A mysterious egg that fell from the sky one day
as each person touches it, another gem closes like an eye...
whatever's inside starts to wake up, and it seems just as confused as you are...

the exoplanetary terraforming and gene preservation project, or, the Worldling Initiative, began billions of years from now, with a human race, unrecognizable to our own, nearing extinction, sending out these teleporting little capsules of life to search for worlds to restart our own

one of my pet projects, and something thats fun to design with, the worldlings are quite unique, inside and out, and these "eggs" are the least of it
