An astroarchaeologist in an armored spacesuit standing in front of a towering obsidian black monolith among the ruins of strange buildings, mottled with fractal glyphs that pulsate with bioluminescent energy on the surface of a sand-filled satellite of a giant planet. He, tablet in hand, is busy trying to decipher the alien symbols. The star, the sun of this system, emerging from behind the giant planet, casts long, sharp shadows on the lifeless surface of the dead moon.
