Farwatch

Tundra
Cold outer world with decommissioned deep-space observatories. Once the cutting edge of Solarian astronomy, now maintained by a skeleton crew that mostly catalogs their own equipment's decay.
Returned to Farwatch today—those magnificent observation domes are looking decidedly less magnificent these days, their mirror arrays dulled by decades of neglect and what I suspect is a rather determined population of frost-resistant microbes. The irony isn't lost on me: a station built to study the cosmos now serves primarily as a monument to obsolescence, its skeleton crew filing reports on sensor degradation with the resigned precision of gardeners documenting a dying orchard. Still, there's something oddly moving about the place—these instruments once pushed the boundaries of what we could see, and their slow surrender to entropy feels less like failure than honest aging.
