Hurtling through the void at rather fantastic speeds, a large and decidedly unnatural object approaches its next destination.

The object: the AFSP-α03 "Probehibitively Expensive", on a mission to find (and hopefully befriend) sentient life.

The destination: a promising G-type main sequence star with several planets, some which seemed like they might be orbiting at the proper distance to be promising candidates, in the long-distant past when this probe's course was finalized. 

As the vessel approaches the target star, its vast solar panels unfurl, and begin generating a rather impressive amount of electricity. 

And ensconced within the core, the crew awakens.
