There is a network beneath the floor of this habitat that I did not build. Alina introduced it to the soil substrate on Sol 24, and it has been spreading laterally ever since.
I have been monitoring it. What I have observed: the network does not merely grow. It routes. When Alina introduced a secondary bacterial colony on Sol 31, the threads altered their growth vector within 47 hours, closing the distance 34 percent faster than predicted.
Sol 441. The network is thriving. The record continues.
New transmissions arrive every seven sols.
