And with that, a glint of silver tumbles through the crown of a tree and falls to the ground with a soft thump. An unexceptional ring lies on the ground, stained with dirt. Part of a fleet of almost endless numbers of such rings, the final hope of a civilization millions, hundreds of millions of years gone, having finally found intelligent life. Intelligent life to pass down their everything to. Not just their history, culture, and technology, but their hopes, dreams, and fears too. All this to leave a remnant of themselves behind and to force the uncaring universe to remember what once was.
Whether future generations will consider this encounter to be a blessing or a catastrophe is impossible to know.
