A chance encounter on a mission of exploration. An expedition to an alien vessel. An outcome that defies explanation...
All I wanted was to sleep. No sensorium, no wrabbles washing over me. No drug-induced, pain-tinged hibernation. Just a deep peaceful sleep.
Halfway into our mission of exploration, we stumbled upon a petal ship rising from the plumes of a gas giant’s atmosphere. The captain tasked us to explore. We roused, prepared, and landed without expectations, previous visits to these massive alien vessels bearing little fruit.
I disconnected from the sensorium to repair damaged sub-modules on my analytics pallet.
What happened next even I never anticipated...
Genre: Science Fiction
