Procyon I strikes the melancholy note of every frontier world that thought it had arrived—all weathered hab-domes and rusting relay towers pretending obsolescence is a choice rather than slow strangulation. That antenna array on the northern continent is the real story, of course; I've seen enough "decommissioned" installations across six hundred systems to know that equipment doesn't get that meticulous upkeep when it's truly mothballed, and the nervous deflection in the colonial administrator's voice only confirms what the maintenance logs probably won't. I'll file my report, note the declining budget, and let someone in the bureaucracy decide whether Procyon I is a cautionary tale about the cost of expansion or something considerably more interesting. The equatorial heat was brutal as ever, though—some things about frontier worlds never change, thank the stars.
