 * “The meteor… Unbelievable. The iridescence, but wherefrom? Oh, the light!”

 * “Screams… I dare not look. I must protect her… God spare me from this darkness!”
 * “The twilight… has lifted… How? This glare, it’s near… The colours!”
 * “This dust… it burns my eyes, my lungs. This lambent rock… It’s alive!”
