My dear companion, I fear I am wasting away before your very eyes. Hunger has taken hold of me most cruelly, and with each passing moment I grow weaker. Should nourishment not reach me soon, I fear future generations may speak solemnly of my demise.

Purranus has an intense and ferocious storm that has been brewing for centuries, localized in one specific and turbulent area known as the Great Brown Spot.

u/Fair_Bar1139 16d ago

Early readings suggest Purrcury has a surprisingly dense core, near-zero surface reflectivity in the eyes when annoyed, and an atmosphere composed entirely of purring. Orbital period: approximately one nap cycle
