It was Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, Kai didn’t remember exactly what day it was, but what he remembered of that day was a Journey he had planned since he joined the Atlantis’ crew and after discovering a hidden planet of the Aedis system, which was until then undiscovered by Starfleet Exploration Groups.

The planet (a class M one) was nicknamed funnily Cheese Ball III, because it was the third planet of the system they were in and because its yellow color with huge craters made it seem like a cheese ball flying in space.
“Do you think there are living stuff there?” Asked one of his comrades when Kai made the discovery “maybe, maybe not. But something is certain, we cannot get transported to it.”
Indeed a magnetic field of some kind blocked or disturbed communication to be able to use the transporter. The only solution was the shuttle.

And indeed he, after many days of prays and ridiculous favor made to the captain (no offense to her), managed to organize what was an expedition to explore and take some samples of whatever they could find on that planet.
The shuttle, the “Coriolis” was being prepared by the Ensign, who was excited to wait someone to show up and begin the adventure on Cheese Ball III (Aedis III, for science accuracy) while his new pet, Rylee (a Golden Retriever), was jumping everywhere in the hangar bay, not knowing what to do.
