Day 5....After days of bland unchanging grey sand desert, finally came across something interesting....a mineral deposit of some sort....
SATCAM image from Ertauq:
The metallic minerals seem to be aligned to the planet's magnetic field.....the resulting stress points allow eruptions of gas and liquid that deposit a crystalline mineral....nearly clear to blue in colour:
There is also a curious life form...a semi-sentient plant of some sort....I will call them "frond friends" for now...as they are quite pleasant, and make good company...
Overall, the YV-745 that M.A.N.T.I.S. provided has worked rather well....for a simple transport mission...
Other than being a bit ugly, it was a fun ride.....I look forward to my next assignement.....
