"Sure, I'd be happy to show you around the village or the planet if that's what you mean. If you mean the rest of the solar system I was supposed to launch my own exploration soon."

"Any and either! But the village or planet seems a good place to start."

"The village is closest since we're already here. Though it's pretty small compared to the planet let alone the solar system. Would you like me to show you our museum first or do you want to get outside?"

"The museum would be very interesting!"

"Well that's easy it's right down the ramp." Sylvite leads the way down the ramp and then shows off the first exhibit. Zenith might recognize it. "This is one of the first pieces of Nomai writing we found it got us started towards deciphering their language and it's part of why we were so well positioned to translate your language."

She examines it, making appreciative comments (and recording, of course) and asking a bit more about its history and cultural role.

(And, onward of course...)

"This is one of many pieces that references something the Nomai called the Eye of the Universe. It seems to have been really important to them. That spiky symbol is how they represented it. This wall section is from an installation on The Attlerock, our planet's moon that seems to have been intended to locate the eye apparently without success."

"Moving on, we have another example of Nomai ceramics, this seems to have been a container of some kind, we're not sure what the purpose of it was. It's also worth noting that while these ceramics are ubiquitous everywhere we've found Nomai constuction we've never found any tools obviously related to making them."

"Next we have a complete Nomai skeleton. For some reason we've found a lot of Nomai skeletons in their settlements just scattered mostly haphazardly. It seems like something unexpected happened because there's very little sign that the skeletons were moved after they died. We have no idea what it is that might have happened though."

"Fourth, we have an example of our reverse engineering efforts. This is what we call a 'little scout' it's a small probe we launch to ensure that areas are safe before going there personally. It's equipped with reverse-engineered Nomai teleportation tech to let us safely retrieve it if it's in a dangerous area."

"This is another piece of Nomai technology we've salvaged. It does something to gravity we're not exactly sure how but if you get close enough to it you'll fall towards the wall. The ramps help you switch more smoothly."

"Okay..."

She goes closer, focusing a few instruments and also mentally trying to get a feel for when and how suddenly the gravity switches.

It switches pretty suddenly, about a meter and a half away from the crystal. Somehow it effects her entire body or none of it. Depending on how exotic her sensors are she might be able to figure out that it is directly manipulating gravity but only for nearby objects.

"Huh!"

Some of her sensors are indeed exotic - some supers have very strange powers, after all, and it turns out that super-made equipment is both well calibrate to detecting weird physics and also very sturdy, especially if she's teleporting everywhere with it.

She plays with the boundary a bit, grinning.

The crystal's effect applies to entire objects based on the location of their center of mass. If she enters it's area of effect it also does something to rotate her around to be orientated in the same way relative to the apparent gravity, reversing this effect when she moves out of its range.

"This is cool!"

"It is, we've been able to tweak the range a bit. There's also a second mode that we call lift mode where they move objects in a specific direction at a specific speed towards a specific endpoint. We use that on some of our spaceships."

"Very neat - some supers can do effects like this, but we've yet to get it fully incorporated into any reliable technologies."

"Yeah, Nomai stuff is incredible, I wonder sometimes if they did something to cause some of the weirder phenomena in our solar system but it doesn't quite add up."

"What's some of the weirder phenomena?"

"Every planet in our system has something... odd. There's the underground siphons here on Timber Hearth, the super-tornados on Giants Deep, the black hole in the core of Brittle Hollow, The sand transfer between the Hourglass Twins and then there's Dark Bramble.... the plant that destroyed a planet and took it's place."

"Huh."

"Does the Dark Bramble also threaten anything approaching it?"

"It seems mostly static now, we check it with our telescopes regularly and it doesn't appear to have grown for longer than I've been alive."

She nods.

"There's a lot of what I'd consider physical anomalies in your system, actually - the scale is very different from what I'm used to, for one."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

She summarizes the differences she's noticed in gravity, and the general size and scale of planets and the distances between them - her solar system is massive, with proportionately far more empty space.

"Wow... I wonder why things are so different. And I wonder what else is different, if something fundamental like gravity works differently..."

She hums, nodding. "I'll collect as much data as I can - sadly, I'm not a physicist, but the ones back home are pretty smart."
