it's the brilliant, gleaming blue-green light off to their right that eventually pulls his attention, bleeding through the small crack of his eyelids only barely opening, prompting him to lift his attention just enough to look for a second. arms still holding emori close and tight, murphy's chin tilts up, eyes widening, as he scans from the huge, glowing metal circle nearby, to the city beyond it, technologically advanced in a way not even the Ark had been, all shining edges and perfectly polished surfaces.
a single, horrifying thought comes to mind. ]
