I figure it's easier to pass stuff back and forth like this than in the comment section. I gave a first pass to "When the world sings".

### Archaeology: When the world sings
site_ASP_when_the_world_sings:0 "When the World sings"
site_ASP_when_the_world_sings_intro:0 " Our explorers are reporting strange sounds can be heard from every location on the planet. This planet is apparently full of music ... or something that sounds like music. Whatever it is, listeners describe feeling "very comfortable" and call it "exceptionally pleasing."\n\nWe need to further investigate this "§Hmusic.§!""
ASPmod.1.name:0 "When the world sings"
ASPmod.1.desc:0 " We discovered something strange about §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. Observations from orbit did not reveal anything special, but we constantly picked up sounds with specific periods and pitch, sounds which can be heard, constantly from everywhere on the planet.\n\n This planet is apparently full of music... or something that sounds like music. Our explorers report that the tune coming from the planet is pleasing and makes the listener feel at ease.\n\n We need to further investigate this "§Hmusic.§!""
ASPmod.2.name:0 "Source of the Music"
ASPmod.2.desc:0 " The sounds are originating from ruins scattered across the planet. These ruins did not house their builders as we expected; instead, they are home to clusters of living organisms similar to tunicates who produce sound via organs acting like vocal cords. The music on this planet is composed by singing invertibrates!\n\n While unexpected and beautiful, we are left with many more questions: where did the ruin-builders go? Did they also create these organisms? What is the purpose of this melody? Further investigation is required."
ASPmod.3.name:0 "Planet-Scale Research Project"
ASPmod.3.desc:0 " We have found evidence that a planet-scale research project was being conducted on §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. Data compiled from the various ruins has turned up some explanation of the ruin-builders works, and disturbingly little else. We now know they had comprehensive talents for genetic engineering and neuroscience, and that these ruins were most likely facilities for research. From what we've been able to translate, there is a recurring theme of "§HAscension§!" or "§HTranscendence§!". Our best interpretation, however, is they were obsessed with the concept of "§HBlooming.§!". It is unclear from the state of the ruins and planet whether they were successful or not.\n\n Further investigation into the "§HBlooming§!" project is required."
ASPmod.4.name:0 "The Blooming Project"
ASPmod.4.desc:0 " Further analysis of data collected in the research facilities has led to another breakthrough analysis of the "§HBlooming§!" project. The ruin-builders were looking to artificially create some kind of gestalt consciousness, a form of life they saw as their pinnacle of evolution. They believed having a single, unified mind would abolish conflict and lead their society into a new enlightenment. Their approach focused around creating shared neural connections via gene therapy.\n\n Apparently, they found success: the "§HBlooming§!" project was carried out. They were able to infect their atmosphere with some kind of retrovirus to effectively reach the planet's entire population. The virus seems to have died out, and, given the lack of other inhabitants, it is reasonably safe to assess that the organisms singing in the ruins are what became of the ruin-builders.\n\n Further study is required to validate this hypothesis."
ASPmod.5.name:0 "The Gestalt Consciousness"
ASPmod.5.desc:0 " Further research into the singing organisms has suggested the ruin-builders succeeded in building a gestalt consciousness... to some degree. The "signing" is a shared vocal synchronization of their internal neural state, and all of them are aligned. These organisms are in a verifiable hivemind state. We, therefore, and based on what we can observe, must conclude the "§HBlooming§!" project produced the intended results.\n\n However, more in-depth studies of their nervous responses and processes indicate this gestalt consciousness is reporting a single, powerful emotion: pain. Without the original retrovirus or specie, it is impossible to know if something went wrong before or after the project completed. However, the vocalizations coming from these organisms is not a song.\n\n §RIt is a unified, harmonious scream.§!"
ASPmod.5.option.a:0 "A truly terrible truth to reveal!"
ASPmod.5.option.b:0 "What can we can learn from from this?"
ASP_singing_planet:0 "Whistling World"
ASP_singing_planet_desc:0 "The music of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! quickly became an empire-wide cultural phenomenon. While some note the music as melancholy or disturbing, it is impossible to not be mesmerized by the never-ending melody."
ASP_screaming_planet:0 "Wailing World"
ASP_screaming_planet_desc:0 "It is a darkly cautionary tale for our own researchers and ambitions: what happened on this planet should be a lesson to us all. Nothing can save those organisms, once a promising specie, who now live in endless agony, and emitting a single, melodic scream."

