Science/Language Arts Week 13: Planet X Part 1

Planet X part 1: Expedition

Due to the fact that many different kinds of aliens have been found in the last decade, (see documents Blue Moon, Aurelia, Bridghidetta, Darwin II, and Darwin I) scientists have decided to bring some back to Earth.
All other planets have too specialized animals to survive on earth. But there is one “dead” planet that had rugged, nimble life that could survive nearly anything…

Planet X, a now barren, desolate planet that (much like mars!) used to have liquid water and LIFE on its surface.

It (the process of the whole planet being turned into a desert) all happened in 2,000 years, merely 5 seconds in the microwave. It happened so shortly ago, that the [nearly] fossilized animals’ DNA has been preserved.

Scientists’ plan is to find fossils, put them together, and extract the DNA (i.e., from some hair/feathers, tissue, etc.). To accomplish this, scientists have built the px5 DNA Lab.

Many paleontologists were hired (including me!) to dig up fossils and “DNA them”.

After a lot of digging, I was spent. But I checked the map [below], and found more to do! I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. [One of my colleagues fossil-hunting with a sonar gun]

Finally, we had enough fossils! I ran to the px5 DNA Lab as fast as I could.


After the animal had been cloned, and was in the crate, I got that special feeling of accomplishment inside…
