And there it is. A large, metallic world with a giant gash through the center of it… though there are other features that long-range scans didn’t initially pick up. Most notably, a ring system, one that might be the result of the recent impact, but it is bizarrely perpendicular to the bisecting gash. In addition, there are some smaller moons made of similar metallic substances to the planet itself, though “smaller” is probably relative, given the size readings of the world.
“It’s… nearly the size of Neptune!” Pantea exclaims.
“It also has remnants of an atmosphere still present. Thin, but non-toxic to most life forms present.” 19 adds. “Average surface gravity would appear to only be 2.7 times that of Earth’s, though significantly variable based on the significant physical discrepancies across the surface.”
“We will be entering orbit shortly.” Lemo lets you all know over comms. “The big guy here will be the first to let you know if something’s up.”
>A. Sense for any Ki signatures. Maybe this world isn’t as dead as it appears…>B. Should we help with the scans? There looks like there’s a LOT of planet to cover, after all…>C. Maybe we should check on those moons. If they’re like the planet, they could give some answers without needing to set foot there directly>D. Something else?
