The star had already fallen below the horizon an hour ago. The entire wasteland was now covered in darkness.
Planet Leppler did not have a large enough satellite around it, so there was naturally no moon. Moreover, because it was located at the edge of the Orion Arm, there were much fewer stars that could be seen in the sky.
Only a few stars flickered in the night sky, enveloping the endless wasteland in a hazy light green light.
Two of the three-lipped hamsters unique to Planet Leppler crawled out of the underground hole and looked up at the starlight. Then they rustled together and hid behind a rock. After chirping a few times, they began to do something happy and inappropriate for children.
Just as they were immersed in their activity, rumbling sounds suddenly sounded from afar.
