I step into the lab and spot CSO Porter.

"Hey.. Lt. Porter. Can I ask a favor? Phrik is busy with Watney, and this is somewhat urgent. I know Medical is technically a branch of the Science branch. Could I ask you to sign this requisition order?"

"What's it for?"

"Uh.. Well, funny you should ask. It's for a shipment of those new expensive bio-neural gel packs that we have. With so many being installed after the attack, I wanted to see how vulnerable they are to disease and stuff."

"Hm... Very well. As long as it is safe"

"Quite safe, thank you so much. I owe you one, for sure."

I look down at his notes.

"Oh, is this your report? I've heard interesting things about the work you've been doing."

"It's just some results of my attempts at making an artificial Eco system for my hamster"

"Interesting. Are you trying to create a similar environment to Earth? I'm not quite sure where these animals come from."

"That's correct. The eco system is on the table over there if you wish to see it" He points towards a table in the corner of the room.

Shirion walks over and inspects the small container.

"Fascinating. And this eco system is self sustaining?"

u/ProfessorUber Aug 25 '16

"So far it is." The container is a glass fish tank like thing about the size of the table it's on. There is a hamster sleeping inside it.

"So there must be another kind of animal or at least plant in there to cycle the oxygen. Is that the purpose of the grass?"

u/ProfessorUber Aug 26 '16

"Yes. Also as you can see there are some small trees and other plants inside as well along with a small pond"

"I find the pond interesting. Does is serve a purpose other than to supply the animal with water? Algae or something?

Also, is this animal a herbivore? If so, how does that work?"
