The Pebble Ring Observatory
Pip
“A tiny child, around 80 cm tall, with bright eyes, a red scarf, and pebble-dust on her boots.”
Pip is a lively child who fits in the crook of an adult's arm and is always darting after rolling pebbles or new sounds. She likes making friends, but she sometimes rushes ahead before she has thought things through.

The Singing Visitor Ship
A drifting visitor craft sends out a long, musical beacon that makes the Pebble Ring Observatory’s pebble markers begin to hum back in answer. The sound is beautiful, but it also pulls attention away from the skywatching schedule and risks drawing the craft too close to the delicate ring path, where even a small bump could send both stations spinning off course.
Pip and the Pebble Line
At the Pebble Ring Observatory, Pip notices the moon’s silver pebbles rolling in a line toward the door instead of drifting as they usually do. When the warm pebbles stop at the threshold, the three children realize the Observatory itself may be trying to point them toward something hidden inside.
