Scan complete, abnormalities detected.

Atmosphere: Corrosive

Abnormalities: Surface life, Unusual geographies.

Planet 2 is of 3 standard Earth masses with rugged terrain, indicative of possible artificial structures on planetary surface. Due to extremely high temperatures, all water present on planet have been heated to a gas which permeates the planet's thick sulfur atmosphere. Gravity of planet is high due to the planet's large mass and size. Atmosphere consists of compounds of sulfur and chlorine. It is thick and extremely corrosive. Extremophile lifeforms have been detected and identified on the planet surface in the form of small insect-like creatures each about 2mm in size. Planet's core is molten and tectonic activity is Earth-like.

Planetary evaluation initiated.

Evaluation concluded.

Planet unsuitable for human habitation. Initiating departure program.

Caution. Damage detected to ship. Automated damage control initiated.

Scanning...

S-Scanning...

False alarm. No damage detected. All systems are functional.

Cause: 55% probability, malfunction caused by close proximity of ship to system's star. High levels of radiation alerted damage control.

Conclusion: Proceed with greater caution.

Alert. On board maintenance supplies low. Initiating insitu resupply.

Scanning...

Scan complete.

System contains two asteroid belts. One is located in very close proximity to central star, second is located between the 6th and 7th planet of system.

Maneuvering with ion thrusters. ETA 103 days.

Extraction complete. Refueling complete.

Reigniting 'Tandem Mirror' Fusion Drive.

Hydrogen pressure nominal. Lithium catalyst injection initiated. Core pressure nominal. Fusion achieved. Engine reignition initiated...

Engine online. Plasma flow stable. Recalculating heading...

Heading recalculated.

Long range scanners detect no suitable planets within a 100 light year radius.

Calculation complete.

Proposal: The Seedship will travel through the nebula containing clusters of newborn stars, thereby entering a new stellar region and thus expect the increased availability of potential habitable planets.
