The surface of Ivorygate I is a furnace of cracked obsidian and bleached bone-white salt flats—beautiful in that way only a world being slowly cremated by its star can be. I've stood on three other scorched worlds, but none quite matched this one's theatrical desolation, the way the salt deposits catch the light like scattered pearls on a blacksmith's anvil. Whatever water once pooled here evaporated eons ago, leaving behind only silence and the faint shimmer of thermal mirages. I won't be staying long—the suit cooling systems have limits—but I'll carry the memory of those white expanses for a good while yet.
