((How realistic is G-modding?))
Look at the eyes gene. Both four eyes and infrared vision are very useful.
That is exactly what I want! I want to grow better eyes!
Well then, you prepare experimental gene modification to grow eyes with infrared vision. New bodyparts are grown in infirmary so you go there and prepare a mold for eyes using your own stem cells. Check them tomorrow to find out if got what you wanted.
Begin blood test. While tests are being run, look over the patient for any major blunt trauma or punctures in the skin. Check for any internal bleeding. If all results are within acceptable bounds, monitor Guni's condition until awakening.
You carry Guni into isolation room in infirmary and undress her down to her underwear, shredding her enviro-suit into pieces in process. One of the pros of being a doctor. Thought it hardly matters to you now since you are genuinely worried about her health. The operation table drains a bit of her blood and starts tests on it.
Inspection and scans reveals that she has big bruises developing on her both thighs and that is all internal bleeding you can find. Nothing to worry about, enviro-suits are really worth of their cost. Only other thing you can find is a small circular burn wound on back of her neck. Odd...
Results of her blood tests are in, and only difference to her normal state is slightly heightened white blood cell count. Though it is still within limits of normal variance. So nothing out of ordinary, it seems.
Study the wolf creature.
You get the corpse to labs and start studying it. Black canine type creature, fused leg bones, probably for fast running, very dense muscles making it look thin and weak but capable of producing unexpected amount of power and its flesh is producing toxic substances. Most interesting feature is spikes on its skin, kinda like hedgehog's, but far more sparse. They seem to be specialized hairs so it is able to raise them at will.
Also, female and mammal.
Get back in my flyer and head out to follow the radio signals again
"If anyone has some free time we should fly back the flyer that got left in the forrest. I'm following the radio signals again but I think I know that some predators are the source going to confirm.
Ship's sensors does no longer detect it but luckily you flyer still can. With assistance of communications officer you locate the radar source. It's in the forest, going away from the base, but thick tree foliage prevents you from seeing what actually causes it.
It's starting to get dark.
Look for alien saliva on Guni and steal it for science.
Hmm, looks like doctor Pendle has already ruined all evidence of it. In addition he's ogling Guni or maybe he's just perfoming medicine on her. It's hard to tell.
Grab the corpse and bug jar, then take blood samples from multiple locations.
If I see anything that moves, net the bastard, then capture it. Tranq if neccasary.
The corpse and bug jar are in trailer now, blood samples taken, thought blood is most likely already contaminated with whatever bacterias and viruses that habit the moss here.
Looking around and up you do see movement around, mostly just birds. You find this one bird pecking a tree like jackhammer. You would call it a woodpecker if not for few large differences. Firstly its colors, rusty red head, bill and tip of wings, light blue body and white tipped tailfeathers. Secondly it is very wide making it almost a ball, but much of that can be attributed to its buffed wings. Third difference is its large bulging eyes which take almost one third of its skull. First you think it might be result of disease or genetic mutation, but after spotting few other similar birds you realize it must be normal for them. Netting them is night impossible and few shots with tranqs miss them entirely.
It's starting to get dark.
Guni Debres: You wake up in infirmary in your undies, good doctor Pendle looking at you.
1: Cromwell Jackson, ATV and trailer
2: Mark Redtail in personal flyer
3: Guni's personal flyer
Black circle: Approximate source of radar signals only known to Mark and communications officer.
Currently we have following samples on ship:
* Springy grass (Partially studied)
* Soil samples (Studied) - Awaiting reaction from Geo teams.
* Seven corpses of large four eyed birds (Studied)
* Living aquatic creature in a water tank. (Barely studied)
* Corpse of black wolf-creature. (Studied)
Night arrives in end of next turn and new day with it so base your actions around it.
