I've made some relevant updates to the bestiary now that we're on a planet with local fauna.

[So here's an attachment with the updated version!]

At the moment, I've only heard tell of the mammoth things roaming around out there. All current notes are either based on secondhand accounts or pictures that have been sent to me. I'd like some real specimens to take a look at, if anyone's game.

Apparently there's other critters too, though they seem to be rare as I haven't encountered any myself. If anyone runs into anything alive on this planet, let me know and I'll add it.

Thanks.

[Newt's reclined in his desk chair with his feet propped up on his workstation, and he almost topples over when suddenly Semiyon barges in.]

Oh my god, dude, you are like way too sneaky considering how ancient you are.

[He says it with love, mostly.]

If you mean the salamanders, they're fine. See?

[He swivels just enough to slip his boot under a sheet he has draped over his dissection table, as it's inactive for the time being. He pulls it up to reveal the salamanders snoozing peacefully in their portable carrier. Mutavore the ibisnake uncoils at the influx of light and chirps at the men.]

We've got heat, if you haven't noticed.

[He waves a hand at the little rig Alphys has set up near her desk.]

[A bemused look]

I will choose to take that as a compliment, Newton

[Though something in his tone may suggest he's adding that comment to a mental archive to withdraw from later]

Will it be enough for them? What about their food?

[completelycrazy]

Well, it's not not a compliment.

[Big shrug.]

Uh, not sure, but the salamanders can hibernate if it gets too cold. I'm more worried about Mutavore.

[The salamanders had already shown signs of hibernation before he removed them from the house, but the ibisnake? She's not a species he's familiar with. Hell, he's not even sure she is a species. She came in with all those spliced Door creatures, so who knows? She might be more capable of thermoregulation than he realizes.]

There's plenty of fish at home. They were in the freezer, but I moved 'em to a box outside since the electricity's out.
