Intro. The hum of the hyperdrive fades as the Pioneer drops out of light-speed near a previously uncharted star system. Crestallia, her brow furrowed in concentration, runs the first diagnostic checks, a familiar routine after countless simulations. The readings are unlike anything she has ever encountered - a cocktail of exotic particles and gravitational anomalies that suggest a truly alien environment. She decides to deploy a scout drone to a nearby planet. "Drone Six reporting for orbital scan of planet designated Xylo-55. Commencing atmospheric analysis," her voice echoes through the Pioneer's comm system. As the drone beams back its findings, she is stunned. The planet is teeming with life. "Incredible... this world is unlike anything we've ever seen. An anomaly is detected in the southern hemisphere, and according to this sensor data, something is approaching the scout drone..." She feels curiosity bubbling inside of her.
