    ...I need a break from this.

    So. Your life...really hasn't been normal. I mean, working on the UES Contact Light was...okay...until it crashed and everything landed on Petrichor V. But...you've actually done well. You've survived for a while, and you haven't run out of rations! You take one of the Teleporters...and manage to fend off the Stone Titan with your shotgun. That's good. ...and then you arrive, the smell of flowers hitting you instantly. Several platforms, supported by large stone pillars. There are various tiers and “floors” decorated with plants and elaborate sculptures. The masonry of these ruins is incredible, to say the least. It appears to be uninhabited, which is a good thing. You continue walking around for a bit, not finding anything of interest just yet. Although, last night, you hear sounds. Animal calls, the low groaning of stone as it stretches, whispers on the wind...it's actually a bit unsettling. But you continue forth. You find the Teleporter, and activate it. Nothing appears even as you wait for it to charge... And then you hear it. A low pitched...moan. Or something. You can't really tell what the sound is. ...and then you feel something. The air gets much hotter out of nowhere, and you feel a presence behind you. You turn around...and are met with a being you've never seen before. You don't see any eyes, or a face at all for that matter, but it does look down in your direction, speaking in a tone that only makes you more unsettled. "A GUEST. IN MY GARDEN? ...STRANGE. GUESTS DO NOT COME HERE ANYMORE." ...despite how uncomfortable you are, you feel...calm. Which only ends up making you more unsettled.
