Edward, deciding to be useful, goes and preps the engine for combat, attempting to maximize output temporarily.
Edward takes a good look at the engines, and decides that they could up the power by a little bit at the cost of a relatively insignificant amount of heat. Its not much of a boost, but it'll last a turn or two. Meanwhile in the ship's pilot seat, a Jackbot moves the ship slowly towards the large planet with life on it, perhaps to make scans easier to due proximity.
Techni scans planet five's moon.
The moon has a great many craters, and seems tidally locked to some extent. Nothing particularly anomalous though. No whale there or anything like that. (I'd go on about the resources but they're really not important, and I'm not feeling up to that sort of inconsequential flavor text.)
Maja narrows her scan down to just looking for the potential whale.
Maja's scan seems to sort of "bounce" off the area the whale should be around, for lack of a better description. How odd. They do get a somewhat detailed layout of the forest and its terrain though, which could potentially prove useful if a fight happens around that area.
If I can scan the organic mass on the fifth planet, scan that. Otherwise, scan one of its the planet's moons.
That's it! That organic mass is indeed anomalous enough to register as a whale! It looks to be in a sort of wide open forested glade. The ships engines fire at full power, and the crew find themselves in orbit, ready to potentially descend onto the planet.
Its up to you whether you want to go to the whale, or try to make it come to you. Either way, I'd man those weapons if I were you.

There we are. Feeling quite a bit better now. Should be back in my usual form soon enough. If you want to know what it looks like you'll need either a good scan, or to just look with your eyes. It seems relatively stationary.
