Thomas Jinnouchi manipulated the controls of the scout shuttle Per Aspera to close the anomaly. His short-range radio buzzed; Commander Marius on the Mountain View demanded an update.

“Like we thought,” Jinnouchi reported. “It’s a gravitic anomaly.”

“What can you see?”

“It’s like a mirror – a spherical mirror, about thirty meters in diameter.”

“A mirror?”

“All I can see is the Per Aspera. And… Wait a minute. It’s doing something.”

“What? What is it doing?”

“It’s changing shape. It’s making some kind of… face.”

“Check your O2 levels – you’re hallucinating. What kind of face?”

“Elvis,” Jinnouchi said.
