Once upon a super quiet place called Elysia, Captain Mira Voss wandered around all alone. Everything was still like when you try to hear a pin drop, but here there were no pins. Just silence.
Then Mira saw a little box blinking all by itself. It was kind of shy, flashing the words, “Trust the stars”. Mira thought, maybe the stars are playing a secret game and this box is their little messenger.
She poked a button and, *beep-beep*, the box made a funny sound like a robot with hiccups! It made Mira laugh because robot hiccups sound silly. She imagined the stars hiding somewhere far away, giggling secretly and waiting for her to find their clues.
So she sat down and waited, whispering, “Okay stars, I’m ready to find you in our game.” The colony stayed super quiet, like it was taking a giant nap just for the stars to come play.
And Mira promised herself to listen very carefully for the next wink or beep from her shy starry friends, hoping their game would never end.
