Good news. Our atmospheric sciences department, and associated engineering personnel, have developed an innovative “sustained dispersion outflow device” that should allow us to land on this wilderness planet – in our present time. This marvel of engineering has the ability to temporarily deflect the unique radiation particles in the atmosphere, and allow a small vessel to pass safely through the particulate mix, without traveling through time. This device has been successfully tested using a probe, and that probe is currently landed on the planet below us.
A secondary probe test is scheduled for later this evening, and if that probe also passes through the atmosphere (as it is expected to do), a runabout will be prepped for launch tomorrow, with a manned away mission down to the planet on Monday.
We may finally be able to visit the planet we came here to explore.
