In the solar system there is a shining blue planet with a thin ring. Personal shuttles going in and out in quick succession while cargo ships slowly decelerating from jump with escort ships closely following to the dock of the ring. This is Earth holy land of mankind, Forever blue eternal beauty this is our home.

For Astra Sirius today was an important day. He was about to be a part of a historical event if he reached the planned destination.

He was in front of a blue planet with a 3 satellite planet. He is in a bullet-like ship with a ring around it. This ahip can travel longer, faster and has more efficient fusion reactor. The strange thing was the ship's capacitors are shot and the fusion reactor is not starting.

'Ship'll take a four days to charge back to fully functional with solar panel and backup is dead. I don't have the energy and time to start mini reactors. I'm lucky they didn't put experimental anti matter reactor or god knows what would've happened'

He started breathing fast and looked at the planet before him. He almost thought he jumped to other side of earth or mars. The planet was blue-green and there are some notable dark grey areas.

'I can see 2 moons right now'

Suddenly he realized the gravity of the planet pulling his ship into its atmosphere. He didn't notice a warning till he calmed down

'I need to use the remaining energy to do something quickly'

He had 2 options

"Orbit?"

[Negative not enough energy and trusters are unusable]

'Comms down i can't pick up anything and i don't know where i am i'll deploy satellites with drones before entering the atmosphere. I hope landing craft is working fine'

'Landing crafts seems to be unaffected from whatever the heck happened this ship.

It'll take a few hours to map the entire planet so he had to choose where to land

'Is that building? Ruin?'

What i see is High walls and ruined buildings. It must've been a city. Ruin is densly covered in trees and vines

'Wait what the fuck! This planet have civilization?'

'I hope it won't land on highly populated areas. After satellites map this planet i need to map the stars to know where this ship took me and how far I'm from the solar system.'

From his cockpit he can see his ship entering the atmosphere. Like a meteorite zooming above the sky.

We couldn't create fully sentient AI because of some restrictions. Super intelligent sentient machines? all those emotions, reactions feelings we put into them took so much toll on them. We still have a long way to go. First, they're interested in everything after a while they start to act like old people almost like someone's soul got inside them. So software companies together created an assistant AI that can help with everything from calculation and research to the construction of complex machines. They're supercomputers with some sentience to improve performance. Those two types of AI work differently but both valued highly.

'If i could get in touch with any one of our satellites scattered around half of the galaxy for exploration purposes'
