## At Oransiimaa
|
|
|
|
The Oransiimaa system looks like a variation of old Earth solar
|
|
system, only slightly minified. Its Oort cloud equivalent is
|
|
more sparse. There are no objects greater than 0.3 earth masses
|
|
beyond the 65 AU mark, which is interesting.
|
|
|
|
Composition. Seven planets, no asteroid belt, 439 dwarf planets.
|
|
Description of the seven major planets follows. More data on the
|
|
EDLs.
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 1: A super earth, with an atmosphere incompatible
|
|
with life, tidally locked.
|
|
|
|
--- Habitable zone begins ----------
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 2: 0.98 rocky planet, life compatible atmosphere,
|
|
surface water, it would be promising if not were for
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 3: 1.01 rocky planet, free molecular oxygen
|
|
suggestive of photo-syntentic life forms, surface 80%
|
|
oceanic, large moon.
|
|
|
|
We can't tell you how excited we're about Oransiimaa 3
|
|
|
|
--- Habitable zone ends ----------
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 4: 25 Earth masses, gas giant.
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 5: 6 Earth masses, ice world - super Earth
|
|
sort of planet.
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 6: 53 Earth masses, gas giant.
|
|
|
|
Oransiimaa 7: .76 Earth masses rocky planet.
|
|
|
|
----- Report ends -------------------
|
|
|
|
We are now discretly approaching Oransiimaa 3 to
|
|
determine the presence of any civilization according
|
|
to protocol.
|
|
|
|
Wish us luck (Side note follows)
|

## QEC's relay 1 funny again.
|
|
|
|
We have receieved from QEC's relay 1 an odd message ciphered in
|
|
what at first sight looks like some form of Portugese. Are the
|
|
Angolan hackers playing fun again? Or is it the New Azorean
|
|
ultrarobotists dispersing encoded propaganda? The open
|
|
message seems too innocent to include cryptographic data lines.
|
|
|
|
We are now free to proceed on our mission as opportunity
|
|
arises. On that purpose, we are approaching a dwarf orange star,
|
|
which shows some promise of holding advanced life forms, in the
|
|
sense of life formed observable to the naked eyes. Possibly even
|
|
a civilization, yet, probably not an advanced one as we have
|
|
been unable to detect radio emissions from either of the two
|
|
planets orbiting the star in the habitable zone.
|
|
Further details will be given on the encoded data lines, as
|
|
our recent encounter with hostile aliens forces us to be
|
|
prudent. For reference we are given this star the code
|
|
Oransiimaa.
|
|
|
|
We serve humanity.
