The following account was recorded in the agent's log during your transmission: A pale, lunar-like landscape stretches out, punctuated by jagged crystal formations that seem to be reflecting the Ainur's Music of the Spheres from Tolkien's mythos. Umm, the air's thick with the scent of dry earth and has this heavy, electric charge that's making my skin prickle. Shattered remains of ancient astronomical instruments are scattered across the ground, and the sky above is a deep, foreboding grey, with a perfectly stationary vortex cloud hovering above a massive, crystalline structure that appears to be... breathing. Water's seeping from the structure, collecting into intricate patterns that mirror the orbit of the Cygnus X-1 binary system.
