[Open] [Location: A rooftop garden] All Things Devours
On the edge of the livable complexes in Sojourner--on the rooftop of a dispenser-laden building, in the shadow of another and tucked out of the way--there is a garden. It's unremarkable, by Sojourner standards: a perfect, not-at-all-surreal set of concentric squares, with hedges bordering each level and four walkways that pierce the corners. Everything is built to a larger-than-human scale, including the flat ground-level fountain and the enormous stone sundial next to it.
The fountain goes on and off at irregular intervals, like many other fixtures in Sojourner at the moment; the sundial tracks no regular circuit of the 'sun.' The grass, somehow, remains green, and a little drier and slipperier than anyone remembers Earth grass to be. There are no walls at the edge of the rooftop garden, meaning that anyone who strays too close to the brink risks falling several storeys to the ground.
The garden is unremarkable, except for one thing: all triangulation of gravity incidents seems to point to here. Every ripple of low or high gravity that travels through the ship seems to begin at this place. This is the epicenter. And thanks to the community-gathered data, this fact is now very obvious.
Few people visit the garden, generally. It's out of most people's way. But it is accessible, and it is currently empty.
[OOC: This is a metaplot thread for those who want to resolve and interact with the ending of the gravity/darkness plot! Feel free to post your characters here at the garden, and they can interact with one another and the environment--we'll be posting more information/reactions from the environment as you variously investigate things--and good luck with the puzzle. :D]
