Planet Polybius - Microscopic life
Cutting-edge theories regarding Polybius’ microscopic life proposed by Dr Quark of Luxemburg University are revealing the origins of complex organisms on the planet. Exciting breakthroughs include the discovery of 'Asgard Archaea' as ancestors of complex life, the 'Obelisks' class of viroid-like entities, the existence of 'Mirror' bacteria, and the terrifying 'Predatory Protists'. Biologics Testing agency, Sartorius, strenuously reject these ideas as “pure science fantasy”!
Emeritus Heimdallr of Uppsala University proposes the Asgard Archaea virus is the missing link of the leap from simple celled organisms to complex structures - plants & animals on Polybius. Asgard Archaea are the ancestors of complex life, possessing proteins that allow for energy-efficient metabolisms. The first oxygen extracting life explains how they could thrive and eventually form the first complex cells. “Poppycock” says the Luminary scientific recruitment agency, "it’s just quantum microscopy, a manipulation of optical phenomena". Noting “if Heimdallr was any good, we would have hired him!!

A class of microscopic life-like entities on Polybius, named ‘obelisks’, has been discovered using vibration-assisted electron transfer claim Professors Goscinny & Uderzo from Paris University. They are smaller than viruses, possess RNA, and are ubiquitous in the planet’s life forms (Dryad and Naiades), suggesting they are a bridge between viruses and simple life. SEQ Biologic Services, full partners of the mission to Polybius, counter the total lack of paid for evidence from Goscinny & Uderzo and the lack of profit their discovery would provide.

Predatory Protists are Polybius’ supergroup of protists, named Provora, and have been identified during recent studies of samples sent back to earth claims Dr Kevin Hall, adding these are “highly specialized poracious predators that ruthlessly hunt and devour other microbes”. MCRA, biologics experts and mission partners, strongly reject Dr Hall’s evidence as “supposition and hearsay”.

Whilst it is believed to be very much hypothetical, scientists Cephissus, Narcissus and Liriope have investigated the possibility of "mirror life," organisms that use mirror-image (chiral) molecules. Such life would be invisible to our current immune systems and antibacterial tools, representing a potential new type of biological existence and warfare (noted a gleeful military advisor).