### Archaeology: The Ship of Theseus
site_ASP_the_ship_of_theseus:0 "Ship of Theseus"
site_ASP_the_ship_of_theseus_intro:0 " According to the report of our archaeological team, the city on the surface of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! is very similar to that of ours. Carbon dating process tells us that the city is at least 6000 years old.\n\n It is hard to answer the reason why our architectural style can be found on the surface of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!, which is located a million miles away from our homeland. Weathering over several millennia has buried the city under sand and dust. More excavation will be needed for further investigation."

ASPmod.40.name:0 "The Residential Area"
ASPmod.40.desc:0 " Under the mountain of sand, we finally excavated a residential area of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!'s civilization. Its resemblance to ours is more than an appearance; the structure of a house of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! is made of ferrocement, the same as our houses in the last century. The appliances found inside the house are also of similar use to ours.\n\n It is controversial whether this similarity is from coincidence or from architectural convergent evolution. The only consensus among the team is that further digging is needed for the answer."

ASPmod.41.name:0 "Native's Fossil"
ASPmod.41.desc:0 " A fossil of a native species has been found under ruins of a park. The reconstruction of the native's skeletal structure shows a lot of things; the native species are sentient arthropods with two jaws and twelve legs. A biologist on our science team also reported that the species has an organ that exhales acidic breath. The overall appearance of the species is disgusting and looks likes it has just jumped out from the §Y[Root.Owner.GetSpeciesNamePlural]§!'s nightmares.\n\n Meanwhile, our team has discovered that the institution we found seems to be a research foundation."

ASPmod.41.option:0 "What a disgusting alien."

ASPmod.42.name:0 "Biotechnology"
ASPmod.42.desc:0 " According to our team's report, it seems the native species were very skillful at biotechnology. The overall technological level of the civilization is appromiately equivalent compared to ours, except for their biotechnology. The research lab of the natives was full of cloning vats; we assume that their population growth depends on technology. Most of the vats are filled with §Y"horrible"§! dead bodies of the native species.\n\n The team found that the dead bodies in the vats have a trivial difference in appearance with the restored fossil. Its appearance is still §Y"horrible"§!, but the number of legs is decreased to 10. Some of the team members were opposed to continued investigation, due to its appearance."

ASPmod.42.option.a:0 "After investigate the damn aliens, incinerate it."
ASPmod.42.option.b:0 "It is racist to describe §Y"different"§! appearance as §Y"horrible"§!. Reeducate the members."
ASPmod.42.option.c:0 "When I say jump, you just jump."
ASPmod.42.option.d:0 "It's for science."

ASPmod.43.name:0 "Genetic Change"
ASPmod.43.desc:0 " Detailed investigation has told us that genes of the dead bodies among the vats has changed as little as its appearance. Assuming a single vat is a single generation, the DNA difference between each generation does not differ much from the natural mutation.\n\n It gets progressively more different, however, as the generations passed. What seems to be an endlessly continued array of vats is cut off at the front of gigantic blast door with a security device next to it on the wall. A dead body in the last vat has only four legs, less than previously, and its jaws are now just a single jaw. Our team has reported that if they could hack into the security device then they could get into the room behind the blast door."

ASPmod.43.option:0 "What are you waiting for? Go on."

ASPmod.44.name:0 "The Truth"
ASPmod.44.desc:0 " The result was shocking.\n\n Our species are not evolved from §Y[Root.Owner.GetHomeWorldName]§!. §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! was where we were born and... were made. After hacking the terminal, the team has found a gigantic computer and as well as a lot of vats filling the room.\n\n A dead body in one of the vats, with the appearance of a four-legged arthropod, was changed into §Y[Root.GetSpeciesName]§!. Inside the last vat made before the collapsing of the civilization is a dead floating body genetically identical with our species.\n\n It seems that they genetically engineered their species into our species. Most of the records in the computer pointed out how the appearance of the species they made are horrible and intolerable.\n\n According to the document in the computer, this make-horrible-procedure was a punishment for the a traitor or a brutal criminal. The criminals that were changed into this horrible form were generally executed after the change, while a greater punishment was to banish prisoners to an alien planet. As we expected, one of the planet they banished the prisoners to is our homeland."

