[silence]

Drifting

Weightless

The immense ringed gas planet filling the field of view

[expectant]

The ship off in the distance
The young white sun partially eclipsed

The big move

Generating a steep gravity well outside the ice moon’s orbit
Barely noticeable movement towards the inner system

[awe]

Moon blurs and the surface fragments
Immense tidal forces Water

[contentment]

In time it will cool and seed the third planet

[peace]

The big sleep
