Touched down on Crucible Minor this morning—another scorched ball of rust and regolith, though I'll admit the iron oxide deposits catch the local star's light in a way that makes the whole surface look like it's smoldering. The radiation levels are punishing enough that we suited up in full, and I couldn't help but think of my last visit to Infernus Prime, which had at least the courtesy of geysers; this place just radiates sullen heat and the faint promise of nothing much. Still, there's something humbling about standing on a world so thoroughly hostile that it makes you feel like an intruder—which, I suppose, is exactly what I am.
