Planetfall

To a world of science. To a life of the mind.

Preliminary scans of Planet's surface indicate its mass to be much larger than originally supposed, with an overall climate that curiously mixes dense cloud cover with relatively sparse oceans. Interference from indigenous species will undoubtedly hinder our research, and yet Planet seems to be a welcoming and fertile new home—one which my enlightened experiments will no doubt only improve as time progresses. One can only hope that other faction leaders surviving the Unity will not be so dense as to attempt to interfere with my research...

I wonder how many of their landing pods survived to reach the surface. Perhaps I will even see her again...