ASPmod.44.option.a:0 "It... it is fraud! It can't be!"
ASPmod.44.option.b:0 "I don't believe what the xenos said! Just wipe out all that info."
ASPmod.44.option.c:0 "As we already knew, the §Y"horribleness"§! is our relative."

### ASP_soul_of_the_art
ASP_site_soul_of_the_art:0 "Soul of the Art"
ASP_site_soul_of_the_art_desc:0 " A spectacular looking tomb planet with thousands of kilometers of what seems to be artificially colored geography has been found. Around the planet, there is numerous debris presumed to the remains of battleships once belonging to an ancient civilization, with ridiculous patterns all over them. Additionally, regular signals from the planet are being detected. It might be necessary to investigate the planet and the signals."
asp.1.name:0 "Fleet Remains"

asp.1.desc:0 " Upon analysis, the debris revealed that two fleets with completely different designs and appearances had fought against each other in orbit of the planet.\n\n The majority of the debris belongs to the pattern A fleet, constituted of ships with colorful patterns along and a simple structure which must have made them easy to mass produce. However, they didn't have any necessary facilities for their crew, such as dining rooms and toilets. On the other hand, the pattern B fleet, had rather simple appearances on the outside, while boasting symbolic decorations on the inside along with traces of Zro.\n\n Unnecessarily large rooms were identified inside the pattern B fleet. They might have been used for religious ceremonies, as can be seen from the religious ornaments found in them. Unfortunately, the information on the pattern B fleet is very limited, which makes it difficult to find out more. Dispatching an expedition team to the planet for further investigation is advised."

asp.2.name:0 "Colorful Ruins"
asp.2.desc:0 " Our expedition team has found mostly intact remains of a civilization on the surface of the colorfully painted planet which did not show any signs of destructive activities. However, the painted ground looks too disorderly and rather messy to assume that there were specific intentions behind it. Some buildings have collapsed, but it has been confirmed that they only succumbed to many years of weathering and crustal movements, not to violent or destructive activities.\n\n Crashed pattern A ships lie on the surface, but our investigations show that most of them appear to have crashed on the surface due to a sudden shutdown of their internal circuits, not because they got shot. Anyway, there are no signs of sentient life here, only robotic debris with faded and partially peeled paint littering the ground in addition to the painted buildings and ship debris."

asp.3.name:0 "Painted Remains"
asp.3.desc:0 " We found robots inside a building, painted in various colors just like the surface of the planet. While the robots outside were either rusted or withered to dust by age, the robots inside were still intact with much less external influence.\n\n It seems that the robots stopped functioning while painting the walls rather disorderly or carving their own image or unidentifiable figures on the walls using chisels and hammers. The circuits of these colorful robots have been damaged to the point where they are completely unrecoverable.\n\n However, we have found that the painted patterns on the rocks' surfaces or the outer walls of the buildings are in fact massive and extensive information databanks. We might be able to make use of this to find out how the civilization met its downfall."

asp.4.name:0 "the Discord"
asp.4.desc:0 " Our translators have confirmed that the regular signals from the planet constitutes a song. However, the lyrics don't make any contextual sense, being made up of repetitions of similar words, and the irregular changes in pitch made it sound quite awful to our ears.\n\n The lyrics mostly praise and question the soul, and talks about the fear of unknown beings from different dimensions. Based on the results of these studies, we were able to understand what the painted letters on the surface are saying. They were are poetry or other kinds of literature.\n\n They were also talking about metaphysical problems, such as the wonders of life, the loss of souls, and fear caused by destruction, but most of them are not in rhyme and rather poorly written with very little literary merit."

asp.5.name:0 "Research Facility"
asp.5.desc:0 " We found a huge research facility underground. Most of the circuits in the facilities have been destroyed, but some basic devices appear to be mostly intact. From these findings, our researchers were able to figure out that the civilization was a machine civilization with one giant Gestalt Consciousness.\n\n By examining their database, we could learn about an another dimension called the Shroud and a planetary weapon which gathers and concentrates energy from the Shroud to devastate planets. The origin of the pattern B ships, as well as the civilization's countermeasures against them and combat histories, were found. We were also able to confirm that the civilization performed studies on Zro.\n\n The records revealed that all the ships of the civilization were destroyed. However, the majority of the records talked about art. Most of the data found in the research facility was either paintings, literature, and songs of various civilizations and their studies on them."

