Phase 3 to Anal-Verse 333,333,333
Send a phase 1 into the analverse as well at the coordinates of 333,333,333 .... yes I'm trying to piss off the god of numbers
((If I can't make significant posts, at least I can be punny
Second part cancelled for being confusing))
Everything seems to return alright, at least no one got digested. Have to keep them under observation for a while to make sure they don't have any sort of space AIDS, but otherwise they seem fine.
Phase 1 probes to new universes:
-7,-7,-7
7,9,7
777,777,777
First one is a bit of an oddity.
It looks like a big, greenish red cave made out of pillow stuffing. It looks extremely soft and fluffy. And in this greenish-red fluff cave are what appear to be naked women. Rather attractive ones at that. And human, as far as you and the sods that watched the video can tell. You call up Sy and Oz and ask them to look at it.
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Might be." Oz responds after a few seconds.
"Yeah, it's a trap." Sy says,"That is bait. No matter what the Flash Gordon comics told you, there is no dimension of the space vixens."
"There are infinite possibilities in this...multi-verse I guess it is, so who is to say there can't be a dimension of hot ladies that are attracted to former convict scientists from another world?"
"Me. And probability. And common sense."
"I think you both need to remember the motto our science team lives by."
Simutaneously all three people look around their rooms for the familar poster. A poster of Former Head of science Maurice, flashing a grin and two thumbs up. Under his face is the phrase "Stick your dick in it, for Science!"
As per the other ones, null and the last returns with images of clouds, odd data that doesn't make much sense and it causes the sods that view the images to feel like everything they touch is soft and fluffy.
no signs of macroorganizms, besides that one giant macroorganism that is universe 333, 333, 333.
Get sonar and radar images, and set the probes to longer travel times. let them explore a bit and map this thing out. pay particular attention to possible empty spaces, would you? let's see if there is an outside, or if this entire universe is a living organism. if it is, then at least there is the possibility of caverns or cavern-like places, where we could set up shop. Also, look out for immune system responses, like white blood cells and whatnot.
Send phase three probe (samples of life, including sods and mewling fleshmasses, if we have those) to the rusty factory.
if all goes well, proceed to phase four (sending in human test subjects, who do nothing, but observe and report their experiences. If all goes well, send a scout team (phase 5), Make sure they have a hatch on top of their probe so the team can exit upward toward the iris. if possible, make this probe smaller so that the team has some maneuvering room, too.
Probe new universes:
3, 0, 0
0, 3, 0
0, 0, 3
The first two expeditions go fine. The air is polluted and the oxygen concentrations aren't livable by humans as they are (about 21% concentration is needed for that, 17 and lower and you start losing mental capacities) but in suits they're just fine. It's that last expedition that is the problem. They leave fine, show up fine, make reports about the room (nothing we don't already know), but they never make the next report and attempts to even locate them fail. Their tag was destroyed, apparently. Or at least rendered inoperable. It's possible it's just a technical glitch, the tags are complex. But rarely is it that easy, is it?
All null
NEW PROBING TIME
11, 23, 118
66, 81, 92
113, 192, 155
159, 74, 152
21, 192, 83
First three null
The last two:
The first appears to teleport onto a construction line of some sort. The cameras show what appear to be automated machines performing tasks on pieces of metal. It looks sort of like a car manufacturing plant. Then the probe gets cut in half and thats all she wrote.
The second comes back looking null, but the sods that actually watch the footage complain of lightheadedness and disconnect from their body, a sort of depersonalization. Shortly there after they pass out and go comatose. Their brains are still shown to be functional and alive but they refuse to wake up, despite displaying waking brainwave patterns.
1.Send a probe to the analverse to recover a biopsy. I'd like a nice big hunk of flesh that we can science easily.
2.When we've recovered it, take it to a different secure testing chamber, and have suited humans examine it. Not for science, just to see if they go crazy or die or something.
3.Assuming they're fine, then send in real suited scientists. How similar is the flesh to life that we're familiar with? Is it carbon based?
4.Does it have DNA, or something recognizable similar?
5.What size are its cells--same as ours, or enlarged like the creature itself?
6.Send a second probe to the analverse, but this time twenty (+-10) miles higher in the x dimension. What's it see?
7.Same as six, but twenty (+-10) miles away on the y dimension. What's it see?
8.Same as six, but twenty (+-10) miles away on the z dimension. What's it see?
Alright.
They do not go crazy nor die.
It's carbon based but it isn't terribly similar to life we're used to. It appears to have a genetics system or at least, something analogous. It doesn't use the same chemicals though, purines and pyrimidines and so on. It uses carbon as a connector, and has many of the same elemental pieces, but they're arranged differently.
There don't appear to be cells, at least not how we're used to them. The thing isn't made of a million tiny little blobs of individually functioning life. It looks almost like a giant soup of organelles with a great deal of organic but non-living structures.
Sneaky way to throw 6 new probes in there, jerk.
Vertical show more of the same, depth shows more of the same one way and a vast sea of greenish fluid on the other. This stuff partially dissolves the probe. The last, forward and back, show more of the same and something that looks similar but is smaller and has ciliated structures on the walls.
