Entering orbit, as The Drifter comes around the planet,
Wooooo
Pulls The Drifter into a higher orbit,
Where did that moon come from? There isn't supposed to be a moon here,
Double checks the scans from Solaris, and there is nothing showing a moon.
Scanning the area, and navigates The Drifter into orbit over the moon and planets orbit, in order to scan it and find out why it was not detected on previous scans.

Incoming comm from Solaris
Captain, I've got an incoming comm from Sharrel on The Titan, I'm relaying her open comm to you, and I assume you don't want her to know you are off station, so I am working with that premise.
Relayed Comm from Sharrel:
Sharrel to Anita
Anita we are heading towards where Lis home world should be, have you made a decision about inviting the Xenon to Solaris?

Relayed comm from The Drifter around Zan, through Solaris, to Sharrel on The Titan
I don't feel comfortable with inviting the Xenon's to Solaris, but there may be a solution based on your idea of external base, we'll know more in a few hours.
LIS home world? Is this something that might prove promising?

Captain Sharrel's reply, and she ended the comm.
Sharrel said:
I have no idea, honestly I am stalling for time, and it is close to the Xenon’s world.

Ia, I'm sending my scans of Zan's moon to you, and tell me why you didn't pick up the moon.

Captain, as near as I can tell, its small and its constantly hidden because of the strange magnetic pull of Zan, and the sun, the moon's gravitational orbit, always seems to stay hidden in the shadow of the planet. Its tiny for a moon (smaller then Pluto), its 1,376.6 km (855 miles) in diameter, and for those looking for it, or the odd time it is detected, it seems more like a large satellite (or asteroid) orbiting the planet.
From what we know of that system, I am calculating, and guessing that only when all of the planets are lined up in that system is the moon visible as a moon, but that only happens every couple of centuries.
The atmosphere is breathable, as its in the shadows, its much cooler the Zan itself, the temperature seem to run at a constant 70 degrees (21 C), its unpopulated, there are large rugged hills at each of the poles, and the rest you can see for yourself.

Excellent, I believe we have found a location, I'll quickly finish this system and head back, contact Sharrel and let her know that we have found a location, up date her on the moon, and ask her if she can send an invitation to the Xenons, with the co-ordinates of this moon, but make sure the invitation is to happen after the grand opening on The Commons, we were all looking forward to that, and we need time to get supplies to the moon to set something up.

Heading to Borough Sarrin, I'm really happy that we found this moon, it bothers me about the Xenons, they just show up and expect, from what I can tell, maybe this way we can learn more about them, and if they truly want to be part of Solaris, they will have to learn out ways.
OOC To Borough.
