Exploration: Planet Palmyra

Day 1: The arrival

System: Omicron Kappa
Location: Planet Gammu

Alpha-EX, a Gammu Artificial Intelligence was offline for maintenance on Gammu, the home planet of the artificial life form named Gammu. When Alpha-EX was set online, the Mother Ship ordered to explore the Planet Palmyra located in Omicron Zeta. After the instructions, the Gammu was going to prepare his vessel. Alpha-EX looked at his right side and observed the remains of some Gammu again offline and or in a bad shape. Some were sectioned in two and some lost an arm or even almost all the body parts. After staring at the them, he continued his road to the ship that he will use a Serenity. He found it somewhere on Gammu and decided to modify it for a good purpose there was many years ago. The ship was ready now and full of the appropriate equipments: a drilling machine modified by the Gammu so the energy used was the same as the Gammu Ship used, some lockers to stock what will be found and of course, his humanoid body to explore the surface of the planet. After some verification, Alpha-EX activated the engine and began to slowly leave the planet.

System: Omicron Zeta
Loction: Planet Palmyra orbit

The flight took some days if we refer to the human perception of time and all went well during the flight. Once the ship was in Palmyra's orbit, the ship began the landing sequence. To enter in the atmosphere was an easy part of the first step, but now, it was question to find a good spot to land. The speed was reduce to avoid any turbulence. Alpha-EX activated the cameras to look about to have a look of 360 degrees. Under the ship, there was a big ocean with some icebergs over here and there, but no one seemed able to let a transport to land so the Gammu let the ship moving a bit and looked again about some hours. After 5 hours of flight and looking on the land, Alpha found a land under ice. It remained him his home. The place was a good one to let land a ship and judging it was a good one, Alpha-EX initiated the landing sequence again. It took some minutes to land and stabilize the ship. Once done, the doors open and the Gammu went outside. He did not take an equipment because he wanted to make sure that the place was safe. So he took a look around and due of the high technology within him, he could see far and near with a super zoom located in his eye. The area was clear. There was no human ship in sky, no life form either and no presence of human on the planet. He returned in the ship and took the drilling machine. Alpha-EX set the machine on diging mode and the machine activated to do the job. The gammu was analyzing the temperature and scans told -112°C it was clear for him. No humans could endure this cold hell. It was sure, if a human would be there, he would die immediately. There was no wind at the moment so we the visibility was clear. The sky was blue and the icy land was just incredible by the view. It was like a paradize. The silent and the location were just perfect for a new future AI base. The drilling machine was working and during the waiting, Alpha-EX returned in the ship and went offline.
