There was DNA on that planet along with earth-like proteins and no other life in this universe had been discovered using even a similar system as Earthbore biology. We had to send someone to dig deeper. Two scientist were chosen.
Katherine Dillinger was the first chosen. She was a thin, big-eyed fiery redhead and an equally fiery drive to learn.

Alyssa Caldwell's name was announced the next day. She was 34, a member of the new anglo race. Her hair and skin was white and her eyes, an almost shining blue. She was chosen as the crew lead, having been in science since 16 and still young enough to embark on an interstellar mission of this magnitude.
