William stood with a hand on his chin. He turned left and right in order to survey the image being projected on front of him, several live feeds from the planet were being projected before him. The static was obvious, a result of the unavoidable EM radiation being emitted from the planet. It was like watching old news feed from the landing on Mars, the quality was poor. Though he got what he needed in order to make an assessment if anything happened. Sadly due to the radiation if he sent a message there would be a delay until the team got it, so he'd avoid doing so unless it was a dire emergency. After all, it was up to the members of the team to manage themselves. This likely wouldn't be the last planet they explored, the team had to learn to work as a unit to get the job done. 

His attention was drawn away by a sensor ping, he turned his attention towards the sensor screens that hung above the holographic projector. It had pinged for a reason, but he couldn't see the reason now. He turned to his aide. "Have those on sensor detail perform deep scans of this system, if nothing shows up have engineering look at the sensor array." His aide nodded and then turned, walking away to relay the order. There was always the possibility that with the run in with the Devastators, the hyperspace jump or with the system not ever being really run before that there was a minor systems glitch. Though he didn't like relying on possibilities, he ran on facts.

Just then the images before him faded away, replaced with the visage of Noah. "Sensor readings from the nearby systems within range of the Jump Drive are now ready for you to review." William nodded, without any crisis going on he was expecting the reports about now. Especially as Noah now had time to actually organise the reports prepared by his own sensor readings and the details given to him by staff in several departments. 

"Put them up." The hologram board activated again, a grid appearing. In each grid was a system with a designation created by Noah. It detailed the readings that the sensors got from the stars in system, number of planets, moons and any other astral bodies. More importantly it also listed - in green - the number of planets in the habitable zone. So far there wasn't a lot of luck. "Noah, remove anything that doesn't show promise of a habitable planet." A large number of systems disappeared, leaving him with only five systems to choose from. Space was a desolate place when it came right down too it. 

"Give me the run down of these systems."

"P3A-095, Systems shows promise of one Class 4 planet. P2A-555, System shows promise of one Class 3. More interestingly it shows promise of a Class 7-"

"A Class 7?" The board zoomed in on P2A-555, there were five planets in the system. They listed themselves with their designation beside them as to what class of planet they were. A class 7 was an interesting find, the planet the team was on currently was only a Class 4. That said there was no way to know how accurate these readings would be on closer inspection, ideally with long range scans it was best not to get your hopes up, simply due to its ideal size and position didn't mean it would be of any use to them. After all it could be a wasteland or the composition of the air may not be favourable. 

"I want all these findings double checked before we get our hopes up. Also have navigation plot a jump to the system. It seems as good a place as any to go to after we're finished here, see if this planet has anything of use for us."

"Yes Sir."

There was the sensor ping again. "Noah."

"Admiral?"

"Have engineering double check the main sensor array as well as the circuitry-" He looked back up at the sensor screen. "-and double the CAP*."
