Great article, loved the description and containment protocols. I really love sea-dwelling RPCs.
On the Partial Specimen Recovery log, I found some stuff that needs corrections:
1- Instead of octopi you should use octopus, since you would be referring to a single specimen.
2- While stinger cells is an acceptable term, I think it would lend itself more to scientific accuracy by referring to them as "cnidocytes" with a footnote specifying it as "stinger cells".
3- Orthoceras ssp would be more acceptable in this context.
4- Remember to start each footnote with a capital letter so it doesn't look sloppy.
That is all I can spot, great article. Loved it.
