((rewatching? Or just watching normally?*Considers Gurren Lagann to be the best anime of all time.*))A small capsule flies through space, hurtled away by an incredible explosion of light and energy. It soars through the cosmos, unhndered by gravity or friction, passing many a star at it's high speed. Eventually, however, the capsule nears a planet that is currently relevant, and the planet's gravity well swings it into orbit. Like a yoyo on a string, the capsule catapults around the planet, gravity making it's orbit progressively smaller. Eventually it enters the atmosphere, flames exploding from the sides as it streaks across the sky like a falling star, paint and engravings burning off but the powerful metal from which it's created not budging to the tremendous heat. With an enormous explosion and a tremor of the earth, the capsule eventually lands in a plot-relevant location, glowing bright orange from it's exposure to immense heat. However, the metal seems to cool almost unnaturally fast as a hissing can be heard from the capsule's surface, the air around it a shimmering haze. The capsule, upon inspection, is man-sized, and completely dark purple, a single circular energy lock in the center projecting an energy shield around it, which is what protected it from the explosion, as well as it's decent through the atmosphere. Those that have fought in the wars of the multiverse for longer would recognize the hue of the material, as well as the appearance of the lock, as trademark of the Cucumber Empire.
((What planet is this happening to?))
