Entry 25 - Day 11

I've spent today scanning the alien fish species to get more information to take back with me to Alterra space.  Apart from the Peepers and Garry fish I'd already scanned (and eaten), I've also got details on the large Gasopods (who's defence & attack technique is to release naturally grown poison grenades onto the surrounding water), Hoverfish & Hoopfish (both of which are sort of boring, but I expect xenobiologists would be fascinated).

I also swam back to the area near the Aurora and found enough material to complete the blueprint for a scanner room and parts for a laser cutter.  Not that I'm going to need either of those soon!

The PDA has warned me that the bacteria it originally detected in the water has now infected me.  I hope the Sunbeam has a decent medical bay on-board, or at least has a cryosuite.  I'd rather spend the return journey in cryostatis than die of some alien bacteria infection when I'm so close to getting home.
