The atmospheric readings from Xihe IV are nothing short of magnificent—a roiling tempest of methane and ammonia that cycles through chromatic shifts I've never quite witnessed before, casting the whole world in bruised purples and sickly greens. I've logged over two centuries of planetary surveys, and the sheer kinetic violence of those upper-atmosphere currents makes even my earliest ventures to the gas giants of the Kepler Expanse feel tame by comparison. There's something humbling about a world so thoroughly indifferent to our instruments, so utterly committed to its own meteorological fury. I'll need to send an automated probe deeper, though I suspect the deeper layers will only prove more hostile—and infinitely more worth documenting.
