Survey Duties

[E X O D I T E]

The refit Kestrel Dove of the Favored Son is waiting on the pad to carry the survey team to the Sea of Discovery, the largest body of water on Planet Colebrook. It's around 4 PM local time when they finally arrive, just before it the area starts cooling down due to the thin atmosphere. Dove sets itself down almost on the shore and the guys file out.

"So, this is a great day for the beach, huh?" The probe is deployed and the checking of the water below is in progress. "Don't take off your suits, that water is boiling temperature and the barometer says the decompression will be nasty."

This doesn't stop a couple enterprising team members from making sand castles whilst the probe does its work. Then the results are in.

"Wow, this saline percentage is through the roof. Over 490,000 parts per million. I think this is the saltiest naturally-occuring body of water in recorded history. And look at all those nasty vapors. The sheer toxicity of this place is amazing." The man goggles at the numbers again before looking to his associates. "Well, we got what we came for, let's pack up and go home. I'll be compiling the report on the way back."

Willow and Gentlemen,

The survey of the Sea of Discovery has shown no signs of multicellular life beyond a few primitive species of what appears to be a fungus-analogue. We've secured samples for Courage to take up to Magic Brick for transfer to Event Horizon or Concordia. A collection of the saline precipitates has revealed a massive concentration of minerals that can be easily accessed. We'll be requesting the deployment of heavy ordnance to boil the seas away to gather the minerals for easy carrying off by the trucks.

However, to properly get at them, the atmosphere will need to be thickened, and we may have to drag asteroids and whatnot in from the Coos field to increase the planetary mass. Considering that was the plan anyway, consider this a request to accelerate the schedule.

The League overcomes, gentlemen.