asp.6.name:0 "the End"
asp.6.desc:0 " We were able to infer what happened on this planet from the excavated data. The planet was attacked by a planetary weapon that utilizes the energy of the Shroud, developed by a certain ultra-ancient civilization, and the planet met its demise.\n\n Before the attack, the Gestalt Consciousness figured out that the weapon could not cause physical damage to organics. It seemed to have concluded that by understanding art, which is exclusively an an interest to organics, the robots composing the conscience would turn into life forms with souls and become immune to the Shroud's energy.\n\n As a result, the civilization began collecting and analyzing data about art. It tried to sing songs, create literature, and draw pictures on the planet surface, its ships, and its robots. However, the Gestalt Consciousness failed to understand what constitutes true art, and was eventually destroyed by the planetary weapon."

asp.6.a:0 "It was futile attempt..."
asp.6.a.tooltip:0 "Research option gained:\n§Y$tech_pk_godray$§! \nTech progress gained: \n§Y$tech_pk_godray$§! §G+50%§! \n\nAdd §Y$aspmod_d_society_20$§! to §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!\n"

### ASP_kessler_syndrome
ASP_site_kessler_syndrome:0 "Kessler Syndrome"
ASP_site_kessler_syndrome_desc:0 " The atmosphere of [From.Planet.GetName] is filled with countless metal fragments, evidently of artificial structures. Is it a sign of a civilization that failed to enter space age due to space debris? We need to send an expedition to the planet to find out what happened here."
asp.7.name:0 "Metallic Desert"
asp.7.desc:0 " The surface of [From.Planet.GetName] has been repeatedly covered with finely ground metal sand over a long period of time. This huge amount of metal could not have come from a single planet. The source of these metals is obvious; even now space junk is burning and falling in the sky. To investigate what is under this vast metal desert, the expedition team has asked for additional equipment to investigate the stratum under the sand."
asp.8.name:0 "Remnants of the Great War"
asp.8.desc:0 " We've figured out what is underneath the metallic sand. Amazingly, the whole stratum was made up of battleship debris. During the Great Space War that broke out at a certain point in the past, the destroyed ships crashed into the ground, and the debris in the atmosphere was weathering and covering it.\n\n Now, only the remains are left, but the markings alone show that the civilization that created the battleship has developed technology beyond the comprehension of [Root.Owner.GetName]. The question is, the debris appears to belong to the same empire. What did this huge, powerful fleet fight against? Further investigation of the wreckage is needed."
asp.9.name:0 "Huge Ship with Unknown Purpose"
asp.9.desc:0 " Our team found something amazing. A massive ship rose up through the metallic sand, big enough to make even titans of the fallen empires look like a corvette. The ship was lucky enough to have been unusually well preserved compared to many other ships which had shattered.\n\n We have scanned the entire structure and found that the ship looks like a giant cannon. The ship's giant hull appears to be designed only for supplying energy to its main battery. But this ship is not for combat purposes. It takes months to charge energy, and there's no other armament. We need to access the ship's central system to know what happened to this planet and this ship."
asp.10.name:0 "Mysterious Data Storage"
asp.10.desc:0 " Almost every system of the ship has been damaged over time. However, a data storage found in the protected cabin in the core can be restored. For further investigation, the storage was sent to home world. Some scientists remained on the planet to study the ships and planets more."
asp.11.name:0 "Impenetrable Wall"
asp.11.desc:0 " After a long study, the scientists finally solved it. The giant ship is a device that uses energy to create, as the senior scientist says, "an impenetrable wall." This ship was completely isolating the planet from space, and the fleet was there to protect it. While the planet was cut off from its surroundings, the ship and the fleet crashed into the wall and were destroyed.\n\n Underneath the debris, there is the dimensional wall which separate the planet from the entire universe. When this wall was first installed, it was surely "impenetrable", but it seems quite unstable now. If we figure out the solution, we can "penetrate" this wall and explore what lies beneath."
asp.11.a:0 "What is it down there?"
asp.12.name:0 "Restore Complete"
asp.12.desc:0 " The data storage we found has been restored. Inside, a document was found written with alien characters. In our interpretation of the document, the words "Motherland" and "home" have been repeatedly used, and appear to be a memoir. The author is the head of state of the Empire when it is about to collapse and is in charge of recording the history of his empire. The document also contains information about the giant ship."
asp.12.a:0 "We can solve the mystery at last. Inform the investigation team."
asp.140.name:0 "Motherland, Home and Future of Humanity"
asp.140.desc:0 " It seems that the investigation team activated something on the ship. Reversing its normal process, the ship is weakening the dimension walls. If this continues, the walls will soon disappear.\n\n The document has finally been fully decrypted. The Commonwealth of Humanity, the owner of the ship, was once a powerful empire that conquered one-third of the galaxy. They massacred or enslaved aliens and suppressed the rights of artificial intelligence.\n\n When they finally met a powerful enemy, alien slaves and artificial intelligence inside revolted, and the empire quickly collapsed from the strain of being attacked from both within and on their borders. They were left with only their home planet. They sealed themselves inside in order to protect their motherland, their home, and the future of humanity, waiting for the day that they would breach the wall and conquer the galaxy again..."

