Xenobiology isn't really my thing-I generally do biochemical work at the micro level.
I know how to run samples of the invasive flora and fauna from the contaminated ring through our array of analytical equipment, but when it comes to interpreting the results I'm mostly at a loss.
Anyone could see that these invaders are wildly exotic and demonstrably hostile, but beyond that, I'd just be guessing at what I'm looking at.
That said, I'm relatively sure that a lot of what I sampled were genetically-modified organisms-like our maewings-possibly created using commandeered equipment in the other ring.
Unlike maewings, all of these organisms seem to have been created to establish an aggressive perimeter defense.
Defense of what, I'm not exactly sure...
I'm back to suspecting our Homo deus visitor is responsible, but I haven't even mentioned the most damning evidence-I think I'm seeing traces of Element in these samples, the same alien material that poisoned our home planet.
Element, incorporated into living, mutated tissue. If I'm right, this is extremely bad news.
