A single space cruiser accelerated through the orbit of Arishok IV , seemingly unaware of the gravitational pull of the planet. The ship was quite massive for it's class, eclipsing the sun as it overtook the horizon. It was a good thing this planet was said to have been mostly barren, devoid of native sentient life.
"Dow..." In the bridge of this single ship, the crew stared in seeming disbeleif at the front display module. It wasn't showing anything particularly fascinating, besides their complete demise. The rocky surface drew closer and closer, ants turning to boulders, boulders to mountains, deep lines swifly stretching into caverns cutting across the crust.
Then, it crashed, sending a ripple of dust through the atmosphere of the planet. As for the crew, they had been lost five minutes prior. In his last moments of coherence, the captain had sent a cry transmission shooting through space and time. It was but a few bumbling words, and was then cut out.
"Uh....Dow...." Echoed through space, riding a viral transmission and looking for a mind.
