The sterile, cold air of the lunar laboratory pressed in from all sides. Phosphophyllite stood within a semicircle of fellow gems and Lunarians—Padparascha, Alexandrite, Yellow Diamond, Cairngorm, Aechmea, and Barbata. A palpable tension hung in the room. Barbata, the scientist, gestured toward a figure lying shrouded on the central table. "They should be awakening soon," he murmured, his voice carrying a soft echo. With a deliberate motion, he drew the fabric away. Silence fell as the moon-crafted gem's face was unveiled. Phos took a step forward, their golden arm reaching out toward you.
