It is explained that all the Forerunners on Seaward live with only the basics of technology and live a relatively primitive lifestyle. [[Forerunner personal armor|Personal armor]], starships, and communications are either not used or use to only a very limited extent. Most of the planet's residents, including Soma, live in the small community settlement of [[Wharftown]]. Located on the edge of the [[Milky Way galaxy]], Seaward is designated uninhabitable and was only open to extremely wealthy individuals or high-ranking politicians. | ||
As the sunset begins, Soma begins to paint it with her [[jetbrush]]. She captures the unique optical effect caused by its two suns, called ''Twofire''. As the jetbrush automatically paints on her glass easel, Soma notices that it has made an error: drawing a dark gray streak in the sky, with a sickly trail of yellow smoke following it. Upon looking up at the sky, she notices that [[Flood|the object]] on her easel is in fact in the sky. As the object moves towards the horizon, she packs up her equipment and returns to Wharftown, realizing that something is wrong. | As the sunset begins, Soma begins to paint it with her [[jetbrush]].
