Captain's log - Stardate 2261.482

The landing party consisted of Spock, three geologists and two security. Spock has reported back that, while there are some natural caverns, the majority of the tunnels could not have occurred by any natural method that he is aware of. The tunnels are perfectly smooth - almost as if polished. Even stranger is the presence of metal nuggets in the cavern areas that Spock says couldn't have occurred naturally either.

Spock had the geologists gather a large number of nugget samples to bring onboard for further analysis and possible additions to our raw goods.
