Once the initial adrenaline rush from the monster’s presence wears off, it’s going to dawn on them what a rare opportunity this is. They actually have a monster trapped, and apparently unable to get at them. They’ll try talking to it-
“Hello?” “Who are you?” “Look, buddy, you’re not getting to us, so you might as well calm down.” “What do you want?”
-and so forth. Jim will even try making various insect-y noises ala Scroop to see if it responds to that.
IF THE ANOMALY IS STILL STICKING ITS ARM OUT UNDER THE DOOR, THEN:
They’ll also try once again to create a fruit-battery with paper clips and nails and drop the thing on the monster’s arm to see if the (extremely weak) electrical current has any effect on it. Then they'll pour ammonia on it to see if it reacts.
If/when all else fails, one of them will, extremely careful to avoid getting too close, use Jim’s hockey stick, with a piece of metal from the rubble attached to its head, to try to pin the appendage down while one of the others tries to cut off part of it with a "sword" that Zell fashioned for Zack using a piece of metal rubble. Just for good measure, Jim uses one of their cyanide pills to coat the edge. Are they successful? Can this sample be collected in a jar (with great care not to touch it)?
All of this is being recorded. Will there be any distortion, and if so, how much?
