The river has been higher the past couple of days, as we've noticed when setting our fishing nets, and it's been attracting the gigaducks.  We decided to keep a respectful distance for a while, partly because we don't want to show every edible creature on the planet that we're a threat right away, and partly because we now know just how much fight they've got in them.  They, of course, have no respect for us at all, and keep doing things like dustbathing next to where we're trying to work, or shitting right outside our tents.

What we've been calling 'tents' are actually the inflatable EHMs (emergency habitat modules) from the lander, the things you use if you have to ditch somewhere like Mars or Proxima B.  We set them up in a circle around the lander itself, which we've been using as a lookout tower.  Importantly for this story, we left all four hatches open on the ascent stage because we're too lazy to go through the process of unsealing them every time we go in and out.

This morning the gigaducks decided that if we can use it as a lookout, so can they.  There is one sitting in each hatch, and more of them have been bringing up plant material, presumably to build nests.

Calmly informing them that this isn't allowed is clearly not going to work, since even back in the anthropocene waterfowl were not known for respecting zoning regulations.  Kelleher has not yet succeeded in her project to modify a laser welding tool into a ranged weapon, so we can't shoot them.  Throwing rocks at them just made them retreat inside.  We tried to scare them away by yelling and banging on things, but we were about ten metres below them and the ducks are smart enough to know a bluff when they see one.

We've been trying to run this little recolonization project as a democracy but now Commander Singh had one of her Take Charge Moments and declared that somebody was going to have to climb up there and chase them out.  There were no volunteers.

She then told us that we are a disgrace.  We were willing to take on a black hole, but we're afraid of a duck? I offered that death in the black hole would have been pretty much instantaneous whereas getting killed by a duck would probably take a while and hurt the entire time. She didn't laugh but Reynolds and Rossi did so it was at least a little funny.

Rossi, who minored in psychology, argued that this is reasonable risk assessment. We are a critically endangered species - every individual is essential, not only to the long-term survival of humanity but to our short-term survival in the here and now. Ten metres is a long way to fall and the medical equipment we'd need to deal with major injuries is still in orbit on a ship that cannot land. The ducks are inconvenient but hardly life-threatening, and getting rid of them is not worth the possibility of someone being hurt or killed.

This all made the Commander cool off a bit and helped us feel better about our collective cowardice, but did not stop the gigaducks making a mess in the ascent stage.

Best-case scenario is Kelleher finishes her ray gun and we get four duck dinners and maybe even a couple of really big omelets.  Worst-case, we learn a great deal about the breeding cycle of Giganatis irata (Vandebeek has assured us this means "big angry duck" in Latin) and mourn the fact that nobody here has an appropriate English accent for narrating the documentary.  Either way, there'll be a hell of a cleanup job at the end of it.

Remember the weaselschnitzel?  Apparently the ducks will eat those, too.  One caught one and then ripped it in half for bite-sized pieces.  There have been times in the past few weeks when I felt like a badass survivalist.  Today was not one of those times.
