The last survivors of species 6339 fled the delta quadrant after a borg assault seeking Asylum on the earth. We have discovered their vessel (compare to the inset) hidden in a culture dish containing rat alveolar epithelial cells (RLE-6TN) using the MFP-3D in Contact Mode. The height is 4.8µm and the lateral dimensions exceed the scan size of 60µm. Our guests may have found a hospitable home because RPMI medium was used to keep the cells alive.
