Bioluminiscent Anemones
18 Jul 2020Snowl
This is the first report of the ABR laboratory's expedition to search for and study extraterrestrial life forms. During this expedition, the structure of various vacuum live forms, their life activity, as well as their habitats were studied. Samples were taken for analysis in the field laboratory, and the rest were taken to Canonn's laboratory. This expedition was of a reconnaissance nature and was carried out by the only research vessel Atlas. The main target was OVOMLY area in the Vulkan Gate sector. The largest species diversity of vacuum living forms was found here. This report will focus on anemones. The following species have been investigated: Roseum Bioluminescent Anemone, Prasium Bioluminescent Anemone and Rubeum Bioluminiscent Anemones. Bioluminiscent Anemones

Anemones live on non-atmospheric moons with close to earth's gravity. The most likely systems to be found with stars of type A, B or O. Several species of anemones were found that differ mainly in color, but all of them showed a strongly pronounced bioluminescence [1]. The glow resembles that of marine invertebrates animals and has a pulsating character, smoothly passing through the entire body. It is probably related to metabolic processes. In addition, organisms that differ from the majority were found in all populations. They are smaller and pear-shaped. Other differences were not found, so it was hypothesized that these are early stages of development of anemones.
[1] There are anemones that do not have bioluminescence, but they were not studied during our expedition.

The body of the anemone is divided into many segments delimited by vertical seals running along its entire length. There are also less noticeable horizontal lines at a short distance from each other. Each segment has a set of small rounded holes inside from which the glow comes. In the upper part of the anemone there is an opening marked by several rows of rounded depressions. The hole allows the anemone to remove waste products and unnecessary substances.
Several samples of secretions from two different planets were studied. Planets have a different composition of the crust. The first sample taken on the planet HegoeaTD-T E3-5 5 showed a high content of technetium trioxifluoride TcO3F, the second, from the planet Fojaae EF-A E1 3, contains ruthenium and nitric acid salt crystals Ru(NO3)3, and the third, from the planet Hegoea TD-T E3-5 1, contains yttrium dicarbide YC2. Curiously, both samples were radioactive. Could it be evidence that anemones use radiocative compounds for nutrition and energy production?

At the base on the surface there are root-like processes. It seems that anemones have a deep root system that allows them to feed. These roots are able to collect large amounts of matter. Further analysis of the samples is required to determine the root depth. Around each anemone in a small radius the soil is slightly darker and slightly sunken.

There was not much information obtained about reproduction, but judging by the composition of the hypothesis put forward that the seeds have a dense and resistant to high temperatures shell. Seeds might be thrown out by an explosive chemical reaction, and the protective shell prevents seed destruction.

Several types of formations were found on the surface of anemones:
- Cordycep growth - is a parasitic life form that consists of several long outgrowth protruding from the host's body. The appendages have an extremely strong and solid structure due to the high content of metals, especially iron.
- Polyporus growth - mushroom-like growths that form a symbiotic relationship with the anemone. The analysis showed that the growths contain various toxic compounds, as well as d-elements with weak metallic properties.

Notes:
The study of these organisms revealed a number of interesting features that are promising for further research. There are also other types not covered in this report. The main question is the origin of these forms of life. How did extremely similar species appear in such remote parts of the galaxy? It is very likely that they were planted artificially. More research is needed on this issue.
I would also like to express my special thanks to CMDR Darwin for his help with this logbook.
