Hey Emma,

Is there any way that she'd go about finding a contact from Antarctica? A majority of those who went on the expedition died in the earthquake, and others might not be so forthcoming due to a lot of the leaks that came out following the expedition that tanked their careers. For now, she's going to have to take the Riverstone information she gets with a grain of salt. However, since she's interested in joining the Department of Wildlife Protection and Services, she'll have more resources to run these for herself soon! You can say that she'll have that job within the next week, if that's something she'd be interested in.

Remy will run these tests for her, but when he gives her the results, he'll mention something offhand about how senior management had to clear the tests since they were so date-specific and resource intensive. He'll ask her how she knows what samples should be compared by what date, since it seems to have piqued the interest of senior management. Riverstone will be pivoting some of their research around Jyn's questions, and it will accelerate their research department. He has his own suspicions in this regard, but he'll be curious about her answer.

For the first round of questions:

1. The creatures currently are not degrading, but evolving quickly.
2. There is not a unique indicator, no.
3. No, there is not.
4. There also is not! However, Remy will say that the plants have an extraordinary ability to turn specific gene markers on and off according to the hazards that they come in contact with in their direct environment (lack of water, sunlight, etc).
5. This one is interesting, since Remy will note that they didn't even think of those different avenues during their own research. There's no immune reaction, but there is the post-effect of certain neurotransmitter responses.

To make it clear, there are now only two kinds of samples that Jyn will be able to get ahold of. Those would be 1) the current animals populating New Amsterdam and outside the wall, which would include any animals in Antarctica, or at any of the other gates, and 2) Johann Grey's abominations. That said, she wouldn't be able to collect samples from prior events unless she has a source of collecting them. She'd be able to nab them, but she'd have to be very careful getting them into the city according to New Amsterdam's current laws. If she did this under the guise of her new job, that would be easier, but it would take a little bit before she'd be able to do it! We're giving it two IC weeks (a month OOC) for her to collect those samples. Keep in mind that some of her colleagues would be suspicious if she was able to utilize the gates to get these samples more quickly.

Let us know how you'd like to follow up! Thanks!
