The void stretches endlessly until a new solar system emerges from the dark. Driven by a longing for warmth and conversation, an alien planet drifts into the gravitational pull of the Sun. It passes silently through the Asteroid Belt, finding no one. Suddenly, a voice echoes from behind. The planet turns to find two massive gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, looming in the starlight. Jupiter peers down, asking, 'Who are you...?' The alien planet stares up at the colossal figures, suspended in the quiet tension of first contact.
