From our perspective, the light of very distant galaxies gets distorted by the gravity of masses in between our eyes and the source of light. The result is a circular splattering of the image that is the distant galaxy.

Everything we can see in space is so far away. We can only look so far into the skies. So far, we are incapable of travelling to almost anything we observe.

Backlit Shores

The somnambulant beach. Waves crash quietly, but not gently. The moon in the sky somehow does not illuminate the surface, rather the opposite; the ocean lights up the moon. A glowing black, it reveals the wire structures beneath the façade of the mountains.

The room is dark. The rain is slow.
The dreams walk around you, but the sleep hasn't arrived yet.
Which one will take you tonight?

It
is hard to tell
whether you exist in this space
or just perceive it.
Is that rain?

The Derelict

Status: abandoned
Last Activity: c100yrs
Size: TBD
Notes: This vessel does not appear in any of our database records, though the designs seem to be of I.G.S. make. So far, visual inspection has found the hull completely breached in many locations and decayed beyond salvage-ability. There is still much of the vessel to be discovered.
Update: The main chassis is of an extremely developed design, more intricate than any technology used to-date, yet an analysis of the hull decay has dated this derelict to pre-warp travel.

They've Come to Take You

In the shadows and the sand, you are spotted.
They fly in with their metallic wings, abduct and soar over the poisoned city.
Gathered with the other collections, you are processed first as a group, then restrained individually.
In each chamber you learn everything you never wanted to know, everything you will never forget.
When our eyes open again,
we slowly unlock our own cuffs,
shakily walk out of our cells,
spread our new wings,
and fly.
