Riker asks to be kept informed so that they might resume their mission in a timely fashion. These scans also reveal debris in orbit of the planet. Initial scans of the planet by Geordi La Forge show it to be quite inhospitable: nitrogen, methane, liquid neon, surface temperature −291 ° Celsius, and wind speeds up to 312 meters per second. The Enterprise has arrived to investigate. This diversion was caused by a report from a Klingon cruiser regarding the discovery of a strange vessel in the atmosphere of the planet below.
