((Pretend the Civilization section isn't there, I can't really change it but yall are definitely not a aristocracy or at the interplanetary age yet, just the space age since not all of the tech could be carried on the ships))

"Good, Tom. How are the scanners going, Lt. Gagarin?" You say,
"Well and fine sir, we should have a full scan up within the hour, sir."

You nod, and after about 10 minutes, the red emergency-lights start flashing and the AI comes online.

"Helm! Take us down to the planet! NOW!"

You wake up in medbay and the doctor nods, "He's awake!"
"Good, get him on his feet and tell him to come to the bridge please, we need him there."
After all the regular sickbay stuff, you head into the bridge.
"Sir," The XO says as he hands you a report and you start looking over it, "We encountered very heavy radiation upon entering the planet's orbit. It seems this planet has.. Electromagnetic storms, and heavy radiation. It is, however, a surprising candidate for terraformation to a basic degree at least. A lot of microbes and a few fungi-heavy areas, you wouldn't think it by looking at it from orbit but from looking at the history books, Sci-ward says it's in an early stage identical to Earth in it's early stages."
You're response?
