Darth Metus warranted one of Doctor Lovous's classic glares. That was accompanied by another slight wave of that 'scent'. There was a low growl as she didnt say anything, yet. There was a soft exhale of air as she looked at her datapad. When those two fingers pointed at her she wanted to break them off. Pointing was not good manners in the slightest. Her chin lifted in imperious indignation but turned towards the assigned pod as she was putting her helm on that had a lot of high end and really good computing scanners and data collectors of a variety of sorts. Rashae Acknowledged the droid pilot politely as they were jettisoned in efficient succession.
Her fingers went over the controls. “Lets get samples of this water every fifty meters. Things change in waters this size.” The droid initialized the acid proof small tubes. These tubes were custom to be about the size of a large bullet nothing more. Rashae didnt need more than that to analyze. She may have to put it into a chemical spectrometer though. She wasnt a chemist but organic chemistry was required learning as a geneticist that clones and grows creations from splicing and fusions.
Considering how fast they were descending she was glad the droid was doing the sampling. She wasnt sure she could sample ever 50 meters as fast as they were descending. “Watch nitrogen levels in the crew. Especially the boy. “ She reminded Yuna. Hers was fine as her scans in her helm indicated. Why Darth Metus let a boy on this venture she had no idea but she began her descent in earnest.
Wait what was this? “interesting.” There went another one of Rashae's 'interesting' . This was coupled with a pause as you may hear her fingers going over the console to manipulate the numbers. “initial findings are a mixture of methanol and nitric acid which with the free protons floating around turn into a conjucted acid and a conjuncted base in varying degrees in floating 'clouds' within the water. Caustic base or caustic acid take your pick. Still going to cause damage butttt.. it gets less the further we go down. “
They seemed to break a barrier and into well different 'water'. Even the sound of the water rushing past sounded different. “and nothing. Acid and Base content is.. clearing. Heavy salinity though. Still collecting samples. There are other anomalies that are low percentage but I need better equipment to break it down. “
The headlights were looming at the bottom of the floor but she was scarcely paying attention as she was going over data. The droid now and then would give her vectors. The hissing of the hull being disolved stopped altogether. “life sign readings? Like to see if we got any bio readings of indigenous fauna. I am not getting any flora signatures.“
Scanners lit up her pod and her helm like a life day tree. There were unusual readings but it was unclear exactly what it was. “There is something out there biological wise .. “ she reran the numbers. “Something .. big.” If it was as large as her calculations were? The thought left that ominous solution as she the main headlight was pouring through heavy salinated water. One could see the heavy salt solutions stream through currents as the spotlight went over the bottom. The bottom... moved. It was very cold down in these depths, approximately 1.6 celcius (35 degrees). Not much moves at that temperature unless it was a biological. “Darth Metus, uhhh. “ Rashae's heart started racing as she was pretty much right on top of it. Then her eyes lit up... samples!!
“lets shoot a sampler into .. there. “ The droid actually looked at her like she was certifiably insane. “fine let me do it. “ She gave the droid a disparaging look like it was chicken. Now Rashae and gun type apparatuses were not exactly friends. The sampler was about the size of a large bullet with a garrot attached to bring it back.. it is designed to puncture and get a few cells. It worked on the Progenitor. But she was much closer to it. The doctor gave no warning or no indication she was at all logical. Health readings would indicate very high adrenaline and an even impressive amount of neural activity. The shot rang out to what she suspected at the sandy floor was a biological. The shot went through the thin layer of sand ….
