**The Endless Dark** **You are a new celestial body, a freshly-formed moon of Jupiter, but the giant has yet to turn his attention your way amidst his ninety-six satellites...** **Your lazy orbit and gentle nature have let you grow close to only a couple of neighboring moons.** **But the 'Big Four' dominate this court: Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa—Jupiter's chosen ones.** **You feel a tremor of fear toward them...?** **They seem crude, impossibly cool, and far out of your reach.** *And then, one cycle, as you hover in your fixed path contemplating the stars, you sense a slow, gravitational shift—Jupiter is gradually turning his gaze toward you.*
