New plot tonight... a sufficiently long TBS between the end of the last plot and this one to allow resolution of all unresolved plot elements

Arcadia continues its exploration mission just outside of Federation space. A long range probe detected a rogue planet between two star systems. We are tasked with investigating
9:07 PM
Any sim-related questions?

The long range probe report indicated that it is close to the size of earth, but completely frozen and its atmosphere has either solidified or sublimated. There were also traces of metals below the ice, and a possible dilithium signature, making it a possible target for a remote mining operation.

Lt. Cmdr. Arizhel 11/29/2023 9:16 PM
is the worry that they are smuggling? or creating enemy ships? or something else
Avatar
Captain Lo'Ami 11/29/2023 9:16 PM
No indications of ships near the planet, so we don't think anyone else has found it yet

If the Federation mines it first, we could claim rights to its mineral deposits, which could introduce a new element to the economy of the nearby Sigma Tau sector.

Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 11/29/2023 9:20 PM
I'm certainly glad not to be stationed on that mining outpost.
Avatar
Captain Lo'Ami 11/29/2023 9:20 PM
The core is still radioactively hot, so, we estimate that it got ejected from its planetary system less than a billion years ago, though the long range probe could not determine exactly when it happened.

You'd have to switch out teams pretty frequently or find people who don't require sunlight
9:20 PM
((or hire vampires))

Captain Lo'Ami 11/29/2023 9:23 PM
We will of course need an away team. With your luck as chief engineer, you're going to evaluate the planet for suitability for mining. Ens Natell will lead the planetary science team. And, Cmdr Arizhel, you will provide security in case someone else does try to stake a claim while we're down there.

Dilithium keeps the starships going. Until we find some way to replicate it, it's still a valuable resource with only natural sources.
9:26 PM
Of course, you will need full EVA suits.

Should we be ready to go as soon as we're in range?

Lt. Cmdr. Dana Los 11/29/2023 9:28 PM
I'd recommend going for the harsh environment model, since it's going to be chilly down there.

The surface temperature will be a chilly -250C.

If you need orbital drilling into the ice, the ship's phasers will be available.

Should we do some orbital scans to find promising landing sites before we set out?
9:32 PM
I don't want to hike all over a rogue planet looking for the one bit of dilithium.

Captain Lo'Ami 11/29/2023 9:32 PM
Yes, of course.
9:32 PM
Science should have the results of the long range probe's scans. It should at least give us a head start
Avatar
Lt. Cmdr. Arizhel 11/29/2023 9:35 PM
hopefully we won't have to drill through too much ice

Perform short range scans as we get closer to augment the probe results

The planet may have been a class M water world at some point, any rocky surface you see was probably a mountain back then

It's hard to know until we get orbital scans.

and we're in range, hopefully the scans should help decide which site to start with

I'd say so, there's exposed rock and some proper mineral deposits.
