Many of us are dubious about our next exploratory mission – especially after the beautiful planet we recently set on fire, but, it looks like we will be exploring another class-M planet, starting tomorrow. Our runabout, Liberty, came back with distance scans of a star system that contains another Earth-like planet. The Liberty wasn’t close enough to scan the planet for geological features – or inhabitants -- but it is, without a doubt, class-M. Since our mandate is to discover planets like this, Captain Picard has ordered us to travel there during Gamma Shift.
Uncertain as we may be, and despite any guilt from our last planet mission, we will just have to go boldly, and see what awaits us. I just hope it doesn’t involve time travel, or burning forests. I am not particularly fond of either of those things right now. Neither is most of the crew.
