So the big thing I found it that their chuubanite has an affinity for plant life. I mean, fucking duh, right? But it's confirmed now, I planted my tester nails into the dirt, a beetle I grabbed, some sand, water, a tree, grass, an apple, and the flora is definitely where it accumulates, but there's also plenty of it everywhere. We're still quite far out near the edges of the forest, apparently the concentrations ramp up quickly as you go deeper, similar to the Underworld's chuubanitic gradient. I think we'll probably end up going a bit deeper before we leave, but Sapling chuubanite reportedly acts a lot quicker than ours, almost impossibly so. The psychoactive effects are very light compared to Mori-type chuubanite, but the physiological effects are pronounced. We've been wearing our Death Masks constantly, and the Hoomans gave use lead amulets that are helping too. We expected this, so we packed low-con Masks for this mission, and I think they're helping, but based on the measurements I'm getting, they'd probably get overwhelmed if we went too far into the forest.

Ahh I'm rambling, anyway what I was saying is that the Sapling process seems too quick to be only the body responding to the chuubanite, like with us Deadbeats. It's more like, the chuubanite changes something in the body, do you know what I mean? And it's a huge change too. Those saplings, they're not just looking like plants, as far as I can tell that's genuine chloroplasts in their leaves, I grabbed one that fell from one of their antlers and put it in my herbarium, I'll have to look at it under the Academy's microscope once I'm back, or maybe I can use one from a Hooman university. So, that's kinda crazy, right? A whole-ass different life kingdom. It's kind of the ultimate denial-of-area defense, unless someone built a fully chuubanite-proof suit, and I don't see how to do that without a solid shell of gold all over yourself, or something ridiculous like that. The good thing is that it's a localized phenomenon, so I don't think they can weaponize it. And I don't think they'd want to! Those saplings have been quite nice so far. I'm just hoping that sexy Risuner bitch doesn't test them too hard.

The other thing I wanna do is quantify how much growth assistance this local chuubanite provides. Risuner chuubanite is pretty powerful in that regard. I'm a bit scared of cutting any trees, wouldn't wanna chop off someone's dad, but the Hoomans told me cutting down tree is done occasionnally, so I'm hoping I can find some stumps like that to establish tree-ring number to trunk diameter trends, I've got all my results from my research in the Risuner lands so I'll be able to make direct comparisons.

Sooo yeah, you can't really send me a message where I am, but if you send any letters to Captain Gustus through the Hooman Republic's Moriji embassy, I'll be able to read them when I get back! Well, that's if Hamdani doesn't get us in trouble I can't get us out of.

Lots of love sis, I miss you a ton!
