A Conversation

Many weeks have passed. Over that time, we have learned to communicate in a stunted fashion with the entity, whom we have named 'the Writer.' The exchange has been difficult, but the Writer's tone evokes curiosity and surprise. So as not to clutter our immediate area, it has become routine that each of the symbols 'painted' by the Writer are erased after each dialogue. Our conversation with the Writer continued for some time, until a final word appeared: "Gift." Soon after, a golden sphere appeared next to our vessel. This object behaved much differently than the previous symbols, and could be brought aboard. This was the last communication we received from the entity. Its component materials contain rich amounts of data that will take our scientists years to fully understand.
