THE DISTANCES ARE SLOWLY GROWING, ALREADY WAY OVER 100 DYAMS TO THIS        
MEDIUM-SIZED QUARTZ PLANET WHICH AGAIN HAS THREE MOONS. I WOULD SAY         
THAT IT'S GOLDEN, BUT ONLY IF IT WASN'T SO BLEAK. NOW THE BEST I CAN        
SAY IS 'YELLOW'. I LANDED AT 289.11, A SOMEWHAT DARK SPOTS (THEY ARE        
PLENTIFUL, FAR MORE THAN BRIGHT ONES, WHICH ARE LARGER INSTEAD).            
THERE WAS AN EXTENSIVE PLATEU LEADING STRAIGHT TO A PEAK READILY            
VISIBLE TO THE SOUTH - OR WAS IT NORTH? LOOKING CLOSELY, A WIDE             
RIFT IN THE GROUND COULD BE SEEN JUST BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN. I                
VISITED AND EXPLORED THIS SPECTACULAR TERRAIN, BUT REMEMBER THAT            
THE CONDITIONS (INCLUDING THE STAR'S WEIRD APPEARANCE, ONLY VISIBLE         
FROM THE CUPOLA) ARE STRANGE, AND THE LANDER'S BEAM MIGHT EASILY GET        
LOST IN THE SKY'S GLARE. I'D RECOMMEND KEEPING COLD BLOOD AND               
STEERING BY THE COMPASS. SERPENS, 6011 787.764
