Research Log Entry (Subject - Micro Survey Expedition): This was an attempt to determine the lower bounds of the spatial contraction module's capabilities... typical miniaturization exercises involve scales measured in millimeters, but I was feeling daring and wanted to see how low it could really go. After a few trials using inanimate objects and telemetry probes, when everything came back intact and fully functional, I decided to just take the plunge and just... see what this would be like.
For the sake of safety, I opted not to go atomic or subatomic without further study (at that point, physics starts getting a little weird, even by my standards), and 100 nanometers seemed like a reasonably round number to try.
All I can really say is "wow, I wish I was better at biology, because then all of this would probably make more sense." Made for a decidedly alien landscape (despite the fact that it was really the massively magnified surface of my bedspread... note to self, do laundry more often). No issues with breathing or movement, proof that the barrier of contracted space around me was doing it's job with the ambient atmosphere conditions. The local 'wildlife' didn't really pay much attention to me... either I'm unfamiliar enough to warrant steering clear of, or just appeared as inert particulate matter. Either way, I'm fine with that. A few sights reminiscent of high school textbooks, albeit in better detail.
I strolled around for the better part of an hour, took a few pictures, took some readings. Considered bringing back a souvenir or two, but decided against it... the last thing I need is baseball-sized viruses flopping around, and I DEFINITELY don't want to break off some seemingly innocent chunk of strata and find out later that I've been carting around an upsized sliver of one of my own skin flakes. Ew.
Might be worth a return trip at some point. Maybe even try a picnic in this 'nanoscape', though the presence of potentially edible biomatter might attract something more problematic than ants.
