Obtained Strange Alloys mission on Europa, of all places.
[out of character content will be bracketed as such]
[netlog set to verbose, strange alloys is only mission objective]
Feeling overly optimistic- I set out to the nearest POI I ran into on the edge of the City. Oddly the POI scan regions were very small. Went in to investigate.
Nothing too interesting- just a data site:

Scouting around a bit, discovered a downed probe (ancient pioneer style), an old wreck of a ship with nothing interesting, and a warehouse:

of course- a Tea warehouse. Honestly- I never understood the cultural fascination with drinking this "Tea". It actually kind of disgusts me, if you think about it. Follow me on this: they cultivate the trees, trim the leaves, carefully dry and grind them up. ... then rinse them off with hot water, throw the leaves away.. and drink the dirty rinse water. eww.
[ on a more meta not- the point of this was to generate a few POIs to see if the netlog tried to load metal alloy, and maybe came up with any errors- no errors or strange netlog behavior]
Thinking of my exploration times, and checking the notes I took of unusual planetary features... one of them jumped out at me as strange enough to warrant the trip. I'm off to Aulin.
