She nodded. "It is so amazing that a plant could make her float… imagine what they'll think back on Earth when they get news of it!"

"Oh right, we've got that blog that Eduard runs and Elsie has her Instagram. Of course, we'd contact the space center first, hmm?"

"That is exactly what I meant!" she exclaimed. "Space center first. Our social mediators will understand." And directly after that, my L'éducation Spatiale page. But the space center first.

"Alright, the computer's analyzing the root's composition now..." Joan said eagerly.

Reve bounced up and down in her chair. "I cannot wait to see these results!"

"I know! Me neither!" Slowly, the holographic computer monitor showed results for the chemical make-up, mass, and volume for the root sample. "Hmm...I think there's an option to get the whole genome... I'll have to poke around a bit. Hold on..."

She nodded, still staring exuberantly at the screen.

Joan typed furiously, opening up various other files until she found the program. "Here we go! I think it'll take a little while to map the whole thing, but that's reasonable."

"I know! And I'm so glad it does!" she said as the program analyzed the root's genetic material. "This opens up opportunities for so many more tests!"

"Like the seeds and the leaves and the flowers… and we don't have to wait for the livestock to take some bites to motivate us. Will this machine be able to test for effects it may have?"

What if they're foreign chemicals? "Fair enough." She typed feverishly for a minute.

"I know what you're thinking," Joan laughed. "If you think about it, the same elements occur throughout the universe, no matter where you are. And those various elements join together and make chemicals. I don't think it'll be too hard. What'll be difficult is if the plants have foreign enzymes and protein structures," she groaned.

"Ah, but that is the fun part, my friend," she said absently, with a final tap to the device. "Wait, look, it's showing a few of the results!"

Joan watched the screen eagerly and the pattern of DNA rolled out before their eyes. "Wow...it really is quite similar to carrot..." she observed.

"Almost completely alike. This could mean any number of things! What if flora on Earth somehow came from here? What if it's related?"
