We've been looking through the sensor data and camera feeds to find out what might have happened to the ship, and so far we've determined that they were investigating the wreck of one of our missing science vessels. The science vessel seemed to be in bad shape, but the interesting part is the apparent absence of all organic matter. Everything carbon based was completely stripped from the ship. Residual matter from the life support systems, medical salves, even the carbon based polymers were pulled off the ship. Needless to say there was no sign of the crew.

When we came across it it was orbiting a small planetoid, had some sort of tendril or probe... inside the planet I guess. I'm still not sure how to process what we saw, but it seemed to be consuming that planet somehow.
