“It’s healthier than what you’re eating,” Leftler snarked back, while glancing at Collier’s carbohydrate-loaded meal.
“At least it tastes good,” Collier returned.
“I guess it takes a discriminating palate to appreciate Vulcan cuisine.” She was about to say more, when she noticed that Enterprise had dropped out of warp and entered orbit around an M-class planet.

“I wonder if anyone lives there,”

“The atmosphere consists of 18% Oxygen, 80% Nitrogen and 2% other gases,” Lieutenant Commander Data reported.
“Close to Earth,” Lieutenant Geordi La Forge commented.
“Life signs?” the Captain asked.
“The planet has diverse ecologies in many different biomes, but there is no humanoid life, nor any indication of high technology,” Data reported.
