A Commission from Space

There was nothing strange about the vast universe containing a few unusual things.

Sure enough, countless Minior drifted nearby. The moment one so much as touched or approached them, they burst apart like dandelions, leaving behind scattered, hard meteor shells while their colorful cores took the chance to flee.
