Kothar stood still, and Silane joined him in silence. The pair stared astounded at the enormous contraption within the room.
They had expected some kind of answer to the purpose of the giant cube, but what they found only raised more questions.
Within the very center of the enormous central chamber of the cube, was a floating rock, suspended in midair by an unknown force.
Kothar's sensors showed nothing out of the ordinary, only that the electromagnetic field was the strongest near the rock, but as to how and why it floated gently within the center of the cube, Kothar could only guess at the answer.
The rock itself was one of the most naturally breathtaking things he had seen. It looked as if it had just been pulled from the earth, all rough and jagged, a newborn treasure.
It glowed, with a warm orange light that was a brighter version of the light that spread through every corridor within the cube.
