The analysis program of the AICD started computing and started linking the new data the drone collected.
The ice of planet Waterford contained sulphur what explained the yellowish tone. But the most interesting fact was,
that there were two kinds of water to be found. The charge of the two elements was just slightly different.
One kind of the water molecules was only to be found within the ice sculptures and in the ground close to them as well as in the liquid underground lake,
while the other kind was much more abundant in the flat areas. Also the ice cores the team collected showed a very interesting fact.
The whole surface of the planet seemed to have melted about a millenium ago and the element found within the sculptures were not to be found
before that point. The AICD's program ran for a couple of hours before it transmitted the most likely scenario to the main computer of the Equinox.

It seemed that another stellar body, a large asteroid made of sulphur and water entered the atmosphere of planet Waterford and entered an orbit,
slowly closing in on the planet. The asteroid started melting in the atmosphere and due to it's size
and the long time it stayed in the orbit before it hit the surface it heated up the planet so the upper layers of ice melted.
It's materials were scattered all over the planet and the sulphur it contained sank into the molten surface. It was mixxed with the water and later froze to the yellow ice that now is typical for planet Waterford.
After some time the asteroid hit the ground and because of the high temperature it gained it melted the ice around it, sinking into the depths of the planet.
The underground lake the scientists found Is the location where it melted completely and the materials of the intruder kept the water down there from
freezing again untill the present day. The steam the asteroid emmitted created the large vertical cave which lead down to the lake.
This also explains the extreme concentration of sulphur within the liquid body of water.

For the origin of the ice sculptures it seems that the ice from the asteroid seems to be harder as the molecules stay tighter due to their slightly higher electrical charge. The ice that originally existed on planet Waterford is less stable and is slowly being eroded by the wind. What stays are the amazing ice sculptures, almost entirely made of the remains of the asteroid.

Without the personality core activated the AICD made a conclusion of the operation. The loss of a crewman seemed to be rather insignificant and was only marked as a side note. Once the core was automatically activated at the end of the AICD's analysis program it looked over the report it changed that point and extended the
side note into a whole passage about Calista and her work, showing off her legacy which was to be read by all those who would take a look
on the results of the surveillance mission of Camebridge Stellar Research on Planet Waterford, Leeds.
