thinking about, my setting's humans' first celestial encounter
i dont have the energy to write a story for this (though i want to), but i'm imagining them thinking it's dead or was never alive to begin with (lots of inorganic parts, far too large to have been alive, in the void of space) and moving to get a sample, when suddenly one eye moves to stare at the probe sent to grab a little bit
and then maybe it just like. open palm smacks the probe like a gnat before going back into its resting pose
