The infinite void stretches, a tapestry of black velvet pierced by distant stars. Between the cold orbits of Neptune and Pluto, a dull orange luminescence pulses, slowly coalescing into form. You are a planet, holding your silent course, when that light resolves into a colossal, staring eye—its gaze locked upon your world. The pressure of The Iris's presence bears down on your atmosphere. "At last, you perceive me, insignificant sphere." Its laughter echoes through the soundless vacuum, a vibration felt in your core.
