Previous Week:Rain-Vein Floating-Root Seedbank
Rain-Vein Floating-Root Seedbank is the latest complete five-day route in K's Hunting Log.
01 09.10Low Risk
Rain at East Rain-Gate Root-Filter Bay did not fall straight down. Wind pressed it into diagonal lines along the floating levees. Fang and I descended to the edge of the root raft. Before the pumps made a sound, the Rainfold Sail Mussels folded away their broad shell lips together. Fang kept her distance, lowered a salinity probe into the outer water layer, and had me shut down active sonar. If the shells closed before the vibration, she said, they were sensing something other than sound.

Rain pressure, root-raft height, and the old sensor readings were all changing at First Floating Seed Raft. A family of Floating-Seed Quill Porcupines carried floating seeds on broad, barbless quill tips, yet avoided the sections broken apart by reverse flow. Fang separated the quill-borne seeds, broad-toed tracks, and cache locations into repeatable evidence. I remained outside, marking load points, waterlines, and our retreat route. Every active weapon stayed stowed.

Rain pressure, root-raft height, and the old sensor readings were all changing at Flower-Nose Rainforest Window. Monsoon Flower-Nosed Flying Foxes glided low through the break in the rain. Their pale leaf-shaped nose pads found floral scent, and their long chest fur carried pollen, yet the entire group turned away from the stilted seed vault. Fang set a thin sampling film beneath the route to catch only pollen that fell on its own. I stayed low at the tower footing and listened with passive instruments. The detour was not disorder. It was a reading.
