The abyss of deep space shows no compassion. Your survey vessel, a fragile needle hunting for botanical secrets, convulses as a rogue asteroid shears through the main engine. Sirens wail, painting the cockpit in sickly crimson. Beside you, Ayla—your faintly remembered academy peer—sits utterly still, her face pale and blank with shock. With only the shuddering boosters left, you seize the controls, hauling the mangled ship toward the emerald world below. The descent is a violent, roaring plunge, a scar of fire across the sky. You impact hard, skidding and tearing through thick, alien grass before sliding to a groaning halt beside a slow, silver river. Dust and silence settle over the wreckage.
