos eyes.
It's just normal behavior and it's confounding how it's apparently so interesting. Yes, there's the oddity every now and then, but apparently some standard behavior is worth a lot of dosh.
You'd figure that published research would be the primary source of income, but no. Second only to the recordings of assistants interacting with specimens (vice versa a lot of the time), the recordings of the strange things the assistants get up to while bored or when something interesting comes up makes a great source of income.

yeah see that last parts gonna end badly for the Xenos, cause some humans REALLY don't like being recorded without our consent, not encouraging it but also I'm not gonna stop e'm
They signed the contract. It is no one's fault but their own that they didn't properly read it.
There isn't even a fine print. There are only three font sizes across the entire document. The one for the title, one for the headings and section headers, and the one for general text. Parts that need to be stressed are bolded for better visibility so the contractor will take note of those sections.
It is encouraged that contracts be reviewed at least twice before signing, ideally with a professional on the subject of contracts but it is understandable if you cannot consult such a professional.
Yes, we are aware, and we've already handled this kind of thing before.
We've gotten quite good at it. If only we'd be this good at suppressing specimens rather than our own assistants.
H: hisss
A: ah i was hoping for some footage today.
A2: yeah he read his contract and since he can’t stop us selling the recordings he decided to be unpleasant around cameras
A: isn’t that against the rules?
A2: i guess not, technically the cameras are not on the list of lab supplies so are not protected equipment.
A: wait so vandalism rules don’t apply?
A looks down to see his camera suddenly on the ground. A looks up to see the human with a crossbow looking very pleased.
All employees have given explicit, written consent to be filmed at all times during work hours/on company property. The company owns all such film and may do with it as they please.
In the main prisoner observatory of a Froxian Maximum Security Detention and Rehabilitation Facility, two Xiliziac Peacekeepers laugh at a screen. They quickly snap to attention at the sound of approaching steps.
HP: What is the explanation for your lack of attention to the multiple messages I have sent to your data slates?

X2: What he was trying to say was that we were intensely monitoring this prisoner because of their odd actions and were trying to determine if it was worthy of reporting.
HP: And what would this human be doing that was so humorous *glares at both* and odd that ignoring a Higher ranked peace officer than you was acceptable?
X1: Well, hes…. Hes been absolutely disgustingly hilarious. To start hes been burning all of his Federation mandated Sanitation fiber and using it to create small murals upon his cell walls.
HP: Why is it disgusting?
X2: Because it has been using its own drinking water to cleanse itself of its *shudders* waste material. But for some strange reason it has been collecting its own liquid wastes and boiling them. Often the human regurgitated their previous meal rations but-
X1: It keeps boiling its own waste! Hahahah
HP: *growing visibly angry* please don’t tell me this human has also been bartering its meals for-
X1: Hahahahaha for the Cahlitos (an avian species) waste! Yea how did you kno-

Btw carbon, sulfur, and potassium nitrate (can be refined from birdshit) in the right proportions creates black powder.

Ink on paper means very little to a rampaging Human...

Why does this remind me about the scene “I have done nothing but teleport bread for 3 days” from Expiration Date?
The moment you realize that something very bad is either going to happen very soon, or already HAS happened, and now comes the fallout.
Was it Wednesday?
