"The Lonely Galaxy" written in Commonthroat

Do other minds dwell among the stars? A team of six explorers sets out in a tiny sleeper ship named the Dewfall seeking an answer to that very question. After a two and a half century voyage spent in metabolic suspension, they arrive in orbit around a planet that may harbor intelligent life. Many others have made similar journeys before them only to return home as alone as when they left. But this time is different. They pick up non random radio emissions from the planet's surface. This is it! They've finally found other rational souls after crying out into the blind infinity for so long. Upon landing on the surface and alighting their craft, our brave explorers come face-to-face with… humans.
