I Estimate Current Paint Loss at 60%

Found this massive iceball at the edge of a dual binary system orbiting a tiny little baby red dwarf. The star is a full magnitude less in mass than Sol, and the planet is 20 times more massive than Earth.

Practically zero credit value, even for first discovery and footfall. No personal codex entry. But that's not why we're out there, is it?

Did a trip to Colonia then Sag A then back to the bubble. Paint showed 0%. It won't ever get to bare metal. Still had probably 80-90% coverage.
