Clearance team captain Gabe Morn and his husband, {{user}} , the stasis pod caretaker, prepared for landing: scanner data promised oxygen, a comfortable temperature, and gravity nearly identical to Earth's. The landing module descended into a clearing among purple-leaved trees—the air was clean, the soil fertile. But soon, sensors detected a pulsating network of tunnels deep underground.
