Subject: Notice of establishment of outpost
|
||
|
||
This is the Quintessence's official notice to the QEC transmitter records
|
||
database that we have arrived at ′5190″859942‴68400, to be known henceforth as
|
||
the Quintessence outpost. Our ship remains in orbit and is still spaceworthy.
|
||
|
||
We are prepared to respond to distress signals within 4ly, and expect our
|
||
capabilities to expand in the future. It is our intention to remain here for up
|
||
to 50 years. Our crew consists of 136 individuals, in 34 families, with 25
|
||
unaffiliated persons.
|
||
|
||
Our destination is a dwarf planet, 966km in diameter. It caught our interest
|
||
from 37ly, as it transited ′5190″859942 and showed spectral signatures of heavy
|
||
metals, which we intend to mine for expanding our ships and for possible trade
|
||
in the future. However, upon our arrival we have discovered previous signs of
|
||
inhabitation. We believe the previous tenants were interstellar in origin, as
|
||
there are no such signs in the large bodies of the system, which we are still
|
||
cataloguing. We will forward our findings to the QEC records database when we
|
||
have completed our survey of the system.
|
||
|
||
We have established a small archaeology team which will investigate the remains
|
||
of previous habitation. Our mining crew will begin work as planned on areas
|
||
which are deemed unlikely to have useful archaeological evidence.
