Markus,
This is an attempt at re-sending a message in response to you
making planetfall, as transcription cognition engine seems
to have been making errors on which data goes to which bits
of entiangled data.

So, this message is being re-broadcast after night-time prayer
and contemplation of my current explorations. 

Your message cytes mineral extraction from a desert world of
remarkable aesthetics around an O Type star. This brings to
my mind a story with picts of a man who had, on finding a
desert world he wished to turn into a local land-racing hub
went mapping routes for road courses to be lain out. During 
this expedition he came upon a bluffoverlooking a most scenic
vista. Instead of putting spectator stands, or a structure up
he decided to, by hand, move an overstuffed chiar, the likes
one would find in an oldstyle [Temple of Knowledge]/Library]
chair to the spot and would sit there, watching others race
by, or simply to watch the local sun rise/set.

I have not been to this place, yet the scene as described, and
the picts shown do leave it as an interesting experiance. On
the other hand, were it to become a popular tourist spot, I am
afraid that such natural splendor would be worn down by many
feet stomping a path to and from this place, and the desert
littered and choked by the detritus of those wishing to be 
vanely seen by others as opposed to taking the lonely road for
their own enrichment.

As an aside, while I am more fond of K-Types? The cosmicly 
brief span of an O type's life holds a terror and wonder that
I can appreciate. For your own safety I do hope you have the
proper protective clothing and or skin coverings if you are of
the unaugmented baseline strain of humanity, or have augments
rated for the harsher spectrums such a bright candle throws to
the stellar winds. 

Great Maker guide and illuminate your path,
- Malak -
