Research Log Entry (Subject - Small-Aperture Interspatial Portal Test 7A): Successful test run today. Interspatial tunnel established to universe 7188875 with power consumption within acceptable limits. Tunnel proven to be stable as well with no interference or observed flux, so the adjustments made after test 5 and 6 seem to have corrected the issue.
Universe '875 has an exceptionally small K-factor of approximately 8x10^-9 (basically things, by default, are a lot smaller there than they are here), so that makes it ideal for testing the device's capabilities. I targeted a set of known spatial coordinates and quickly established the connection, with test planet 'Solus' (couldn't think of a proper name, and this sounded spacey enough) centered in the aperture. From there, it was a matter of activating a gravity tractor and drawing it through the portal. Fortunately, this planet is uninhabited (as far as I've been able to tell), so I don't think I've managed to completely wreck the development of some primitive culture.
Transiting the planet through the portal also brings with it an enshrouding layer of the ambient universe, meaning that, as far as anyone on the surface could tell, there would be no change anyway. This 'Corell Barrier' (yes, I named it after myself, go figure) also protects the planet from being instantly bombarded by ambient air molecules the size of bowling balls, and being blasted by all the light/warmth in the lab environment. The barrier can be tuned with the right adjustments, either letting anyone on the surface 'see' their current situation (though I'd avoid that because it's probably utterly terrifying) or allowing objects that pass through the barrier be instantly resized to match local conditions (though this is still tricky business, and it's usually easier to just channel a resizing portal onto the planetary surface and handle both the distance and scaling in a single transit). Conversely, forcefully passing an object through the Corell Barrier without proper calibration would mean that said object would retain it's native properties. For instance, booping the planet with a finger using enough force to get through the barrier would leave a decidedly large dent in the surface and probably break the crust.
Note to self, use of the term 'booping' in a report should be kept to a minimum. Also, no, I did not boop the planet, though there was momentary temptation.
Surface scans were completed per routine. No particularly interesting qualities, materials, or conditions (aside from probably a few rather nice beaches that might be worth a visit sometime, for anyone not averse to getting really small). Solus was then re-transited back through the aperture and resumed it's standard orbital position.
Simple catch and release, I wish they all went this smoothly.

T-Bone of Lydia conducting some rather intimidating looking lab tests, but not actually doing anything mean or improper. What the hell kind of macro picture is this, anyway?
