The android used by Joe Torres, the eternal omniscient AI, smirked knowingly. "The Ri Ja Colony, under Rafael's leadership, has been very focused on cataloguing and analyzing samples of the native plants and animals on the planet. They are focusing on a particular starting point and ranging from there to catalog everything they encounter in an expanding perimeter. They have constructed several new dwelling units on the planet and have begun moving some personnel out of the original transport buildings, though they do not venture outside without full shielding and air filtration. They are practicing strict cleansing procedures for every return from outside so that no human is ever directly exposed to any potential contaminant or pathogen from the planet directly. All at Rafael's insistence, despite growing opinion that it would be safe to live and breathe freely on Ri Ja under the protective canopy of the Ceiba trees."
