Excerpt from Koshka

The cockpit's panoramic window stretches before them, offering an unobstructed view of Drosar's rust-colored surface. The massive StellarBloom Solutions fleet hangs in orbit like a swarm of metallic insects, their hulls gleaming in the light of the system's distant sun. Dozens of smaller vessels dart between the capital ships and the planet's surface, their engine trails creating a web of luminescent paths through the void. "They're earlier than expected," Eren observes, pressing her palm against the transparent surface. The window automatically adjusts its temperature to match her body heat, preventing condensation from forming. "Look at the northern pole." A massive plume of orange and red erupts from Drosar's surface, the controlled detonation part of StellarBloom's terraforming process. The fire blooms outward in a perfect circle, its edges precisely contained by invisible energy barriers. Even from orbit, they can see the transformation beginning as the flames reshape the planet's barren landscape. Ash steps closer, her shoulder brushing against Eren's. Her biosynthetic eyes zoom in on the activity below, capturing every detail of the operation. "Their new ignition technology is impressive. The burn pattern shows a fifteen percent increase in efficiency compared to previous methods." Transport ships continue their steady rhythm between the fleet and the surface, their holds filled with terraforming equipment and personnel. The StellarBloom Solutions logo, a stylized flower blooming among stars, adorns each vessel's hull, the corporate markings clear even at this distance.
