What the machines leave behind
Displaced workers salvage useful parts from obsolete machines while autonomous carriers deliver more waste. A parent planet and binary stars tower over the scrap field of a fictional moon. Reuse and practical skill persist at the edge of a society organized around continual replacement.
The imagined scene
The host system is real. All alien organisms, robots, societies and social histories are fictional. Moons, rings, terrain and weather are artistic assumptions unless specifically supported by a cited source. These images are not calibrated simulations of the sky.
The scientific anchor
Kepler-413 b is a catalogued planet orbiting two stars, with orbital period 66.262 days and radius 4.347 Earth radii. The real planet is gas-rich. The depicted solid ground is on a hypothetical satellite, not a known planetary surface. The moons, rings, living species, robots and social history are fictional. These scenes are possibilities in a story, not observations or inevitable predictions about AI.
Available measurements
Host: Kepler-413 · 2 catalog star(s) · Sub-Neptune / Neptune-size
NASA composite catalog values may combine different papers. Errors and upper/lower limits are retained. “Calculated Value” means derived or estimated. Msini is a minimum mass. Missing values are unknown. A multiple-star system’s single stellar row does not describe every component. Equilibrium temperature is not a measured surface temperature.

What about life?
A substantial volatile envelope is plausible. A habitable ocean or surface cannot be inferred from radius; atmosphere and interior research required. No confirmed life; no planet-specific biosignature literature review in this release.
