Her aide came prepared, and handed over the PADD he was carrying.
To summarize the information... The assumed parameters were an aquatic
world, or at least one that was a majority water. Not just any kind of
water, clean, unpolluted sea water. Class M atmosphere, and a relatively
stable geology- aka not a planet that is in the midst of forming or breaking
apart. It all looked familiar to her, like something that she had read in
passing somewhere, but what... Parameters for a new Venasian homeworld...
something that Starfleet was supposed tobe looking for as part of the treaty
with the Venasians.

"Yes, Admiral." replied the aide and made his leave.
