Enlargement of the T8A area to show its relationship with DS17 First reports by unmanned probes, indicated that T8A was an uninhabited tropical paradise. On 238404.29 two Starfleet Security Officers, Kassa Quay and Thompson Kirby, newly married explorers, set out to explore the planet on their honeymoon. They renamed T8A, calling it Planta del Amor. Below are the results of their explorations. The Kirby-Quay Expedition Details from Kassa Quay's Notes: Size ::On approach, Kassa and Kirby could see that T8A was very small... hardly large enough to even be deemed a planet, but with an atmosphere, it could not be ruled out as one. Ensign Boatman circled it to find the best place to set the shuttle down, while Kassa sketched off a crude map.:: ::They landed on the beach of what looked like the mouth of a seaway that nearly cut the land mass in half.:: Kassa: If DS17 had all the decks laid out side by side, it would be about the same size as T8A. Maybe a little smaller, but close, so it shouldn't take us long at all to cover the land mass with the ATV. Atimen Sea and Sealife Details from Kassa Quay's Notes: The water so clear you can see for hundreds of feet when swimming, and it makes you want to chase the array of blue, purple, and yellow fish that abound all the way to the sandy depths. Game fish, an irridescnt silver color, play among their their brightly colored counterparts, and are easily taken with fishing gear from the shore. Average Temperature of the water: 79 degrees F. We named the ocean, Atimen Sea, after Kirby's Best Man. Beach Areas Details from Kassa Quay's Notes: We have named our touchdown beach, T'Lara Beach in honor of one of our Commanders aboard the USS Triumphant. A waterway separates two land masses almost totally, making the beaches seem endless. The only land link between the land masses is the other end of the waterway, which we have name Prox Cove. As we moved inward between the land masses, coastal lagoons form a build-up of sandbanks along shallow coastal waters. More data to come.
