First Contact
In the year 2154, humanity had expanded beyond Earth. Captain Elara Myles led her crew aboard the starship Voyager on an exploratory mission to the uncharted sector X-87. As they approached their destination, the ship's sensors detected a strange signal emanating from a planet hidden in a dense nebula, its surface veiled by swirling clouds of shimmering gases. The crew prepared for landing, but the planet's atmosphere was highly toxic. Elara hesitated, contemplating the risks and rewards. With a deep breath, she decided to send in the first probe, hoping it would reveal safe passage or some other solution.
