Letters to the Stars/Cpt. Prezal - M1

Cpt. Prezal of the Astral Maiden, 
We've finally arrived at X494-B4. After surveying the planet from a distance we confirmed that the only developed social groups have formed around freshwater lakes that form as the result of ice melts.
Atther's curiosity got the better of her, and she investigated the properties of the virus we've been synthesizing. Once an unwitting accomplice, she's become an obsessive follower, which is fortunate, because what she found would have turned the rest of the crew against us... She found that the virus won't kill the inhabitants, but it will sterilize them. Given previous reports of their short life expectancy, their society will have less than a decade left by the time we return home.
After landing gate side we made contact with the natives. They are a peaceful people that have formed a very trusting and collaborative society. I feel some regret for having spread the virus through the ice that will slowly make it's way into their water supply. They lack industrial capabilities, so it is unlikely that they would have posed any real threat to the empire.
As requested, we conducted a pre-colonial survey to guide future settlement of the planet. Atther's says it should be safe for our countrymen within 20 years.
Henry's ship cult has maintained it's strength, conducting daily worship and hand feeding him. Their militancy has wained, but I suspect that has more to do with the whims of Henry than it does the disposition of his followers.
