  Prompt: A derelict reconnaissance skimmer hangs in a decaying 0.2c orbit, its arc-lens hull warped by relativistic micro-impacts. The cockpit canopy is shattered outward; the pilot seat sits eerily empty. The vessel drifts above a dim, ice-banded world. Graviton lensing halos shimmer along fractured hull plates. Burned-in trajectory scars streak the fuselage, while faint smear trails mark the skimmer’s near-light passage. A forensic stillness surrounds the wreck. The silence feels pressurized—an absence too intentional. Instrument panels flicker with dying power; warning glyphs loop endlessly. The void seems watchful, as if expecting the skimmer’s last log to continue. A data recorder blinks weakly, replaying the final entry: "multiple shadows on approach." Exterior sensor booms twitch in microgravity. Hull fragments drift past, frozen in slow arcs. The orbit decays by centimeters, stability barely holding. Cosmic surrealism, disciplined speculars, dynamic composition, volumetric haze, radiant gradient haze, hard surface detailing, heroic framing, glass refraction warp, atmospheric depth, void backdrop isolation, cinematic tension. As the skimmer rotates, its cracked arc-lens canopy catches starlight—refracting it into multiple ghost silhouettes behind the empty pilot seat. --mod cosmic surrealism, --mod volumetric haze, --mod radiant gradient haze, --mod elevated geometry, --mod glyph light, --mod disciplined speculars, --mod dynamic composition, --mod heroic framing, --mod atmospheric depth, --mod light volume, --mod glass refraction warp, --mod ambient neon, --mod nebular haze, --mod cinematic tension, --mod void backdrop isolation, --mod hard surface detailing

TTA LOG ENTRY 77-C
ARC-LENS SKIMMER “VINDICATOR-12”

Location: Polar decay orbit, Harlon’s Ice • Catalog Ref: HX-4/19/7
Status: Reconnaissance craft — abandoned, anomalous telemetry.

We made visual contact with the wreck at 0540 shipboard time. At first it looked like a drifting hull fragment caught in the planet’s ragged halo. Only on close approach did the structure resolve into a full skimmer—triple-engine Arc-Lens class, the kind used by survey teams working beyond mapped lanes.

The orbit is collapsing. Not dramatically, just… inevitably. A few centimeters loss every cycle. If left untouched, the craft will burn within the month.

Hull temperature: near ambient.
Impact signature: relativistic dust scoring, consistent with a vessel having sustained 0.2c traversal for an extended period.
No power traces except for intermittent panel flicker.

The canopy is shattered outward.

Inside: pilot restraints undone. No crew remains aboard.

ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS

Graviton lensing halos shimmer across the cracked arc-lenses. Trajectory scars—burned-in, linear, parallel—run the length of the fuselage. The navigation booms twitch sporadically, reacting not to us but to some residual signal or phantom sensor impulse.

Micro-debris clouds drift around the wreck, trapped in the same slow tumble—shards frozen in arcs that imply no blast, no impact. Just abandonment.

Most troubling is the data recorder. It is cycling one sentence on loop:

“Multiple shadows on approach.”

The transmission is degraded but unmistakable. No secondary log. No tactical flag.

The last visual frame contains only starfield distortion—lens-stretch artifacts that the analyst team cannot reconcile with the reported vector. Shadows at relative 0.2c should not track, cluster, or approach anything.

Yet the pilot clearly believed they did.

VISUAL PHENOMENON

As the skimmer rotates across the limb light, the fractured canopy refracts the starlight into split silhouettes—three, sometimes four—moving against the cockpit bulkhead. Optical trick, most likely. A grave-reflection in broken glass.

Most likely.

TTA RECOMMENDATION

Recovery is not advised.
Hull instability, unexplained telemetry artifacts, and the psychological impact of the recorder loop make Vindicator-12 unsuitable for museum tow.

Mark for catalog preservation only.

If the decay orbit holds, the wreck will remain visible for several more weeks before atmospheric drag brings it down. Let it fall. Some stories are best left uncollected.
