The popular Bunyip exhibit at the Glenn Commission Science Exhibit is in disarray after the Bunyip was apparently fed and teased to the point that it became enraged. Twisted wreckage from bystanders' ships is still scattered across a wide area, and casualty numbers are still being tallied.Witnesses at the scene described a bizarre chain of events after the seemingly innocent Bunyip had been fed. After the final morsel had been digested, the Bunyip transformed into a ghostly Bunyip Vestige and remained in its cage, apparently a shadow of the original creature. Meanwhile, a vicious Bunyip Projection bared its fangs and unleashed chemical blasts on nearby ships.
Exhibit officials are livid over the incident.
"We stated quite succinctly, and I quote, 'PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE BUNYIP,'" said one exhibit spokesman. "Is there some ambiguity here that the public does not understand? Of course, we realize that some Progen and Bogerils may not fully understand the word 'please,' but the rest of the message was quite clear. 'DO. NOT. FEED. THE. BUNYIP.' So what did the cretins do? They fed Conorium to the Bunyip! Gahhh! This is inconceivable!"
Clean-up and recovery efforts are continuing throughout the sector. The Bunyip has been temporarily stabilized and pacified, though exhibit officials are worried that it may escape again at any time. Exhibit scientists reiterate their request that the Bunyip NOT be fed Conorium or any other material.
