Found myself orbiting what appears to be a perfectly ordinary terrestrial world—iron-rich crust, standard nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, the works—until the spectroscopy came back and nearly made me spill my coffee. The planet's poles are absolutely *saturated* with water ice, more than I'd expect for its orbital distance, and the whole thing suggests something catastrophic reset the climate cycles within the last million years or so. I've added it to the list for the research station back at Kepler Junction; they'll want to dig into this one properly, though I suspect it'll take them longer to process the paperwork than it took me to scan it.
