DATE: day:1 year:1 of arrival to exoplanet-OGLE-2215- BLG-3223L
We've decided to call the exoplanet Heim. It's larger than earth but not by much.
Scans of its environment were strange to say the least. The data points to abnormal weather activity on all points of its surface. Must be some sort of naturally occurring energy source causing interference with our radar.
Flora and fauna seem plenty. I would wager it rivals that of 19th-century Earth. What a time that must have been. I just realized that in a few hours I'll be living that dream! Being the lead astrobiologist does have its perks. Even if the lousy A.I. they assigned me would rather play pranks than do his duty.
We will be taking a shuttle pod to the surface soon. Las Casas will remain in orbit until first contact can be made.
I guess it would be good to add to my notes that signs of intelligent life have been spotted from orbit, ranging from monolithic structures to crop irrigation.
Unfortunately, I wasn't tasked with that mission. First contact sounds like a lot more fun than collecting plant data. Though, I can say that I'm more than excited to get a closer look at that tree. If the data's correct, the tree stands taller than Mount Everest. I've got to know how the root system and layers of sediment can support such a massive tree.
I'll log another entry after I put boots on the ground and spectacles to the forest!
In the meantime, here's a summary of the data I've gathered so far
