Item Story

(The following records the message conveyed by the "Stellar Blackbody." This version is a translated digest of the key information, with all extraneous content omitted. Terminology that could not be understood in its original form has been rendered using our own conceptual equivalents. — Lusalim)

Dear friend from a distant world, I am glad this message has found you.
Whether our voices may ever be heard, I cannot say. But, if nothing else, they may at the very least drive away a little of this cold silence that hangs so heavily in this lonely universe.
If, by chance, one among you hears us, it means we've been captured by some exceptional gravitational force.
As such, it is my fervent hope that your civilization knows that you are not alone in this vast star-filled cosmos.
Our era may have been consigned to the past by the time this message reaches you. Pitch-black annihilation, that mortal foe of all life, carves its path across the universe.
Please, beware. We know not where you are, but we send this message in the hope that it reaches you before darkness assails.
This message may be insignificant, but it is our light.
May it embolden you, reminding you that you do not face the unknown and the darkness alone.
Shine on, if you may. A single ray of light is feeble, easily swallowed by the darkness.
But as long as another shines out before it can fade, then one day, there will surely come a ray of light that pierces the night like the dawn.

(To my "daughter," Ninnin. The key form of assistance the moon goddesses provided to our plans lies at the lunar core. You can reach this place via fissures, so do not forget to go there.)
