What we not going to mention that the article doesnt actually say anything about a living entity other than, we know life must exists or something like that. I recommend not clicking on ops link.
The most interesting part of the entire thing was the claim that the astronaut said there appeared to be what looked like small clean drilled holes. Hastily scattered. Sounds like some one intentionally did it, I think I remember a similar story years ago about a small hole and oxygen escaping? Assuming its real, how does this happen.
Someone sneaking out of the airlock, someone with their own personal craft, or someone sneaking out of another docking shuttle? Those are about the only scenarios I can imagine. No way meteorites made clean holes like that without penetrating the entire station.
All the article says is that fluid leaked out of a radiator and coalesced around the tether. Prolly a good idea to bring him back inside before it weakens the integrity of the rope or whatever. I wonder what exactly they were using in there anyway.
-edit-
its ammonia.
The heated ammonia circulates through large radiators located on the exterior of the Space Station, releasing the heat by radiation to space that cools the ammonia as it flows through the radiators.
gonna give this a watch, but im thinking maybe it was something to do with the potential thermal energy?
Final conclusion from me. It was either they worried about the thermal energy, or its because while ammonia is considered a base, it can be turned into a acid when exposed to other organic solvents that can remove a proton from it. I wonder if space radiation/ionization could potentially do that.
-edit- 2
Apparently ammonia is caustic in concentrated form. So yeah I would say thats most likely it.
This pic in article is bad Photoshop.
