Jungle Expedition: Survey
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by NeonSlushieThe completion of Tidix Station opened up access to areas of space not yet explored by Aluriza and large-scale surveying could begin. This was initially done via exploratory probes collecting a broad range of investigational data, which was then analyzed to create higher-resolution mapping as well locate points of interest for further expeditionary operations.
The planet of Kiah was rediscovered in this new area of space; once a verdant and lush world with a vast rainforest covering the majority of its surface, it now bears the scars of Blight occupation with large swaths of the ecosystem extracted. While the forests have done much to adapt and try to regrow, unfortunately the data gathered on its current condition indicates that it is on the verge of cascade collapse of the planetary ecosystem. It is believed that the biosphere of Kiah can be stabilized and allowed to naturally recover as long as the right approach is taken.
While most ecological projects can be maintained by automated systems and expert observers, this one is at such a scale that additional volunteers are needed. Thus, the Alurizian Civil Service has put out the call for this undertaking; citizens with relevant skills, or even just a desire to help, can apply to assist.
The ACS has outlined the objectives as such:
"A massive ecological project has been launched to evaluate and hopefully reverse the damage to the biologically diverse world of Kiah. Beginning with in-depth data collection, analysis/creation of an actionable plan, reparation of biological systems (directed terraforming begins, with strategic reforestation, introduction of original organisms, possible restoration of extinct species), and finally construction of long-term monitor systems to ensure healthy recovery.
If this is a task that fits your interest and skills, your help is always needed!"
One of the chief imports to Alurizan society is knowledge. With it comes innovation, but culturally and scientifically, it is the equitable foundation on which to build a healthy society. This knowledge comes from both within, in the form of laboratory and practical sciences, but also from the outside in the form of expeditions. Whether by probe or manned surveys, the Aluriza continues to expand their knowledge and help where they can, such as with Project XERO.
After the success of implementing respite points, colloquially known as Rest Stations, there has been much interest in manned missions from the public. This has led to an abundance of funding for ARC’s Expeditionary Service, which in turn has opened new opportunities for those who qualify. One such is exploring the depths of the lush foliage jungles of Kiah.
Damaged by the Blight, the ES has tasked its volunteers to record key signs of a resurgence of life in the biosphere. Long-distance probes have captured information about this region's weather, atmosphere, relative humidity, and temperature. However, ES would like to catalog the various flora and fauna as well as collect samples which requires on-foot missions to trek through uncharted territory. This will form a baseline snapshot of the jungles' ecosystem so its recovery can be carefully monitored, ensuring the survival of its undoubtedly fascinating life.
If you are up to the task of assisting the ES in their ecological survey and have passed our entrance test, you may sign on to be properly briefed and outfitted with the best technology to help you conduct your survey!
🌴 🍃 🌳 🌺 🌴 🍃 🌳
Your job on this gorgeous planet is to catalogue a plant or an animal you find in this sweltering climate! This can be done by drawing it out or writing about it!
It’s important for any new discovery to think: How does this creature or plant thrive in this environment? What are some features it had evolved for it to survive? Does it live up in the hot tree tops or closer to the cool ground?
Capture your animal or plant and give me a full report by THURSDAY MAY 5TH AT 11:59PM EST! Plenty of time to study your flora or fauna of choice!
All entries, regardless of idea or skill level, receive the following rewards for participating:
★ A raffle entry for a Free Xero!
★ 20 Prestige
★ 1 Astatine
★ 1 Jungle ORB, which contains 1 of 3 different species of jungle life for you to Index, exclusive to this event!
Get working, everyone! This jungle will not survey itself! More details in our report HERE: https://projectxero.org/prompts/prompts?name=Jungle