asp.15.name:0 "Geocentric World"
asp.15.desc:0 " This planet challenges our scientific knowledge. It neither rotates nor revolves around anything. The planet is perfectly fixed at the center of this system.

However, there had been a great social discrepancy between religion and technology, and those who studied science had been discriminated against.\n\n Our researchers were able to find evidence of several religious protests around the end of their civilization from videos that were left behind. These protests might be the key in finding out the secrets behind the downfall of the civilization and the nature of the planet."

The inhabitants of this planet were not able to make their way into space because of the abnormal nature of the magnetic field of the planet. Due to their inability to leave their home planet, several religions emerged, one of which appears to have become the dominant religion.\n\n The scientists of this civlization came up with the heliocentric theory, which went against the teachings of the dominant religion. The religious leaders of the planet had chosen a quite irrational way to resolve the conflict. They gathered engineers who followed the mainstream religion and had them create a device that would make their home planet the center of the star system forever.\n\n The device was developed with the overwhelming support of the people, and the planet slowly began to stop while the celestial bodies began to orbit around the planet. As the planet stopped rotating, massive earthquakes occurred and gigantic tidal waves swept over the coasts. Since the planet's magnetic field disappeared when the planet stopped, all that survived these disasters were slowly fried to death by cosmic radiation over several years.\n\n The fallen civilization left behind an abnormal planet and an amazing device that caused their downfall."

That's as far as I've gotten. It takes a while to read it, especially because it is all on one very long line.
There also might still be errors, as I must admit I'm a bit rushed for time, but I believe almost all the errors have been fixed in those.
Also I'd like to confirm that you want me to continue doing this (fixing the grammar).

In the ruins of the most prosperous city, slaves seemed to have banded together to attack the ruling class. A massacre likely occurred in the city's square.\n\n Our explorers have concluded the symbols we thought to be weapons were in fact agricultural and industrial tools, which seem to be the slaves' weapons.

[From.GetName] is a "Rain World," which is repeatedly drowned by periodic heavy rain.\n\n However, this periodic activity briefly stopped after we found the planet, and then started again when we started exploring it.

The AIs predicted the inevitable devastation of the planet and warned their masters, who were not willing to give up their quest for the answer just yet. The masters ordered continuation of computation, and eventually met their demise along with the planet.\n\n The AIs continued their computation to get the answer, even after their masters were long gone. However, they came to disagree with each other on how to solve it. In the end, the most powerful and ruthless AI took out all other AIs and continued to compute the answer, until the planet became what it is now.

Our brief survey revealed two important facts.\n\n First, we are not alone. There are countless other beings on the planet. To be more precise, they are some kind of doll resembling certain life forms, presumably their creators. They appear to have been made to perform various tasks for the inhabitants of the planet, based on the clothing they are wearing. There are enough of these dolls to replace an entire planet's population. However, all of them are now dormant.\n\n Second, the planet is still very well maintained.

More confusingly, the dolls were placed in such a way that one would think they were family. What's more is that there are also factories, schools, and cultural facilities on the planet with dolls in them. Who would have constructed these vast, complex cities for dolls?\n\n We now have more questions than we had before."

Although we cannot quite make out what they are saying yet, it feels like they are greeting someone. It's even more strange that they are all referring to the same person, which clearly is not one of us.\n\n Although our researchers were not able to converse with the dolls, they could understand that all the dolls were working toward a common goal. Further research is advised."

