Lieutenant Eido's personal log, Stardate 67537.9.

My preperations for joining the Galileo are complete. Tomorrow, we're to be given our orders and ship out.

I was unable to complete even a partial success on the transfer of Andorian wildlife to the fictional Andoria XI. Despite the planet composition being almost completely identical to Andoria itself, the ecosystem was unable to deal with large scale biological introduction.

There will be less computer power aboard the Galileo, so I suspect that any of my grand experiments will need to wait until I return to a starbase or another Federation planet.

Despite the naysayers, I still firmly believe that this process can be perfected. Traditional terraforming is too slow, to expand colonies faster, we need the biosphere to be as stable as the atmosphere. Waiting 50 years for plants to grow, then starting to introduce animals is far too slow. Even the first of the planets terraformed by the Federation are only just starting to reach stable biosphere levels.

No, it needs to be faster. Unfortunately, my colleagues are far too preoccupied by the similarity in my ideas to Marcus' work. The notion is positively ridiculous. Jameson refuses to even read my thesis proof, adamant that the idea of bioseeding is 'reckless and dangerous'.

The Genesis Device was flawed. It tried to do far too much and Marcus and her team had little idea what they were doing. Converting a planet? Far fetched. The acceleration of growth has some merit, but protomatter is dangerous and restricted. Hopefully, the Galileo will help me collect more data for my simulations, and we can circumvent the entire matter altogether.

I still believe that a simple biosphere seed algorithm is the way to go.
