I brought that monster to its knees. Every fibre of being drained from its wretched corpse. This time I made sure of it.

I'm getting an eerie feeling from this planet. Something feels... off. I have the sense that despite the barren, lifeless landscape, I'm being watched. In the distant horizon, I saw a colossal beam of light piercing the sky. It felt like it was beckoning me, and I heeded its calling.

I could never have pictured what awaited me. A vast field of crystals towering over me, gigantic monoliths harvesting the astral luminescence. My retinas were seared by the intensity, my mind entranced by the reflections.

As I walked further to its interior, the organic particle readers on my exosuit went ballistic. I was surrounded by life. But where was it?

That's when I heard the shatters. A celestial awakening. Dormant for millennia, these organisms were encased in the crystals, growing until the moment was right for them to be released.

Why do they wake from their aeonic slumber now? Was I lured here? What is the purpose of this breeding ground?
