I like these weird sentient porcupines, but it's not really clear what about them is anomalous until the end (which is locked behind a level 3 clearence thing?) i'm not totally up to date on viderics, but are they now visible to the entire human race, or only those exposed to them? The idea they're like, memetically camoflagued is fascinating if it's the latter and it'd be cool to see that written about a little somewhere if so.
Beyond that
The instances show some sapient abilities, being able to solve puzzles for rewards and becoming accustomed to daily routines.
Maybe could be "The instances show rudimentary sapience, expressing the ability to solve puzzles for rewards and becoming accustomed to daily routines." or something? "some sapient abilities" just reads weird to me.
Otherwise they're cute and I like them
