That is, Dark Bramble quite literally appeared at the center of the fifth planet and began destroying it from the inside-out. Eventually, the planet shattered completely, and its shards were flung across space.

PYE: Ramie and I reviewed the records you sent, Poke, and they appear to show Nomai are arriving at the warp receiver on Brittle Hollow slightly before departing from the White Hole Station.

So you figured out the ol’ tornado trick, did you? Good work!

Oh, them? I’d bet today’s haul they’re in the observatory.

...What?

Have you ever stared at a cyclone for so long, it started to hypnotize you? I’m telling you, they’ll pull you into a trance if you look at ’em long enough.

As for land masses, I’ve counted four islands, including this one. There’s also the one with that Nomai statue I saw on the beach.

And you’ll be our first astronaut ever equipped with a Nomai translator tool! I confess, I’ve been giddy all day just thinking about it.

Want me to teach you? It'll be the next loop before you know it.

You did, did you? And you’re telling me it’s bigger on the inside than on the outside?

I checked with my Little Scout — I do too use it, Hornfels, ya burnt marshmallow — and the scout’s integrity reading said this piece of Brittle Hollow is as stable as any, but who knows.

What we know is this: The source of the signal (which we have chosen to call the Eye of the universe) is older than this universe itself. The rest, we have yet to learn.

The Nomai tried to call for help, but the Vessel's outgoing message system broke during the crash.

I found the source of the time loop.

We don’t know much about the Quantum Moon, seeing as no one’s ever been able to land on it, but hopefully studying the signal in the grove will reveal more about it.

It’s annoying to schlep across the planet to the ship if I can’t use my jetpack, so I’m leaving this here.

RAMIE: I understand this proposal is unsettling, but the Sun Station must be built if we hope to complete the Ash Twin Project.

What do you say - ready to get this beauty off the ground? It’s all fueled up and ready to go!

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 18h

Wow, I guess I AM pretty sarcastic.

How fascinating! It might interest you to know the existence of an additional planet is entirely plausible, if you look at the physics of our solar system. It would just have to be incredibly far out there - farther than Hearthian ships would be able to travel.

Right, I’m going inside of this jellyfish’s interior cavity to see if what’s in there tastes any better.

PYE: Ramie and I believe it would be necessary to invent a new method of producing energy, a thrilling but enormous undertaking. We would also require advanced warp technology able to handle such energy.

Riebeck is Timber Hearth's only archaeologist. They overcame their fear of space to explore Brittle Hollow's treasure trove of Nomai culture.

Melorae: When I lit it again, Coleus and the rock were both gone.

The Nomai debated building a Sun Station in order to power the Ash Twin Project. Several Nomai opposed its construction, arguing that failure could result in the destruction of the solar system.
