Inside is a small quantity of the finest, driest powder, more brown than gray, more blue than green. The powder is weighed by the grain and studied close. One hundred billion bits reside inside, all of them tiny and nearly spherical, and etched with the outlines of continents and islands and icecaps. Each sphere represents a planet. One is found on 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> | ||
