This planet looks

candied. Machines

crawling its granulated

surface. Three-legged

metal walkers. They're

lasering the planet,

cutting the crystals

above the roots,

leaving enough

to grow back. Come

again in a few

million years. It takes

about the same amount

of time for a

crystal to form as it

does a star to die.
