Touched down on Acrux IV this morning and immediately understood why it's been flagged as uninhabitable—the wind alone could strip paint off a hull, and the permafrost extends so deep I doubt anything's stirred below the surface in millennia. Still, there's a austere beauty to those vast ice plains, and the mineral deposits glinting through the cracks reminded me why I bothered with the detour. No signs of previous settlement or survey markers, which is almost refreshing after three months navigating every charted station between here and Kepler-442; sometimes the blank spaces are the honest ones.
