The Odyssey discovered a planet made entirely of crystal, its surface glittering in the starlight. Captain Elena Vasquez stood on the bridge, her eyes on the viewscreen.
"Command, this is Vasquez. I've found a crystal planet."
"Copy, Odyssey. What's its composition?"
"Pure silica. But there's something else. A resonance."
Kaelen appeared beside her. "It's a First Ones' archive. The crystals store information."
"Can we access it?"
"Yes. But we need to interface with them."
The Builder connected to the crystal network. Images flooded the display—the history of the First One
