After opening up the floor for questions it did not take long for one to come up. However the question did not come from anyone actually present in the room. It was a valid question however and one with merit. [color=6ecff6]"Thank you for joining us, Charman Gimpri Rakos-Tum. I will admit that in the past we may have been quick to judge a planet's life sustainability. We have since buckled down on our practices and are sure to make thorough scans to avoid oversights like what occurred with our scans with Danakos."[/color] Malkovich kept a calm air about him as he continued. [color=6ecff6]"For a short answer to the first question, yes. They have already been reviewed GEO and I would be more than willing to transmit our findings to you if you wish to inspect them yourself."[/color]

On to the second question. The graphic of the planet that was displayed previously had several spots highlighted on it. Each one zoomed in, some were surface locations while others were subterranean scans for any underground caves or structures.
 [color=6ecff6]"There were several points of interest that were picked up by our scans that could have been the beginnings of a civilization. As you can see on closer inspection they proved to be false positives.[/color] After some time to review the holo was brought down again. [color=6ecff6]"We made sure several teams reviews the data and...[/color] Pisq and Elektro's intrusion was ignored long enough to finish the sentence. [color=6ecff6]"there is not any reason to believe that any form of civilization will arise on Aurorias in the foreseeable future."[/color] 

Turning to the intruders Malkovich simply motioned for them to them to take a seat. [color=6ecff6]"Nice of you to join us. Please sit. You will have the opportunity to properly introduce yourself once you are on your way."[/color] 

Back to the matter at hand. Abigail had begun flinging questions. Amusingly they slowed when the prospect of paperwork and logs arose. [color=6ecff6]"The particular area you are assigned to was selected due to its concentration of species of interest. You are not confined to only this area but I would not advise straying too far from it. You will be broken up into smaller teams. Should something happen you want to be near enough to give or receive backup. As for how long you will be there, this job is initially slated to last three weeks. Due to the nature of the terrain the Sirius will remain in orbit and you will be provided with biospheres as a base camp on the surface. The species you capture will be detained in a pre-established retaining area for observation. You will be pleased to know that you do not need to catalog every species you encounter. That is the job of our scientists. That said any data you can gather would be more than welcome. Do make note of anything out of the ordinary though."[/color]

Looking at the panel before him for the time there was a brief moment of pause. Rising from his chair Malkovich motioned for the robot that had escorted everyone in to open the doors. [color=6ecff6]"You must forgive me, I must to cut this short. I need to be sure to brief everyone on the mission and we are on a time table. Please direct any further questions to your commanding officer and we will address them in turn. Thank you for your time."[/color] Everyone was ushered out.

The ship blinked in just outside of the planet's orbit. The process of getting prepped and brought to a planet for a job like this was pretty standard and the GAHL had streamlined it fairly well. Still all the hunters had a day between the meeting and boarding the Sirius to go. Thanks to Faster Than Light (FTL) travel it didn't take insanely long to reach their destination. 

A preliminary scan was made on the drop site to be sure nothing was amiss. Once the area was clear the hunters and equipment were brought down in a shuttle and settled in a small clearing. Their first task was to establish a base camp. All were suited up as per standard for landing on a new planet. There were too many factors to account for to not protect ones self from the unknown.
