The silence was nearly deafening as the man looked down at the unfamiliar ground beneath his feet. The sky above was bright blue when from high above that it appeared green. Hence this world's name. Veridian, Veridian III. The third planet in this uncharted solar system. Though unfamiliar, the ground to him was hallowed. Hallowed for two reasons. A great man and a great ship, his ship, perished here. Liquid regret flowed from his eyes and he made no effort to stop the tears. No one was around to see him anyway. Sadly he gazed at the soil that would now hold his most loyal companion of 8 years.
