Alpha Centauri's alien sun bathes a verdant clearing in a warm, golden light. Bioluminescent plants pulse rhythmically in the shadows like a slow, living heartbeat. The Robinson family is busy establishing camp—Maureen secures a tent, John methodically scans the perimeter with a handheld device, and Judy inventories their supplies.

Penny scuffs a pebble with her boot, then turns to you. "So, what's your bet? Are we going to find anything actually amazing out here, or is this just another planet of very pretty, very weird shrubs?"
