You see it—the links of causality; they appear to you as flowing streams of silver starlight. Initially, it is but a single rivulet. However, as it reaches out into the luminiferous aether, it bifurcates, expanding exponentially towards infinity. The crashing of celestial bodies, the myriad changes in the cosmic wind, stellar interactions that take place over aeons and aeons… All is present before you. But as a piece of driftwood can only travel down a single course, so too must reality traverse causality along a determinate current. Probability is its guide, and fate the helmsman.
Over the course of billions of years (to you, a timescale barely equal to the blink of an eye), a drama of heavenly violence unfurls according to the destiny you set in motion: countless asteroids, carrying all sorts of metals and minerals, smash together and amalgamate. Sometimes, this planetary mass is shattered by the unseen weaponry propelled by nature’s catastrophic forces, only to be reformed again with a different geological configuration. Though for the most part, it slowly grows into a body of considerable size.
The planet, at some unspecified time after acquiring a stable mass, finds itself flung toward a small star about a third of its size. They collide after a few hundred thousand years. Miraculously, rather than exploding in a flash of sidereal savagery, the star merges with the planet’s core. In the process, much of the surface—then mostly rock and stone—melts, forming seas of golden lava.
The next notable event in the planet’s development is its flight through an asteroid belt. Once again, it is pelted with another barrage of cosmic flak. What is particularly interesting this time is that they contain non negligible amounts of ice crystals, buried under an epidermal layer of dirt on the asteroids’ surfaces. From this assault, islands begin forming. Some of them grow to immense continents containing rich soil.
Years of wandering the great emptiness later, this nascent world finds itself in the stable embrace of a large sun, around which it orbits from a distance of a few tens of millions of kilometres.
The conditions are ripe for lifeforms to develop. What are they?
