Greeting from the Gamma 1 Octantis star system. This is
Captain Norton of the USS Pathfinder. I have an update
on the progress we are making on colonizing planet 5 of
this star system, which our crew has named "Alluvium."
After a successful landing in a vast prairie alongside
a river two Earth weeks ago, we disembarked our vessel.
I assigned several of our scientists with the task of
analyzing the quality of Alluvium's air and water, and
I am pleased to report that the air and water here are
suitable for the habitation of humans. Earth's
International Interstellar Colonization Organization
made a fine choice when they selected this planet for
our colonization mission.
I will now briefly give a general description the flora
that we have discovered so far on Alluvium: The valley
that we landed the Pathfinder in is largely filled with
a fern-like species of plant, along with many small
flowers that have a similar appearance to violets that
are found on Earth, but contain a deep reddish hue.
Most of the trees that grow in this region of the
planet are absolutely massive in size! They somewhat
resemble the redwoods that are found on Earth in
California's Yosemite National Park, however, these
trees appear to be considerably taller with a smoother,
dark, mahogany-colored bark.
Our crew is currently undertaking several projects in
the valley in which the USS Pathfinder is stationed.
Our main priority for the time being is to establish
a lumber mill, which will obviously aid in the building
of future structures for which the plans are currently
being developed. The next buildings scheduled to be
erected are private homes for all of our crew members
and a hospital.
I should also mention that one other priority near the
top of my list is to identify what plant life here is
suitable for human consumption. Our food rations are
wearing thin after our long journey from Earth so we
must establish some farms in the near future.
I do have some unsettling news to report. Our radar
operators working onboard the Pathfinder have
reported for the past three nights in a row that they
have detected what they believe to be two vessels
orbiting Alluvium at an altitude of approximately
21,000 miles. Needless to say, if these were in fact
ships, we hope that they weren't more rogue spacecraft
like the one that we encountered when we entered this
star system.
It is time for me to return to work now. I will
transmit another update sometime in the coming weeks.
