885 Risk It?

[The data stream is steady, I will now start issuing movement commands to the drone.] Nico informed the crew. 

If nothing went wrong, moving the probe back and forth, they would send another probe with a living organism through and make sure it was safe for life to travel. There hadn't been any indication of harm so far, but it was better to be safe than sorry when you were in the human test group. 

The probe maneuvered back smoothly and picked up a small collection of plants and creatures that the Terraforming Array could create alive. 

They carefully monitored them for changes to their behaviour and vital signs as they passed through the Portal, but much to their relief, nothing seemed to change. 

"Everything looks good from here. No signs of distress or hostility. No damage to the probe or anything on it." Nico said, looking at Max for permission to move on to the next step.
