Manuel finally turned his head. His eyes weren't eyes at all, but two tiny, spinning loading icons. He reached a gloved hand toward the lens, and the video quality began to degrade rapidly. The violet light turned into a blinding white glare that bled out of the video player window and across Elias’s desktop. "The seventh sky is a ceiling, Elias. Stop looking up."

The video opened with a low-angle shot of a dusty living room. Dust motes danced in a shaft of unnatural, violet sunlight. In the center of the frame sat a man—presumably Manuel Skye. He was wearing an old-fashioned flight suit, the kind used by high-altitude pilots in the late 90s, but the patches on his shoulders bore symbols Elias didn’t recognize: a stylized eye inside a digital hexagon.
