Something stirred in the Nothing. The Nothing was absolute, it was a cold dark infinite expanse of blank space. There was no light, no warmth, no sound, no gravity, no time, no stimuli, or nothingness. The Something which stirred could not be called a consciousness, not yet, as it did not have coherent thoughts. It's Self was scattered through the Nothing...

Two polar ice caps, atmosphere of methane gas, from the readings the planet was obviously dead. The drone did note one irregularity though.

Notice: There is sex but it plays second fiddle to the story. I hope you will enjoy both. ---- "We use lids on this ship," I told the Professor a little too sharply, who apparently had the tea maker figured out. It was unlikely to happen on a space station but if the artificial gravity should die, I didn't want badly contained tea shorting out my circuits....
It is true a hefty body of folks tend to refrain - guess they inherited the leaning in refraining from voicing many reasons to favor this time of year.
