“Belay that, MT - who the fuck unchained you to contact a remote planet?” The soft, tinkling chimes and buzz of the VR deck was replaced by the lone Gardenite’s quick tone.

As the inhabitants of the system transmitted their response, it was looped back to Cooper, who narrowed his eyes as telemetry fixed a tiny, rocky body in space. With a shift of his hand, the VR deck opened the vessel's comms as the radiowaves snapped to attention again.
