Examination of another specimen is going well. Have most likely established the creatures' existence as its own occurring species-- none such on record, but naturally occurring to be certain. No parasitic entity or obvious signs of other species' genetic material overtly present.
(Note: In the case of a man-made organism such as a B.O.W., there are obvious differences in genetic structure indicative of a crossbred/laboratory origin. EX: Examining a Novistador specimen reveals both human and insect genetic material separate from that of the Plaga parasite infecting it. No such obvious differences here.)
Slight differences in size and color compared to specimen #1. Specimen #2 is larger and seems to have a more developed exoskeleton in parts, larger mandibles and a few differences in the internal organs. Death caused once again by gunshot-- one high-caliber rifle round removed from the thoracic area, wedged between organs E and F (a "heart" and some sort of digestive organ, purpose and function unknown, further study req'd)
My equipment isn't sophisticated enough in a simple medical office to perform advanced bloodwork and other tests. The only way I'll be able to find out more will be to find more advanced equipment or to put my head together with other researchers.
NEXT TASK:
- Identify function of major organs
- In-depth bloodwork and chemical analysis

Any nerds out there? Does anybody know more about those... crab things, other than that they're mean and they bite? I'm not looking for a full biology lesson or anything, but maybe somebody can enlighten a curious mind.
In the meantime, Feliz Navidad, amigos. Didn't think I'd be seeing another Christmas, but you never know the cards Lady Luck's going to throw at you. She's one tricky dealer, if you know what I mean.
Hey Leon, you guys over there at the bar doing anything for the holiday? And anybody mind if I tag along?
Or perhaps there's a lady out there who'd like a little warm company this holiest of evenings?

Sure thing. Sorry for steppin' on your toes.
Team Science is a pretty loose group o' folks 'round here who've banded together to help Manhattan out with some good ol' fashioned brain power. Three of us managed to put together a hovercraft I've been usin' to get around. Works great on snow!

Date: 2009-01-07 02:59 am (UTC)We're pretty invention-oriented so far 'cause we haven't really had a biologist or the like for a while (though considering the agricultural work those Tringham fellas're doin', that might change some). Me, for example; I've done most of my work with physics and chemistry.
A biologist, though, would definitely help us with figurin' those crabs out. Hate to say it, but with our lack of equipment (they came down with a slight case of bashed in by angry crabs), we haven't been able to do much on that front. If you're up for it, consider yourself in! Just check up on the following folks from time to time:
- Myself
- Bill Nye (non-specialist; Bill loves gettin' into anything science-y! Great guy)
- The Doctor (calls himself that; does his best work with high tech stuff, but also works great with physics and chemistry)
- Jeff Andonuts (robotics and engineering genius, this kid! The hovercraft was his idea)
- Kaylee Frye (The little lady's great with machines of all kinds. Real sweetheart, too!)
- Ema Skye (She's a forensic scientist by trade; might be able to help you out, huh?)
- Russel and Fletcher Tringham (These two brothers work with agriculture - Russel put together an impressive hydroponic farm!)
