EVENT
As L3Th3 predicted, Mnemosyne reaches the found planet on the 15th. The first view of the planet is both awe-inspiring and perplexing; a world fractured into countless floating landmasses, orbiting a radiant core that pulses like a living heart. The core's golden-red light casts shifting hues across the fragments, where forests cling to jagged cliffs and rivers spill into the void in endless waterfalls. Despite the chaotic appearance, the ship's sensors confirm the presence of a breathable atmosphere, stable temperatures, and signs of life. Strange energy readings does emanate from the core, while metallic signatures suggest ancient remnants of advanced structures scattered across the fragments.
The ship's cameras capture even more details - bioluminescent foliage shimmering under the core's light, clouds of mist swirling between fragments, and glimpses of winged creatures darting through the open air. L3TH3's systems report unstable yet navigable conditions for a shuttle, but urges caution while exploring.
When descending from the Mnemosyne, the landing shuttle's autopilot will navigate the surreal landscape of floating islands. The fragments are larger on the outside, breaking into smaller pieces the closer to the core they are, and reveals alien forests, glowing moss, and grassy plains. Here and there, vines stretch like natural bridges between landmasses, making the navigation a bit rough without an experienced pilot. Weaving through shifting gravitational forces, the shuttle's engines hum as it adjusts to the planet's gravity.
As the shuttle nears the landing zone - a stable plateau near the edge of a larger fragment - the core looms in the distance, its pulsating glow bathing the surface in warm light. The shuttle's landing gear extends with a soft hiss, touching down gently on the alien soil. The engines wind down, leaving only the faint heartbeat of the core and the distant sound of wind rushing through the fragmented terrain. The planet waits, silent and enigmatic, for the first steps of exploration.
Welcome to AG-001!
In the spirit of world-building... here is one! Characters are welcome to create and build this planet within the frame of the setting. Creatures, flora, anything non-sapient. In the end, it will not be a good planet to create a settlement on, but markers to survey it will be added.
On the 22nd, the Mnemosyne will continue the journey.

[Still, point taken - tiny insects can be deadly, too. But, more importantly, Rin's helmet angles towards Zaeed when he says that, leveling what must be an unimpressed look at him for that. If something charges out of the ferns towards them, they're blaming him for that.]
Maybe we should scout the edges of the island to start.
no subject
[Deadly things... small packages. He ignored the look. It was a fair comment, but these were huge plankton if so... A nod and he started heading towards the edge of this rock carefully.]
Do we have a clue how these are floating?
no subject
[Rin turns a reluctant glance at the creatures, maintaining a distance between themself and one that tries to float closer.]
Maybe something like air sacs. [They're really not a biologist, and the scanner can only do so much.]
no subject
...I suck at physics. Got a c in that class.
[Barely]
no subject
Compsci.
[In other words, they're making this shit up just as much as Zaeed.]
Everything else here seems to float.
[They indicate the little floating creature with a slight incline of their head.]
no subject
Hmmm, what about the makeup of the rock? Is it possibly porous, like a tougher version of pumice maybe? That might be easier if it's less dense to keep it afloat with something.
no subject
[Though... they're considering that now, if the way they start to glance around their surroundings is any indication.]
no subject
I wonder... doesn't look like any igneous I know, but I'd expect as much. Honestly, would sediment formed here even fall into the three categories we have back home?
no subject
[Their expression is hidden by the mask of their suit, but maybe Zaeed can feel the unimpressed 'I'm not a fucking geologist' stare directed towards him.
More to the point, they're going to start scanning that. He does at least have a good point that it's necessary data.]
Chemically, probably different.
no subject
[He let the scan continue aand frowned.]
The idea it's just floating is... damned weird. Wait... no... maybe the conditions could allow for volcanic heat to rise at some point in the past. So it might actually be similar to pumice. Damnit, my kingdom for a xenogeologist!
no subject
[Rin doesn't sound too torn up about the possibility, as they examine the rock and dirt beneath their feet.]
Another way we know this isn't purposeful reviving. The last thing L3TH3 wants awake right now is me, if she's actually focused on mission parameters.
no subject
[They were probably going to get the readings they could and gallavant off while marking the system. This place didn't seem immediately habitable.]
What's the largest of these islands we've seen?
