[he crawls out further, looking around as much as possible, but it certainly appears that the bottom of the island is literally... just the bottom of a giant rock. it's not really remarkable, except for the incredible view spread out below them.]

[...Geir trails to a stop again as they pass another rock outcropping and get an even better view of the asteroid belt. it has strange rainbow reflections, seen from this angle. he can't even think of any other words to comment on it, and just takes a moment to stare.]
Maybe. Dirk seems to be under the impression there are multiple universes, each presumably with their own collection of worlds and . . . celestial markers.
