"This is Walter Bennett, speaking for the Project. It has been confirmed that as of 4:50 AM, this morning, we have discovered not one, but two habitable planets. They were unmasked by the Laika-1 space probe, which went underway on hyperdrive and Ion engines approximately five weeks ago. The planets are outside of the Solar System, at a distance of about 5 AU's. We are holding orbit now over the planets, which we have preliminarily dubbed NP-1 and NP-2, to further scan the surface for life or minerals. Thank you."
