Premise travel log 3

After just 7 years I finally just earned a promotion into the aquatic research department.
No longer will people refer to me as trainee or tea boy, no I will now be Doctor Murphy Mariner,
the marine biologist.

I've always been scared of water, but my 7 years as a scientist understudy taught me how
amazing it is to dive into the unknown. Also, I do want to conquer my phobia as I'm scared of
planes too, so I can’t travel abroad by flight.However the major benefit of this specific role is that
you have clear communication through to international parties. Imagine such a luxury, science is
not only discussed in English, so why wouldn’t international communication be a must.

On my first day on the team we did some investigating of coral reefs, near an uninhabited
island. For those more prone to land knowledge there are four variations of coral reef, those
being: Atolls (located in Lagoons sea center), Barrier(located in parallel to coastline),
Patch(located in the continental shelf) and Fringing(located in the border of islands).
The team discovered something extraordinary, we found the four of them overlapping in one
spot, as if a patch of each just fused together.
The multi patch was only an inch, but out of all the primary research conducted that day, that is
the only thing I wanted to focus on and my request was granted.

The international parties that worked with us were Germany, known for their top 10 ranking
globally of research departments and Japan known for their super fast bullet train.
Microscopic drones have positives and negatives, some have been disguised as dragon flies to
poison people while some have saved animals trapped in tall grass from farming machinery.

We got to explore the microenvironment of the land from the sample of the coral reef through a
microscopic drone. How was it possible that a civilization was built here, and one that smells like
marine life too. Both drones have different HUD settings and are both in their native language,
for example the German minidrone has: battery, map and picks up on atmosphere pressure and
can pick up on sound waves.
Additionally the Japanese mini drone has a timer for how long it can be active, thermal sensor
which can also be reduced if damaged and it has a map along with pressure sensitive cameras
that chip if the environment is too toxic.

The German mini drone has six square shaped cameras, on the top, bottom and on its sides,
there are virtually no blind spots when it comes to their surveillance technology, however it was
quite heavy so took longer to move.

The Japanese mini drone had a triangular shaped camera and only had them on the top, bottom
and front, which meant if anything was incoming it would not be prepared, but as it was
lightweight it was faster than the German mini drone.
 A team of 5 including me were the research team, I was the lead microscopic drone
commander/drone controller, my other teammates edited the research and asked for multiple
tests, I used the drone over a three month period. On the date the 17th of December 2021 at
4pm and each month at the same time I would use the drone to explore the world, something
changed each time, and as many other departments had to use the drone, so we booked our
exploration far in advance.

If I were to compare the culture and environment to the outside world, and some of these
comparisons might be a stretch I detected ancient religious culture similar to the Egyptians with
indented and pushed up hieroglyphics and barbarically cut, rough edged shark teeth and fish
intestines.

The mold makes these amazing spirals like spilled water left too long. There is no structure, it's
splattered everywhere, I couldn’t find any part of the world without mold on it at all. The climate
has toxic gasses and acidic rain, it’s always raining and the mold is worsened by the stains,
most of it is derelict.

Mold needs moisture or a poor hygiene to grow, it can be carried by the wind, latching on to
anything hairy. The microscopic drones detect the smells emitted from the mold, some are less
present, some are very dominant.

Some molds we have picked up are Penicillium and Aspergillus, which can survive in space and
infect planets, which is why it has to be contained in a room far away from the most populated
labs.

Some areas do have bone jaw shelters, so there is some unaffected ground, but they still have
invisible mold growing, which means it’s not strong enough to be extremely visible yet like
particles instead of a combine.

The mold behaves like a symbiote making a clear indication where it spawned onto, tweaking
what remains of the fragments. I believe there are inhabitants, like slugs because there are wet
trails but instead of being parallel they are oval shaped and unequal making me believe the
creatures jump and quite far at that.
The mold has spread rapidly inside cracked bones leaking out their center, to the point where
you don’t know the base of what it infected.

The building’s structures are interesting shapes like field goals in the NFL, the Gherkin in
London, the Shard in London, the Lotus Delhi in India and the Ostankino Tower in Russia.

I see bone statues of the beings are celebrated, on podiums but we could only see glimpses of
them as going too close to them showed static from our camera receivers, there’s some part of
this world that are unsurvivable, i’m guessing even for the inhabitants, they seem deserted and
have smells that chip at the glass of our drones. There are probably carcasses there but we
cannot guarantee that.
I feel like this world is male dominated, mostly due to the statue being muscular and I find it hard
to believe a unique civilization like this is culturally sensitive and cares about the current
acceptance of the world.

I also feel there is a severe lack of personality in the buildings apart from the hieroglyphics and
there is no smoothness, or curves, traits normally derived from femininity to represent women.

OHHH NOOOO THE JAPANESE MINI DRONE’S SCREEN JUST WENT BLACK, THERE
WAS 15 MINUTES REMAINING FROM IT’S HUD SCREEN.

NOW THE GERMAN MINI DRONE IS TRACING IT’S TRACKER,

BUT WAIT! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE’VE LOCATED THE CARCASS OF THE
JAPANESE DRONE BUT YET THE TRACKER IS BEEPING QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY?

THIS FEELS TERRIFYING, BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THAT TRACKER IS!

NOOOO THE GERMAN MINI DRONE GOT BAITED AND SLAUGHTERED, WE HAVE NO
EYES IN THE SAMPLE , REPEAT WE ARE COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS IN THE CORAL
SAMPLE.
