[ WP ] A new planet appears in the sky . Its orbit is between Venus and the Earth , and it has a distinct blue color .

The planet was first spotted twelve years ago. 
 
 The astronomers had, at first, seen only a large body on a course that would take it inside the solar system in two years. It was arriving from `` above'' the system plane, the path that all the other planets of the system traveled in. This why we had no seen its approach for so long. Well, that and it did not shine like a star or a comet. 
 
 The planet was a massive ice ball as it was caught by the Sun's gravity. Now, the rogue planet has taken an elliptical orbit around the Sun, at eighty eight degrees from the normal path taken by the rest of our worlds. 
 
 It only took a decade of being so close to the Sun to liquidate the ice. Now, after getting ready for ten years, we are going to visit our newest fellow planet, Poseidon. 
 
 `` Roger, Control, we also show Green Light Status across the board. `` said Mission Commander Sabina Anna Markov. 
 
 Commander Markov grinned at her copilot. 
 
 Major Nigel Terrence Smith grinned right back 
 `` I can not wait to see what the surface looks like, in person. Do you think that we shall see any land masses, Commander? `` 
 
 Sabina answered `` Perhaps, Nigel. We only arrived in parking orbit an hour ago. Still, I have hope... `` 
 
 The best of the best was represented by the Mission. The Commander was from New Russia, while Major Smith hailed from Great Britain. 
 
 The rest of the crew was representing the USA, Japan, The Mezzo American Republic ( RMA ), China, Australia and the Fertile Crescent Alliance ( FCA ). The best that the year twenty sixty one ( 2061 ) had to offer was aboard. 
 
 Forty one minutes later... 
 
 Lieutenant Aamir Rashad called out `` LAND! I see land in grid AA23/H47!'' 
 
 There it was, just as the FCA Geological Specialist said. 
 
 It sat in the eye of one of the many storms that wracked Poseidon. 
 
 It was the first time Humanity had ever seen a beach, a real beach, on another world. 
 
 Commander Markov said `` Da. I see it. Good eyes, Aamir. Jones? Send a drone down, immediately.'' 
 
 The American, Lieutenant Harold `` Duke'' Jones, a knowledged and the WSS `` Prometheus'' shuddered a bit as the drone was forcefully launched from the drop rails. 
 
 More in a bit.
