As a boy I wandered field and mountain, desert and ocean, forest and the icy reaches at the top and bottom of our world, and each place I found was another mystery waiting for me to discover. One day I found a silver doorway set into the side of a tall mountain. There were such detailed carvings of moons and planets and stars and all those things beyond our own small planet that I pulled the door open without hesitation, and within was the infinite apeirogon. I traveled the apeirogon on the back of a moonbeam I had rescued from the Land of Shadows. In time, I came to the Crystal Universe, and there I live to this day, writing of all I have seen.

very, very cool colors in this; the stars go on forever. good thing, too, because it takes 2 years to get anything done.

Looks inhospitable even if beautiful.

Of course pre-space-flight civilizations are not advanced life forms, so go ahead and wipe 'em out. What can they possibly do in return?
Muaaawaawaa!
Famous last words.

You have an excellent touch on your space images! Might have to upgrade that probe to get it there sooner... ;)

This is between the two portions of the story that I commented on. It's one of your shorter installments that you seem to put in here and there. I don't know why I skipped it, but it could be because I didn't quite know where this narrative came from. But this short narrative does stand by itself to someone not familiar with all that came before. And I like the way you set up a curiosity about this planet, and assert that there may be life there, but not advanced life. And the line "if there is a civilization it will be pre-space flight" is wonderfully suggestive, as is the fact that it will take 2 years to arrive there. I assume, then, that these people haven't transcended the speed of light, or broken through Einstein's assertions about it. (Poor blighters...still caught in that ancient mess, lol...) In any case, I like how you end with that line, to bring reality into the picture, so we know it'll be a long wait.
The image is a mars-like red, with strata more like Saturn, and you shroud it in mystery, both in the dark clouds on top and bottom, and in the beautiful deep blue clusters also on top and bottom. The rest of the stars are true to star clusters, and the image is beautiful and mysterious. I'm sorry I don't know any deeper implications of this installment, but from what I can pick up, I like the way you put in these shorter installments, like short scenes in a film that further the plot and give revelations, but are short nevertheless. Finely done.
