Roughly the size of a large yacht.
Upper Deck- Piloting, and your cabin.
Middle Deck- Surgery and the Fabricators
Lower Deck- Containment, Tractor Beam Pickup, and everything else that we might add.

If we did, +1, but I think they either got scrambled by the tractor beam or got blown out into space.

Biogenerator
We clearly need to improve our tools for bio-tech work.

We should try a live hunt on this X-com.

I'm not sure we want to draw X-COM's attention just yet. We only have 3 soldiers, and only basic weaponry

Lets snag the Biogenerator.

Lets investigate the Sealife next. Maybe a mix between a Boxer Jellyfish, an octopus, and a Polar Bear. Can you say, toxic betentacled jellybear? Cause I can.

Definitely biogenerator.

Even if it's limited to organs, we can work on creating super-efficient and powerful organ systems, a la TF2's "Meet the Medic".

Biogenerator. Definitely. Once we have it, we can work on improving the efficiency and usefulness of the bio-armor. Basically make everything it's made of higher quality, and give it some built in bone dart guns in the arms. Some sort of piston system in the legs to enable basically... rocket jumping would be nice as well.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

I'd like a consensus on what to do besides new tech. One +1 would help me out a bit.

Attack sea world!

We can both test out our creations and investigate the Sea life.

I vote biogenerator.

Then we use samples from the 'rhino' specimen, and replicate them in the way we need. We can remake the bio-armor to be form fitting and much more effective. Right now we are just gluing the bits together in a flesh suite for our cat people to wear.

Woot woot, science hovertrain coming in! The new Biogenerator is simply placed next to the surgical table, ready to go. You've been looking around the northern pole of the planet, where there seem to be vicious not-quite-felids hunting there. To supplement it's non-dexterous form, you pick up the most dexterous form on this planet- 'Octopus'. Venom glands seem an enticing prospect, but in the absence of suitable subjects, you generate brand-new neurotoxin glands! Isn't science beautiful?

With your not-quite-felid test subject laid onto the table, scalpels busily cut into the neck to install venom glands, and adapted blood vessels to the back. Grafting the tentacles takes some time, especially the toxin injectors, but your hard work has paid off. The instincts of the 'octopus', every limb on it's back is capable of movement. There seems to be only one flaw; due to now-useless 'ink' instincts, the creature gets constipated when frightened.
+9 Science points

In addition, it seems most of your subjects are getting somewhat hungry.

Using the tractor beam, harvest large swaths of those yellow husky fruits that were right next to any Myooooohs, they can probably be fed to some of our subjects.
