Anything Could Be An Endangered Species

In this episode, the crew of the MSV Ansun has come to investigate a small terraforming colony that recently failed to respond to a regular check-in call, probably just equipment failure. But in space, Anything Could Happen!

The MSV Ansun is in orbit around Gliese 163 c, just 49 light-years from Earth. This third planet in the system is a ‘Super-Earth’ planet in the light of a Red Dwarf in what could be described as the southern constellation of Dorado. This planet has an orbital period of just 26 days but a mass of 6.9 Earths and although it is technically in the star's habitable zone, the average temperature of 60 deg. C. It has an eccentricity estimated to be just 0.03, giving it a fairly circular orbit and polar areas that are significantly colder, closer to Earth’s temperate zones.

What has happened to the colonists and why are they not responding to hails? We shall find out when Anything Could Happen.
