Project Black Ocean - Mission Three
Mission Criteria: Analysis ; Development ; Production ; Seizure ; Delivery
Brief - Using the material provided, take a small crew of lab workers and supplies to Omicron Alpha to study in-full the creation of liquid cardimine. Use what is necessary and available to complete the assignment.

We've spent hours advertising on open short range communication for any lead on liquid cardimine. I've come to believe the Outcasts heed nothing more than their own.
Using spare cardi in from the hold we've begun to put it under severe pressure using 'pressure cookers'. Cardimine takes on a dull orange tint under severe pressures, once released the cardimine is in a dense form, nearly a rock after hours of exposure to pressurized air. Atmospheric re-entry oddly returns it to a powdered form, we can't gather what it means but speculation among the team points to the ozone cooking the hull as we enter. Further study is needed, we will be capturing the ozone in specialized tanks to test several theories but I'm not expecting much yield from it.

Pressurized cardimine is proving hard to consume and process, the prisoners that have been subjugated to the tests are nearly immune to the outside world and immediately retreat into themselves, death takes effect an hour after consumption of this 'rock cardi' we are abandoning this lead on the grounds it makes a human catatonic.
The ozone captured in the tanks is of minor interest, it bears a small amount of moisture and diagnostics reveal it holds molecules of cardimine suspended in a non responsive shell of proteins. We have attempted to break this protein barrier but have yielded no results. We will store this 'air cardi' for later study in a larger lab.
The Outcasts appear to tire of our presence and we have moved to the large green nebula of alien organisms beyond the planets and the Hispania wreck.
Using a spare ozone tank on a recommendation from a fellow Hacker we have begun to apply pressure to the organisms in varying masses inside the cooker. Upon injecting powdered cardimine the green organisms emit a deep blue tinting as the mass converts entirely to a dull orange rust color.

Using a combination of ozone, nebula gas, pressure, and rapid cooling is yielding exciting results. This gaseous state of cardimine is currently being tested on captured bounty hunter pilots and the results are unstable.
Subjects display severe aggression in the beginning and from there it is probably based on temperament, of course BHG pilots are former criminals. We are attempting to purify the nebula gas with some success.

This purified gas is of considerable interest, in its cleaned state a subject can easily over-dose but in small shots it gives a rapid euphoric state that temporarily will stop pain. We have acquired more test subjects as well.
The lab technicians are reporting that by adding H20 they are able to force the gaseous cardimine into a liquid state, though only temporarily. We are fine tuning the equations to hopefully create a stable mix that will last longer.

With a careful mix of pressure, water, ozone, and nebula we are able to create a liquid cardimine. The crew is ecstatic, the test subjects are in a constant euphoric state of a rust colored cloud as we continue to refine this process. The orbit around our vessel is clogged with BHG pilots we have been forced to eject, I watch them impact the hull as they float about and die. I am glad to be a Hacker and not a BHG pilot.

We have run out of ozone and nebula, one of the lab techs tested the most refined liquid cardimine we have made yet. We are openly letting the cardi stand in a bowl on the ship watching it. It is fragile to be sure, with a sudden jolt it will return to a gaseous state. We have injected the liquid cardi under pressure into small personnel tanks that can be hidden on a person with ease. After hours of remaining stable the liquid cardimine will enter a 'stable' state, using specialized nozzles injection will not be fatal to the user; I pity the soul that suffers an explosive pressure blow out to the veins death would be inevitable.

We are sending this rather lengthy transmission packet back, I would consider the Operation concluded based on the equipment taken with me, proper scientists can take it from here based on what we've achieved. Breaking down the equation it is rather lengthy but almost childish in nature, if we had the power I'm sure we would find Malta to be the last residenses of this interstellar body used this world like a giant pharmasuitical planet. Though something tells me we will never have the full story in that regard.
We've discharged the BHG pilots that remained to the Outcasts, they are nearly catatonic due to exposure of such large quantities of "liqiud cardimine"; though the Outcasts appeared to not care and dragged them off to their deaths.
Hydrogen+Oxygen+Purified[Nebula gas of Omicron Alpha]+Cardimine+Psi956=HONgCm
Make no mistake we have made a liquid cardimine but it is imperfect in many regards and deadlier than its powdered brother.
Using the freed cargo space, we have loaded down with as much cardimine we can carry and are returning to Mactan.
