<nowiki>::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.::</nowiki> | <nowiki>::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.

*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.

*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 for the Triumphant's Doctor. | *We have named our touchdown beach, [[T'Lara]] Beach in honor of one of our Commanders aboard the USS Triumphant.

===The Ruins=== | |||
A 19th century French novelist named Gustave Flaubert, wrote, ''"I love above all the sight of vegetation resting upon old ruins; this embrace of nature, coming swiftly to bury the work of man the moment his hand is no longer there to defend it, fills me with deep and ample joy."'' | A 19th century French novelist named Gustave Flaubert, wrote, ''"I love above all the sight of vegetation resting upon old ruins; this embrace of nature, coming swiftly to bury the work of man the moment his hand is no longer there to defend it, fills me with deep and ample joy."'' | ||

===Recommendations=== | |||
In conclusion, I would say that T8A is a planet to be cherished, visited infrequently, and preserved in its natural state. Any experimentations should be done off-planet as it is truely a paradise. | In conclusion, I would say that T8A is a planet to be cherished, visited infrequently, and preserved in its natural state.
