//------------------------------// // 09/01 // Story: Seeds of Extinction // by Jade Ring //------------------------------// The alien plant samples have been destroyed. My entire team has been tested and isolated for seventy-two hours. None of us show any signs of any kind of infection. Now I just have to get Camp Everfree quarantined. Shouldn't be hard now that Timber is the sole owner. After really thinking about it, I've narrowed down the possibilities of what happened/what is happening to two options. Possibility 1- The pod/object struck the surface and dispersed spores on impact into the air where they scattered into the atmosphere. Air currents then carried the pollen through the lower atmosphere and the seedlings were released within the precipitation over the next few days. Possibility 2- The seedlings spread into the soil directly from the impact point. Given that the area of environmental impact seems to be small, I'm leaning towards Possibility 2. If that's the case, then a large area of Camp Everfree will have to be burned and the soil salted. It's going to break Timber's heart, but if what I believe happened to Gloriosa actually occurred, then it has to be done. If I'm right, then we are all in grave danger and have to act fast.
