Pierced

The Spacepiercer Craft was launched back nuclear power was the best we had, and so it used radioactive decay as a power source. And this meant that it would eventually decay and go dark. We knew it would be soon, but every hour, we listened and hoped for another datapack.


That was a month ago, and it was still sending messages.


While everyone was pleased, eventually we got concerned, and asked for a self-diagnostic check.


We were expecting a 0.05% power level remaining message.


It said 95%.


We checked our telescopes, and then saw it was coming back to us.
