The Orun — First-Contact Reconstruction

What little can be assembled about the silent power that holds the deep field. No envoy, no captured hull, no shared word — only sensor returns, the shapes that came out of the dark, and the damage they left on the Endurance. The translator returns nothing. Read this as the record of an encounter, not an understanding.

The name is the crew's — the sensors render a pressure-signature no human throat can make, and the watch shortened what they could not say to a sound they could. Everything in this sheet is a shape in the dark and the dent it left behind. The one line worth reading twice is the last one on the drawing, and it is the line the assessment is least sure of.
