Operation Dryad: "Jade becomes Crimson" | (part of the Yuma project)

Planet Yuma, Space Port II, Dock 5

It has been three years since the Crayterian R&D team participated in Project Demeter. After its failure right next to the end of it, all mass research on the flora of Yuma was halted, since resources were needed elsewhere. It's been too long, maybe, especially for Doctor Amanda Feathers who was then only an assistant for Xi de Mortis.
Now, in 822 A.S., it may all happen again - or it may be a new beginning for the Crayter Republic.

Madam Minister is patiently standing on the Dock's platform, awaiting the arrival of the inbound Cryer vessel. She's also in the company of a couple of military officers for escort. After just a few minutes, a shuttle lands with a team of 25 people; the few who exit first start moving towards the "welcoming committee".

"It is a pleasure to meet you and welcome you on the surface of Yuma!" - Dr. Feather's states with a high voice. "The Republic is grateful that you've come here to offer us aid."

In the lab, doctor Morgan Theris was already expecting a few fresh specimens to be brought in, while he had his hands full digging up all the old files, as well as sorting the latest data.
