I LOVED Alien Planet - Darwin IV! Are you suggesting to have the same basic thread but just update it to a probe that actually would have feelings and think? That could be interesting! Imagine being an AI probe that has something approaching a human intellect and your birth is being exiled from your home world and being sent to space, decades of nothingness and then those last weeks or months on a horrible Hell world with no hope of returning, all in search of a microbe. Oh, I can see that. Why did I ever suggest that?! I might just write a piece from a probe's perspective in an alien world... just think of the horrors...
