Challenge #04989-M240: Incorrect Theory in Practice

It's a beautiful evening, camping is going well. Nice fire, yummy food... now if only the mosquitoes weren't such a pain in the tail! Thank goodness for repellent! Need some? -- BKF

Challenge #03119-H210: Turn Beast

The world was a level 1 Deathworld, to humans, it was damn near a haven world. The storms that DID blow up were no where near the level that Earth could throw at them, and the few predators, although somewhat dangerous, were terrified of the smell of smoke, and therefore were kept well away.
