Acoustic study of biological signals

I'm up late again, late enough where I probably should be sleeping not making this log. I put the Farpoint to good use today, very good use. After getting to the North America Nebula I did a little vopal mining w/ my also new dedicated mining ship, the Vopal Rush. I didnt get a huge load, but with all the other mining trips I've done I now have almost 300 ltds, on top of that I did manage to crack over 100 vopals so I'll be coming home to some good cash to help support my carrier to get some new commodities in stock. When I breaked from mining, I tried to help out the galactic mapping project by scanning the nearby areas not yet logged and submitting them so others can know what exactly whats in the North America Nebula.What I'm most proud of tonight though is my field research, which for the first time I can say I did. I spent my night recording the audio from the several different species of biological you can find by the bubble. I did the space pumpkins (though I wish to return there soon for better data), brain trees, and the bark molds. Each plant gave off very unusual tones, strange enough that I want to go back and study them probably all again to clarify what I heard. It felt great to be able to do this, and even if its such a small and probably insignificant thing I really enjoyed every minute of my research.
Luckily the Farpoint big enough to have dark rooms, because I've pushed my hours researching and are going to pass out on board. I'm right now docked on a moon in the Kappa-1 Volantis system, which is where I was studying the brain trees.
