Same Old Thing...Until

Well, I'll be damned. After charting water world after water world, I finally happened across my first earth-like world.
After dropping five probes on the planet to get the real lay of the land, I just sat there in low orbit, enjoying the view. So peaceful. And then I had to pee. A quick visit to the head and then I decided to take a quick look at this planet's moon...which was just a little bit closer to its parent than Luna is to Earth. After I set down on the rock and powered non-essential systems down, I found myself just incredibly relaxed.
Well, time for a quick shower and then I'm going to crawl into the bunk. It's almost midnight, ship's time...hindsight being 20/20, I really should have put the ship down on the dark side, huh? Oh, well, I don't have any windows in the quarters, so I'll have undisturbed sleep.
G'night.
