Day 22: Still Going

Day 22

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.

Interested but kinda disgusted,
