Maplevale II turned out to be precisely what the survey charts promised—a temperate terrestrial world with unremarkable atmospheric composition and no signs of sentience or previous visitation. After the stellar nurseries of the Carina Expanse, I confess the place felt rather like filing paperwork in duplicate. Still, there's something to be said for a world that simply *is*, without catastrophe or mystery; the crew needed the rest, and I needed the reminder that not every discovery requires existential contemplation.
