[The ocean seems to go on endlessly into the horizon. The red star burns bright far above your head, even as the sunrise starts to blot it out

At the base of the telescope are numerous carvings embedded into white sandstone - strange shapes and lines that form constellations, like that of s star chart. A red gem sits firmly positioned somewhere on each carving, with a crude picture carved below the charts.

While most of the charts seem to be random, three will stand out to Void Archive. All have the red gem firmly in the same place to the east, with the same silhouette of a landmass underneath.

One constellation draws two points - to the south and the northeast. The silhouette is carved with a circular set of letters you can somehow read: UN

A second draws two different points - to the southeast and the northwest. Its letters: DT

And the third, two final points - to the north and the west. Its letters: DSY]