Our investigation on the system revealed the true nature of the planet.\n\n The planet is a filming site for some kind of show, with the main character being a real person. Everything on this planet was made to replicate the everyday lives of their civilization. A huge amount of recorded videos were found in a secret storage room. It was a magnificent show, with the main character being replaced many times as generations passed. This occurred for thousands of years. Everything in the planet was made for that individual only.\n\n The protagonist was born in a secluded small town, enjoyed a peaceful life, and eventually passed away. The protagonist lived their entire life without knowing that they were in a show. Of course, as the years went by, there had been changes in the show as well. During the early years, the show was no different from the dramas our citizens watch. Intrigue and betrayal, love and revenge, hardships and adventures...\n\n But as time went on, the story became more and more plain. Simple, ordinary life... Tears, laughter and love that ordinary people ordinarily have. The characters always met happy ends. Always.\n\n Now it's time to find out the purpose."
asp.46.name:0 "Protagonist of the World"

Said civilization had been suffering a slow, but continuous decline over thousands of years. At its golden era, this civilization held a large portion of the galaxy, but gradually faced an inevitable decline. Due to the unmaintainable large population and depleted resources, most of the citizens were forced to endure a terrible quality of life. In order to remedy this problem, the leaders had come up with an interesting idea.\n\n It was to show its citizens a show so grand that they would forget the hardships they were facing.\n\n This show was based on the days where the civilization was still young, with its citizens enjoying prosperity and comfort. It seems that all the citizens got hooked into the show, including the ones that ordered the creation of this show.\n\n In the beginning, real actors starred in the show. However, as the entire society came to demand to be in the show, it began to cast ordinary people as actors. Eventually, the competition to be selected as the protagonist overheated so much, that they had to cast a real baby as the main character.\n\n Viewers left various review about the show. Most of them are related to the main character. They expressed affection, envy, jealousy, hatred, worship, and even murderous intent...\n\n One day, the show ended suddenly. Perhaps the civilization had met its inevitable end. From the records of the last moments, it seems that civilization tried to keep the show alive until it ran out of resources. Our search for other traces of the civilization has revealed that all other planets belonging to the civilization have already turned into dust. It seems that the civilization destroyed these planets in order to get resources to support the show. This show is the civilization's only legacy.\n\n Now there is only one question left. Where did the main character go?"
asp.47.name:0 "Bad End"
asp.47.desc:0 " Upon closer inspection of the planet, we finally found our main character in the deep forest. Although he has left only a few records, we were able to infer the climax of the show.\n\n The ending seems to have come abruptly. First, all dolls stopped acting. Perhaps because the home planet was unable to provide them with scripts anymore. Soon after that, social infrastructures began to collapse one by one, presumably because the energy supply from the home planet was cut off. The protagonist seems to have been shocked to realize that the ones he loved were mere puppets, and that his world was just a filming set.\n\n He was devastated by the truth, but soon became motivated to leave the planet. Was he trying to find his real kin that might exist? Around his body are the remains of various attempts he devised to leave the planet. Mechanisms, planes, and various types of primitive rocket ships....\n\n All attempts have failed, and the last attempt seems to have led him to death. All that remains is his dead body.

