Location: B04-Barnius Tags: Science Dr.Arvan ‘Yrich Arkov’s personal log: “I’ve landed on Barnius yesterday. This world is beyond every expectation. Flourishing forests cover its surface, painting it of the vivid colours of alien spring; A similarly vivacious wildlife inhabits the woods. I’d eagerly spend the rest of my life contemplating this places… But I’ve got work to do. There are thousands of genomes that need transcription; and to make things worse, I have a student to look after. I was assigned an apprentice by the New Moscow University a few days ago who is currently busy annoying me, the unexperienced little idiot. At least I can make him do the dishes.” End log. Barnius 1 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Dr.Arvan: “Parix, are you listening? Will you stop taking notes and actually following my explanation at once? Parix: ”Sorry Doc, just trying to write down all these nitrogen bases. Not that they mean anything to me...ATTAGCATCGTATAGCCGZXHFXZ... And what do these Z and X And H stand for, by the way?” Dr.Arvan: ”Parix, sometimes I think your neural cells are on strike. We’re 2.5 million light-years away from Earth and you’re surprised there are different biologic molecules? What really stuns me is that we have actually found all these adenine and thymine and so on. This is an unprecedented case of convergent evolution which you are totally ignoring!” Parix: “Doc, it’s not that I’m ignoring it... I just find it a bit, er, boring.” Barnius 3 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Barnius 5 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Dr.Arvan: “Parix, look. There are millions of new species on this beautiful planet which are endangered by our interference. We’re aliens here, intruders; our very presence puts at risk the ecologic balance of this marvellous environment. That’s why we’re sequencing their DNA. Nothing must be lost. Does that sound boring to you?” Parix: ”What?” Dr.Arvan: “What are you looking at, you... oh, I see. Morning Ms. Alya, any new findings today? Barnius 6 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Ms.Alya: “Explorer SpacerSteve found this reptorslicer egg and sent it for analysis. Dr.Arvan: “Excellent. By the way, I’d suggest you to steer clear from Mr. Starry Eyes, here. At least till I manage to get him killed by a carnivorous plant.” Extra pictures: Barnius 7 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Barnius 8 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Barnius 9 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Barnius 10 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr Barnius 11 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr

Location: Barnius - B04 Job: Explorer ----- Start Log ----- After arriving on Barnius, I started exploring in my M-3 Speeder. I'd been at it for a little while before I spotted an interesting looking plant and deposited it in the back of my speeder. I'll take it back to the lab for the scientists to examine. ----- End Log ----- More pictures here: Link C&C very much welcome

Flickr uploader isn't working, so I've resorted to Brickshelf. Haven't used it in a while, so hopefully everything comes out ok EDIT: Changed the second photo to one showing the cockpit and driver. Added a picture of the lab inside the spoiler. EDIT 2: Switched all the photos to Flickr links - hopefully they'll stay put now! Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Date: 5 Junali 3815. Location:Barnius. Expedition Code: MRV1B04. Expedition Leader: Big Sal. Expedition Vessel: M.A.N.T.I.S. Research Vessel 1 Aims: Conduct hydrological, geological and biomass survey of Barnius's oceans. Excerpt ends. ...but Sal, it’s larvae Friday in the cafeterias today, why do we have to eat bananas? Because every single one of these crates has bananas in. Those idiots in logistics must have misread the requisition form again! C’mon Smith, we’re stuck in the middle of this ocean until the boffins are done, so just chillax. I don’t know how you can relax with all the noise from that water drill, or whatever it is. I can barely hear myself think! Water drill? Seriously? I’m no scientist, but even I know it isn’t a water drill. How would that even work?! Water drill at 80% power, over. GETTING A BIT LOUD DOWN HERE JONES, OVER. WHAT?? Sal, these rocks are incredible! The hydrophobic crystalline structure is unlike anything I’ve ever- Damn it Kowalski, you’re so boring. Do you ever talk about anything other than rocks? Well… I am the mission geologist… Whatever. Come and help us pull up the nets, we might have caught something interesting by now. I hope we’ve got some different seaweed species since last time! Ugh, seaweed this, seaweed that. Don’t you ever talk about anything other than plants, Lafevre? Well…I am the mission botanist… In fact, what exactly is your specialty Sal? … … … Let’s get these nets up! Ooh, this is a new species. Oh, joy. Get it to the lab Lafevre, Kowalski and I can handle the other net. Now this is more like it! Let’s get it on board! Lafevre, forget the seaweed, come look at this! Wow, looks like it made its home around the skeleton. Or around the corpse when it was fresh and a source of food. Ewwww. Grow up Kowalski. Wait, is it moving…? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Did you hear something? Nah, it’s just the ‘drill’. Man, Smith, how would you even drill water? What is wrong with you? JONES, THE DRILL CAN’T HANDLE MUCH MORE OF THIS. NO MORE POWER, OVER! WHAT?? NO MORE POWER, OVER! MORE POWER, GOT IT! OVER! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *splash* … … Well, I guess it could be worse… Oh... Ok, that was a bit long, so thanks for reading if you made it to the end! Comments and criticism welcome!

Location: Barnius, B04 Log Update: My first task for the M.A.N.T.I.S. corp was simple enough, use the rugged new TR-2 Mining Rig to drill a few holes and evaluate what resources were available on Barnius: Video showing construction of the TR-2 rig: Glad to be building for M.A.N.T.I.S.

M.A.N.T.I.S Engineering Department Date : 7 Junali 3815 Location : Barnius - B04 Environment : Forest Participants : Ninja Nin; Mark of Orion; Massi Editoro; Myra Dynarski; Private Gnarl Graves; Scorpio Starstriker Log update : Almost the whole M.A.N.T.I.S. group has arrived on Barnius for exploration, it is a good opportunity for the Special Force and Explorers to test a new product, designed by the Scientists and Engineering Department. Knowing a few Special Force members are quite fond of using Drones in battle, a M.A.N.T.I.S. drone project has been developed. A station was setup on the planetary surface for the field test. Final calibration is completed. Scorpio Starstriker helps with the firmware update. Big Sal ! What are you doing here ? You're not supposed to be here in this week MOC and stop playing with the manual override. Special Force members Myra Dynarski and Private Gnarl Graves are preparing for action. The Hydrolyzed Water were shipped from Lady Kianna's Supply Station. Our new recruits Mark of Orion and Massi Editoro are also ready. M.A.N.T.I.S. Assault Drone Mark I , ready to take off !
