Our [[Black Fleet|true enemy]] left [[ | Our [[Black Fleet|true enemy]] left [[The Lunar Pyramid|something]] buried here, to watch and to whisper. I have gathered these clues—the logs of a doomed Golden Age expedition. They had no idea what they’d found. Their encryption will be no match for your Ghost. Learn what you can, swiftly. The [[Hive]], too, are fascinated by [[Darkness|this power]]—and whatever fascinates the Hive means death. Discover what they plan, and we will silence their prayers forever! | ||

[[Tanis|Tanis | [[Tanis Lee|Tanis]] was right. It can’t be described without diminishing it. A black sphere—nothing could be simpler—and yet it is awesome, unspeakably complex, compactly infinite, full of as many things as it could possibly contain. We cannot spend long near it. Its electromagnetic flux is too subtle to burn through the fieldweave in our suits or cause any real harm, but we can’t assume it’ll stay that way. If the field spikes, it could force our nerves to fire, even drive us into seizure. High-Tesla magnetic fields do strange <u>things to the mind</u>. | ||
