Summary
Slate frantically ran up the stairs towards the observatory, looking around.
“Mica?” Mica was also just as shaken.
“Slate? What was that?” Their face was frightened as they stared at them.
“I don’t-”
But they cut themselves off as they heard something… almost like whispering at first. But it was getting louder, and Slate realized it sounded like whooshing air.
And what was that bright, blue light?
And why was it getting hotter all of a sudden?
Slate suddenly gasped as a roar washed over them. They frantically looked around them, seeing that the sky was too bright. Impossibly so. It lit up the entire night sky so much that they couldn't see the stars anymore.
But then, it was gone.
Slate stared in confusion and terror at the sky for a few seconds, as if they were waiting for the strange light to return, before they tilted their head back down and looked around frantically.

You can't stop and wait to finish this. You can't afford to lose steam, to begin to think of any excuse to get you out of doing this. The Nomai's legacy rests on your shoulders. Nothing can get in your way.

Summary
While the rest of the village prepares for the winter season, Hal seems to be having pronoun trouble, and only their friends can help. Translating the Nomai language is proving to be a challenge, especially for a group of idiots who've never heard of gender. Meanwhile, the hatchlings outside play an ever-growing game, and it seems Chert's been sucked into the black hole of chaos. Can Hal keep cool, keep their stomach, and keep their wits about them as they push forward in the name of linguistics?
Created as a companion to art pieces by @pancakemolybdenum and @desisthegame / @pebblewsa on Tumblr. Written for the Collapsed Stars Reverse Mini Bang event hosted by the community-run Outer Wilds Events discord.

Summary
You swim towards the surface that glimmers with speckles of light. The blue sky is there. You can see it. You will make this loop have a purpose. You will not give up this loop. You need to get out of the river. You need to fix your ship.
You need to get out of Timber Hearth.
Your head breaches through the surface.
You gasped for air.
"Hey, buddy, you find something good down there?" your best friend said. Hal crouched by the river, running their finger through the water to cause ripples. They offered you a small smile.
