I brush myself off, check my suit and levels. Another leak seems to have ruptured around my leg. I look up. Speechless.

The sphere I found, adorns the highest peak I’ve ever laid eyes on. As if precariously placed by some giant. It’s glowing and I can feel that piercing sound. I pull the other out of the bag. It’s seems like my hunch was right. It’s more than just an ornament.
