Pyro V - Preliminary Atmospheric Survey Heydan Seegil Independent Researcher New Babbage, Microtech, Stanton Abstract Unlike the other planets in the system of Pyro the gas giant of Pyro V has no surface making geological surveys impossible. Instead, atmospheric sampling is the only source of tangible study from the planet we can hope to obtain. Due to the remoteness of the Pyro system, the lack of economic value, and dangerous behavior of many of the system residents very little is known about the toxic green plums of Pyro V. This study seeks to take a deeper dive by explaining the coloration of the clouds, expounding on the planet's atmospheric pressure, and detailing other observations made about Pyro V. Keywords: geology, pyro, pyro v, pyro 5, pyro five Declarations This was a completely independent study paid for by the principal author Heydan Seegil. Introduction Pyro V [1] churns like a bubbling cauldron of green mist with spires of Barium Chlorate [2], sulfur, and pulverized copper floating through the atmosphere. What is below these green and yellow puffs? Few know and this may be due to the lack of atmospheric testing. The gas giant had little in the way of resources even when Pyro [3] was considered a mining system flush with resources. As such very few surveys have been done leaving the planet ripe for exploration. Enviromental Warnings The green and yellow clouds of Pyro V might look inviting, but they are far from it. Copper nanoparticles float freely through the air and while typically such a mixture is an antimicrobial with health benefits [4] the heavy levels of sulfur create a pungent smell which is neigh unbreathable on its own. However, the true toxin that makes the atmosphere of Pyro V unbreathable is the lethal combination of Barium Chlorate, an extremely flammable substance which produces billowing green and yellow clouds. At all times a breather is recommended even when those exposed to the atmosphere are on a secure platform. The atmosphere is thick and grows thicker as one approaches the "hard deck" or as close to the core of the planet one can possibly get within the limits of current technology. The hard deck was tested and 80km is the recommended lowest threshold of altitude for safe operation. A few km of variance to protect pilots was included in this range. Vessels operating at an altitude of 80km run the risk of structural damage from Pyro V atmospheric pressure with the lowest possible altitude being 77km at which point ships hulls begin to buckle resulting in imminent destruction. Observations The thick atmosphere of the planet reaches quite far into space as seen in Figures 1-2 at 300km of altitude turbulence in flight was already felt but flight speeds were consistently within safety parameters while at maximum throttle. By about 230km the speed of the craft began to drop off as atmospheric pressure increased and by 200km speeds began to noticeably slow. By 100km the ship was already beginning to strain against the atmosphere as indicated in Figure 3 and progress to a lower altitude began to require effort. At 77km the ship began to take damage and was nearly destroyed in the process. Sever damage required a return to port for repairs. Conclusion There may just be a reason to revisit Pyro V and new atmospheric mining operations to be conducted as the copper rich clouds of the gas giant could potentially yield a powerful antimicrobial agent that could be used in the field of healthcare. However, there are extreme engineering challenges which could make this potentially lucrative product difficult to obtain and produce such as the corrosive atmosphere along with crushing pressures of the planet. Caution is advised when exploring the gas giant and it is recommended to remain above at least 80km of altitude at all times.
