Aliens!? - Elliot

Oh man, oh man, oh man...This is every xenolinguist’s dream! Okay, I was helping with planetary scans and there are possible unknown structures on the surface. This could set my career up for life. The images are a little degraded coming through the atmosphere, but it looks like intentional and complex architecture, which means civilization, and civilization means *trumpet fanfare* language! Aw, man! Now, most of the crew just wants to get home, I understand that, but this could be a defining discovery. I am definitely going to put a bug in Diana’s ear about going to the surface, so I can take a team to explore. I desperately hope this pans out. Ugh, I can’t wait until we get into communication range with Sol again. Laila and the kids would love to hear this. I mean, it’s rough being away from them for so long, but this might just make it worth it. I’ll be able to give them so much more.
