Okay. So the Colony Module was what it said on the tin, but how was the ship carrying it? That had to be a sizable piece of equipment. Or, pieces of equipment. What she wouldn't have given to see the ship from the outside when it launched.

That line of thought could wait, though. Whoops. Lots of questions. Okay.

[color=7e5e7f]"Well, there wasn't really anyone to stop me."[/color] Artemie began to explain, directing her answer to Holden with a slightly sheepish smile. [color=7e5e7f]"I thought about it, and I suppose I could have gotten in trouble if anyone noticed. But I mean, I didn't expect them to. And as far as I know they didn't. If they did what were they going to do? Come get me? It would have taken years just to hear their lecture."

"Anyway, my computer couldn't really display a lot of the data. It was really meant to be opened on science stations, obviously, so I could only take a peek at [i]maybe[/i] half of what was there. But it could handle satellite images fine, and there were a lot of those. Um..."[/color] She refocused on Volana, Zakherin, and Konstantin, repeating their names in her head to fix them more firmly in her mind. Her voice was getting stronger as she spoke, some life returning to her features and mannerisms. [color=7e5e7f]"I'm afraid the majority isn't very lush, Colonel, but from what I saw it should be reasonably familiar. The areas near water looked fairly temperate, but to tell you the truth meteorology isn't exactly my specialty. But [i]definitely[/i] alive. There is vegetation of some sort along all of the major sources of liquid water that I saw."

"As for dust... I'm sure that data was there, but it wasn't anything I could open. The official briefing should fill us all in on the rest, right?"[/color]
