SIR! SIR! ORBIT ADMIRAL! The scouts have come back with their report, and I have used their findings with the 20 mile radius of our radar scanners to present a passable assessment of our surroundings.
- This location is facinating. The strange yellow bars are actually solar panels which extend to cover the whole of 1's area. Presumably this was to make use of the solar energy in the planet's short, but blisteringly hot Summer. Secondly, it would shade the underground reservoir from evaporating in the heat (the reservoir is now heavily polluted and swarming with Ruin Roaches.
- This is the largest of the various impact spots, it goes incredibly deep and was presumably caused by a passing meteor shower, or industrial explosion.
- This structure is incredible. It is a gigantic glass-like dome, but the internal structure of the glass allows light through, but not heat! It seems this was a refuge for the population during the short but brutal summers. NOTE: should we need to stay here for an extended time, I believe we could hook up our water pumps to the meteor damaged area and fill the dome with water for a larger base of operations.
- I believe this used to be a green area, now charred and ruined. It was, however, the only flat area for hundreds of miles to mount a landing.
- The only patch of green on the entire planet. It seems the soil is so rich that the plants grow incredibly hardy and can cope with the conditions. The area is flanked with great obelisks which seem to have names engraved, or at least unique glyphs.
- This place is incredible. At first we thought it was some sort of religious building, it has alters and statues, but it appears to be a library, a vast, magnificent collection of texts. From a section that seemed to be focused on children's literature, we have gathered a basic understanding of the language. Our final conclusion is that it is in-fact a religious building, worshiping knowledge rather than a deity.
- Now, try to understand this from a different culture's view. Using our basic knowledge of the language, we believe this building is a factory, used to produce liquid energy and fertiliser. I believe they liquidised their dead. It seems they held no sanctity in death whatsoever, to them a carcass was simply an inanimate object. It seems the primary focus of this corpse-crusher was to enrich the soil of 5, for produce. It's elegant if you think about it...
- We have literally no idea what this place was supposed to be. It doesn't even have a door.
