As she was speaking aloud her findings, the main display was updating to display the information for everyone, slowly filling in basic details about the planets as the information became available.<br/><br/>"One radio signal being broadcasted into the opening from Kang Xiu 1, translators are working on it. Scanning atmosphere and it is toxic, lots of sulfur dioxide," then her voice dropped in sadness, "I am detecting high levels of radiation."  There were several moments of quietness while she gathered up more information about cause of radiation, "Captain, there are signs of a nuclear explosions happening since the initial scanning of the system."<br/><br/>Looking across the bridge toward Zvitta, "Zvitta, I am picking up ships in unstable orbits, passing Tactical the scans for analysis," she informed the Andorian.  Zvitta could analysis the data on the ships much better than her.   While she could get more than adequate information about the ships on her own, Zvitta could get more and this freed up Nissillia to focus on the information coming from the planet surface.<br/><br/>"Confirmed significant damage to the planets surface by nuclear blasts," Nissillia felt the pain of a civilization dying as she gathered the information, "population down to approximately half a million spread through 18 settlements in areas of viable survival.  Large moon, but no signs of life on it."  She sighed and shook her head at all the signs of loss of life and a civilization.  This was were upholding the Primary Directive got hard.  Here was a civilization that was in need of help and they couldn't contact it and offer that help because they didn't have the proper level of development.  "Average surface temperature, 10 degrees Fahrenheit, plant life has not recovered yet from nuclear blasts."  The Andorians of the crew would probably be comfortable on Kang Xiu 1, but the rest of the crew would find the temperatures very cold.
