Elsewhere in the solar system, a small atmospheric probe races high into the upper atmosphere of Neptune. The automated probe then sends a short tight beam burst of data back down to the waiting life forms in the lower cloud layers below. The probe soon returns to the planet’s lower atmosphere and is recovered by a waiting airship the size of an aircraft carrier.
