HERTA SPACE STATION, SUPPLY ZONE
A train glided into the Railway Platform of the Herta Space Station, a starship adrift on the Star Rail, hovering near the Blue planet where Herta, Genius Society Member #83, delved into the mysteries of the universe. Speaking of the Genius Society, one of its most illustrious members had just arrived.
She was an elegant scholar, a paragon of refinement, her presence a symphony of grace. Highly respected and deeply admired among biological researchers, her achievements had carved indelible paths in the annals of science. Genius Society Member #81, Ruan Mei.
Her heels echoed against the platform's cold surface, each step a quiet declaration of her unmatched poise, overshadowing the throng of researchers who crowded the platform.
Ruan Mei’s gaze wandered to the horizon, where the Blue planet loomed like a distant dream. Her eyes locked onto it as though seeing it anew, despite the countless times it had graced her sight.
Her eyes then drifted back and she sighed softly.
"I was daydreaming again."
The words slipped from her lips, a whisper to the void. Her face remained composed, marked only by the faintest smile and a subtle furrowing of her brows.
Among the sea of faces, she spotted someone familiar approaching. A small smile graced her lips.
"We meet again, Trailblazer."
"Isn't it curious, how we can somehow... understand one another? How a language unites us all?"
"I find it a fascinating thought... much like the enigma of space itself."
"I once dreamt of capturing a fragment of space, to dissect it, to unveil the very essence of our galaxies and planets."
With deliberate steps, Ruan Mei moved to the platform's edge, her eyes gazing into the infinite expanse where stars hung like jewels in the velvet sky, each striving to outshine the other.
"I imagine it—clarity distilled, ethereal in its transparency."
She shook her head softly, turning back to the Trailblazer with a serene smile.
"Ah, forgive me, I was lost in my thoughts again."
