Found myself drifting over Windmere IV today—a glacial sphere of such crystalline perfection that it made me think of my first winter on Kepler-62e, though this one's far more hostile and (mercifully) far less inhabited. The atmospheric readings are screaming methane and ammonia, and beneath that suffocating blanket lies what appears to be substantial water ice overlaying a methane-rich mantle that the spectroscope can barely see through. If we're lucky, there's something worth sampling in those lower deposits, though I suspect the station bureaucrats back at Port Meridian will want a full mineral survey before authorizing a landing—the usual tedious gamble between discovery and paperwork.
