The rust-colored badlands of Albireo II stretch endlessly beneath a perpetually hazy sky—a world so thoroughly desiccated that even the wind seems tired of blowing across it. I've crossed enough dead worlds to recognize the subtle signatures of ancient hydrothermal activity in the canyon walls, which means water *was* here once, and that's always worth documenting, even if what remains is little more than geological memory. Still, there's a certain austere beauty to a landscape that's given up pretense; no atmosphere to hide behind, no false promises of discovery. After the chaos of Kepler Station's supply requisitions, I'll take the honest emptiness.
