Eathen.. How very fascinating! You have made quite the discovery Brainstorm, well done! I'm relieved to learn that you're alright and that there appears to be no lasting effects from your expedition!

And if by chance you have collected more samples than strictly required.. Perhaps you would not mind if I were to take them off your servos? Perhaps? 😊

Yes! I have so much of everything. It's all little tiny organisms so I had to get lots in case they die. They do reproduce when they die though so maybe I can make a small Eathen. That's for later.

I wanted to see you about the samples anyway. I want to see if you can figure out how these things are alive. I've already, obviously, figured it out. I just want to see if you can also figure it out.

What should we start with? All of it needs to be studied further and I'm so excited I can't choose.

You also got your scope back. That's perfect timing.

I almost forgot to tell you about the planet I found. I don't think it can even be called a planet though.

This thing, I'm naming it Eathen, it's not just one big rock like Earth is. It's like a hive mind of an infinite number of micro-organisms.

So I looked into it and it has two types of organisms one for flora and one for terra. There isn't supposed to be fauna there but there was some anyway.

When one of these micro organisms dies (I'm pretty sure it dies but that requires more observation) the other organisms immediately consume it and reproduce through mitosis. The flora and terra organisms can't produce eachother but they can consume eachother.

The flora organisms are all very acidic so I'll be doing a lot with those organisms to see if I can do something with that acid.

Oh! The entirety of Eathen is one organism. Kind of. It is smart and knows how to defend itself from invasive species. It sets traps for its prey. Even I fell victim to it. I fell into a hole in the ground that was covered by the flora and ended up in a cavern with a pit of acid at the bottom. The acid didn't even get through my finish though so I'm not sure I can make any special pellets with them.

Turns out I crash landed on the best possible planet. I don't even know if this would classify as a planet actually. Once I get back to somewhere I can do some proper tests, I'll share my findings but for now I'll tell you this. The planet I found is alive. The entire thing is made up of tiny organisms. Everything about this planet is constantly moving. Even the rocks and the soil. I'll need better equipment to do further testing. Not much of my equipment survived the crash.

I've also found some caves that I plan to explore tomorrow. I hope to see how deep these organisms go
