To their immense relief, almost all of the animals had survived not only radiation free, but totally unharmed. Of course there were a few causalities. They had prepaired for that and had cross samples to hopefully prevent a species die off. When she discovered that one particular species had died off, Sari couldn't stop the tears that silently fell. The Canine Lupus, or Grey Wolf, had been contaminated and all zygotes had to be destroyed. How ironic, the very creature that started her quest to find a new life, that gave her a new life and new hope, would never see the new world. All of it's DNA had been destroyed. Other creatures had been exposed as well. The Klaxian ldor bear, a gentle soothing creature the size of the palm of one's hand also was contaminated beyond survival. There were a few others, mostly animals that were sentient and yet nonfood. The only food animal that was destroyed was the earth's domestic turkey. <br/>Out of the 7,532 species aboard ship, they were to land and disembark 7, 428 species.   A higher than projected success rate. Sari nodded her head, satisfied.</span><br/><br/>Snapping off her gloves, she gathered the Vetrenary team.  "Well done everyone.  You did an amazing job getting the information quickly and thoroughly.  We have suffered minimal loss, and those that we have are posted on  the Q Board.  Please take a 45 minute repast and report back to start zygote checking."<br/>Aura dialed in a message for the captain and Admiral.  Transmit:  From Aura Minal  code110872 Animal Labs:  Minimal radiation damage in Animal labs, 104 species lost,  22 Amphibians (http://amphibian/), 25Arthropods (http://arthropod/), 13 Birds (http://bird/), 24 Mammals (http://mammal/) ,20Reptiles (http://reptile/).  We are at a .99 success rate to start.  10% better than estimated.  A complete list of which animals were contaminated will be posted in the Animal labs.   Said list will be sent for your perusal with a hard copy of this report.  Most serious losses, Earth, domestic turkey;  Mindori, brute Ox; Kalaxi; flute bird; Earth, monarch butterfly. End transmission   Aura grabbed a quick power drink  and fruit package from the food processor and with her head down and deep in thought, walked to her desk to finish writing her reports.
