The Doctor also took note of something abnormal in the process: small organisms similar to maggots feeding on the oldest bodies, except these maggots were approximately the size of a human finger.With Jael watching his back, the Doc reviewed the human corpses, according to his analysis a group was dead from what appears to be a cut in areas of adomen, and with large parts of flesh removed through bites this appears to be moderately fresh , perhaps 2 years compared to the most decomposed ones that seem to have been almost decades, there is not much that can be saved due to the putrification caused by being in an environment like this. The only thing he could obtain is that those who died much earlier did so from oxygen overdose.
About the creature that can be said, it was something that had never been seen before. Its prethoracic trunk supports multiple offensive limbs covered in chitin, but its most formidable biological weaponry resides in the tips of its fingers, apparently having a gun-like nature. of the ancient animal of the mother planet Earth known as Alpheidae, if it were not for the decomposition, he would be facing a great work of evolution or perhaps biological engineering, armed with his own body to kill, he was somewhat fresh, probably 1 week.
This reminded him that giant insects roamed the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago and the leading theory for the phenomenon was that it was a byproduct of the surplus of oxygen in Terra's atmosphere which matched up with the current situation. He assumed that the insects on Mondas must have experienced the same thing.
They used to be normal, but then something happened that caused the air to have twice its original quantity of oxygen and these organisms rapidly developed to adjust to the new environment while most of the other species either perished or became their new food source.
His speculation was confirmed by Roxanne's report.
"I saw this coming. Microorganisms seem to be affected too if the ones that attacked our ship earlier didn't make it obvious already. These remains would decay at a faster rate due to increased bacterial activity which means they're likely much more recent than they appear. In other words, the individual who killed this entity might still be alive. Tosho, can you give the recording a watch while I perform a procedure? I think we're getting close to figuring out what's going on.", he posted in the chat before turning his attention back to the corpse of the unidentified creature. Using some surgical tools he had on him, he began extracting the bullet from the wound on its head."Well aint this really nice...."
Says after watching the recording, then informa her team in the chat
"I found a recording of over a decade ago, this planet went to hell from the oxygen increase, bugs and arachnids grew in size to a point we can be breakfast, lunch and dinner to them, i will transfer it into the chat, Chrome (@Backbackback ) you might wanna have a look at it, same to you Doc (@AThe1412 ), both of you might wanna better analyze it over with the info handed here"
