TAPS S.E. Disclosure - The Pink Desert

TAPS S.E. Disclosure - The Pink Desert

I got permission from Fourcast to disclose some of my experiences with TAPS, so here's some art I made after an S.E. (sleeping episode)! I lovingly call it the Pink Desert (for obvious reasons) - last time I checked 4CL hasn't been able to pin down when/where this is, so the Pink Desert will have to do. Being able to document and communicate what I experience during a TAPS episode is vital not only for my work at the Lab, but for other 4CL branches as well. I'm not the best at drawing or painting or anything like that, so I usually go with making collages that are as close to what I witnessed as I can get them, paired with some note-taking to get down as many details as possible. Some fun note excerpts from this S.E. are:

"-Despite the desert-like appearance of surroundings, climate was cold and dry with consistent, blustering winds" "-Probable that fine-particle terrain underfoot is garnet (or a similar mineral) that has been weathered by environmental factors - large deposits of garnet were seen scattered across the landscape, some with visibly scratched or otherwise eroded facades" "-Coloration of the atmosphere would suggest high chlorine gas content, yet wavering patterns like Earth's aurora borealis were also observed, which indicate electrons interacting with an oxygen-rich upper atmosphere. Chlorine is a poor conductor of heat and electricity; atmospheric content remain uncertain"

It's probably clear that Fourcast didn't hire me for my stellar environmental sciences knowledge (lmao), but even my rough guestimates can help the actual environmental science Fourcasters figure out what's going on. But yeah! First disclosure from my personal vault :). Overall it was a pretty calm episode, despite being a bit cold and waking up with a really dry mouth. Never know what you're gonna get with TAPS, thankfully this time around it was a beautiful, mysterious, pink desert.

Always open to answering any questions about my life with TAPS, feel free to drop a message in the ask box! The images I used to make this collage were sourced from Pinterest - the particular images I used can be found here!
