I have arrived in Tau-31 to survey Sirian terraforming technology per your orders. The project on planet Harris is impressive. On my approach to the planet I passed several mining ships in the ice fields and a train of transports carrying the ice planet-side. My sources on the planet say the introduction of nebular ice crystals into the Harris atmosphere has increased O2 and CO2 by 5% in 1 year. Ambient temperature has been increased by .5 degrees C.
I cant say Harris is terribly hospitable at the moment. My flight suit wasnt enough to keep out the cold, but the Planetform reps say this is balmy compared to 5 years ago.
Further survey of the surrounding system shows some tension between Bretonia and Kusari. I happened upon a Battle group patrolling the jump gate into Leeds.
It took 45 minutes of fast talking on my part to convince them I wasn't a Kusari spy.
I hope this message finds all in good health. With luck I should be in NewCastle by the end of the day.
