A supremely boring post made, but it is late AF and I wanted to get things squared away before I write something actually interesting tomorrow. People near me, if they want to be discovered by the Exploration Fleet, should let me know, and we can get our collaborate on.

With some effort I may even convert the Bitumens' smell-communication to intelligible human words.
