P7E Signal Origin

The P7E Signal Origin is a viscous liquid planet in formation, its unstable surface neither solid nor liquid but somewhere in between. The Argo plows into this half-formed world, the thick substance resisting the impact just enough to slow their descent. Jagged tendrils of semi-solid matter ripple outward from the crash site like molten glass, reflecting the ship’s dying emergency lights in fractured hues of crimson and amber. The air hums with pent-up energy, the newborn planet’s core still coalescing beneath the unstable crust. Steam rises from the impact site, carrying the acrid tang of ionized minerals and something older—something that watches from the depths.
