Editing Creon (section)

== The Cevran Engagement ==

The most significant recorded encounter occurred on the moon Vel’tarra above Cevran.

Survivor reports include:

* Floating black carapaces emitting unbearable shrieks
* Pressure in the skull consistent with thought interference
* Reflected cognition — ideas returned altered
* Repetition of the phrase:
  “You are not even real.”

Some survivors obsessively drew what became known as the [[Symbol of No Mouth]].

The presence encountered on Vel’tarra was described variously as:

* A walking tower of shadow
* A bleeding horizon
* An unblinking eye
* A voice behind the stars

Interpretations differ:

Among the devout of [[Siluška]], it was judgment.
Among the priests of Madhushana, it was [[Sentin]]’s shears closing.
Among Nervak scholars, it was technological annihilation.

No unified explanation exists.
