//------------------------------// // Day 22: Still Going // Story: Through the Darkness of Space // by Lt Rainbow Slash //------------------------------// 4 December, 3603 Day 22 5,436LY from Cel Sorry I skipped a day. Just dead stars and snowballs yesterday. Nothing worth writing about. Today though was a goldmine. I found a few terraforming candidates early on, but one system was amazing. Two terraformable water worlds, another candidate, and an ammonia world. I had heard of ammonia worlds of course, but I'd never seen one. It looked like a burnt brown and black version of an Equis-like world. I curiosity made me make my way down to the surface. The first thing I noticed was it was freezing. Like really damn cold. -52 C to be exact. Which makes sense: Ammonia boils off at -33 and freezes at -77, and there was liquid ammonia seas. It was so strange. There were plants and animals, but they were barely identifiable by our standards of such. I don't really know what to make of it, or how to even begin describing it. It was just so...alien. I took very detailed scans of any lifeforms I could find before I left. I didn't stay long as I was too creeped out.
