Lagrange Point
Lux adhuc est, quamvis in nullo vultu luceat.
---
In the blackness of space, a rotating cylinder catches faint light from the nearest star.
Hundreds of thousands of shielded panels glitter with each rotation as it leaves the shadow of some celestial body. Yet if one knows where and when to look, one of these points of light is revealed to be a small porthole through which, for a few minutes, can be seen a sea of trees blanketing a mountain range rumoured to be modeled by terraforming engineers after some section of topology from the Appalachians. This, all wrapped around the inside of the cylinder and warmed by an artificial nuclear sun.
