*A copper box with a red lid is discovered, its lid dented, one hinge shattered. Inside is a small quantity of the finest, driest powder, more brown than gray, more blue than green.

Each sphere represents a planet. One is found of Earth, Mars, and Venus. Many studying presume that the box is a message of how minuscule all of creation is, and some wonder who delivered this message, and why.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/14)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Venus#Ghost_Fragment:_Ishtar_Sink|Ghost Fragment: Ishtar Sink]]''</ref>