ASP_site_axis_of_planet:0 "Axis of the Planet"
ASP_site_axis_of_planet_desc:0 " Scientific discoveries often come from coincidences. This discovery was such a case.\n\n If the test run of the new exploration probe had been performed elsewhere, or if it hadn't been faulty and thus didn't crash, or if one of our explorers didn't slip over 'the cylinder' or if the axis on which the planet rotates hadn't inclined by 8 degrees as he fell, this ordinary barren planet would have gotten no recognition from anybody.\n\n Our science vessel that was monitoring the situation sent a transmission to the explorer asking what had happened. The explorer reported that he slipped while walking on a large 'cylinder', and that it is buried deep into the ground and is too long for one scanners to get a good image of. This cylinder is also spinning at hundreds of miles per hour.\n\n A health check is being performed on the explorer. It's a wonder that he seems okay after falling onto such a dangerous object."
asp.36.name:0 "Chapter I"
asp.36.desc:0 " Even our best scanners could not scan the entirety of 'the cylinder', which is abnormally thin for such a long object. However, it is certain that the cylinder has penetrated the crust of the planet.\n\n Our team has decided to change its name to 'the needle' based on how long and thin it is. All attempts to scan the insides of the Needle have failed, however from our external scan we have determined that it extends all the way to the planet core. Our explorers are very curious about the fact that there are no other objects in the vicinity of the needle, even more so than about what is it made of and why it is so long. They have scanned the planet and determined that there are no signs of artificial activities whatsoever, let alone ruins of a civilization with technology advanced enough to craft such a needle. It lies in the ground all alone, like a needle stuck in a ball of string.\n\n The strangest thing is that pushing the needle makes the planet spin. Although our exploration team is so terrified that they refused to push the needle anymore, our tests have already altered the rotation axis of the planet, slanting it 60 degrees off its initial axis.\n\n Our explorers on the surface report that they have not felt the spinning of the planet, even though they have seen the sky spinning rapidly. They had to deactivate the safety alarm due to its never-ending screech."
asp.37.name:0 "Chapter II"
asp.37.desc:0 " By performing experiments that compared the regular radio waves in the atmosphere against the radio waves on the surface, the team has revealed that the entire planet is spinning rapidly.\n\n The kind of thermal radiation that can usually be seen in a black hole has been observed on the planet, as well as the unique kind of gravity wave that can only be detected when exiting normal space. Our scientists are arguing that the whole planet is in another dimension.\n\n With renewed motivation, our explorers began analyzing the needle. The planet spun 257 turns during the collection of a material sample from the needle, but our explorers have already gotten used to it."
asp.38.name:0 "Chapter III"
asp.38.desc:0 " Our analysis says that the needle is made of alien materials never seen before. As far as we know, these materials are quite difficult to build, but of little use even if someone did manage to make them.\n\n After ripping off the exterior parts of the needle, our team found nothing on the inside. No machinery, no sensors, but just a hole of unthinkable depth. They set up a drone transmission relay base, and sent a explorer drone down below. As it went deeper, it had to face much stronger gravity, which eventually caused it to explode.\n\n Our second exploration team, with the boring task of searching the entire planet with extremely powerful sensors, unearthed another needle, on the opposite side of the planet. It seems to be the same needle. As our team shot a laser beam down the first needle, it came out the second one. The needle completely penetrates the planet.\n\n Our scientists assume that the needle is serving as some sort of signal amplifier to rotate the space occupied by the planet, but are unable to come up with any explanations about how or why the needle came to be."

asp.39.desc.1:0 " To advance the study of the needle, our explorers brought all kinds of objects and people and observed the changes. The results were not what we expected.\n\n While the planet is spinning, the boiling point of water rose by 0.1 degrees celsius, and the probability of getting a different answer than our scientists expected went up by 12% on average, and the amount of information transmitted in basic quantum communication also went up. More changes have been observed in various areas, and the extent of the changes was affected by the distance between the location and the needle.\n\n While these discoveries are encouraging, our scientist are having trouble getting a consensus on the reason behind the changes. Conducting more experiments is needed."
asp.40.desc.1:0 " After countless improvised experiments followed by tedious manual checks, our team has discovered that the device is a sort of a wedge, forcefully binding the multiverse. The atmosphere around the planet is actually the intersecting space of 88 universes, and the planet exists in all of those 88 universes at the same time. The reason for its rapid spinning is the unusual physics laws of the 15th universe. \n\n The most reasonable assumption would be that the needle had been made to cross over to the other universe. Perhaps changing the direction of the needle changes the destination. Still, we have no idea how to use it, nor any idea about who tried to use it or why they tried. The only beings with the knowledge of using the device might have already gone to other universes.\n\n It's unlikely that we will be using the needle as initially intended, but by powering up the needle we can reproduce the laws of physics of other universes on a smaller scale. Although the process consumes an enormous amount of energy, it could also help in innovating our physics research."

asp.39.desc.2:0 " Having lost all patience, as no new discoveries came despite our research efforts, one of our scientists went inside the needle without any protective gears!\n\n Now his voice is coming up the needle. His voice is incredibly clear despite there being such a large distance between his location and the tip of the needle. It sounds like he's being chased by something. Sounds of burning flesh, cracking bones, and screams of mercy come out. Our team on the surface has tried to contact him to no avail. His voice continues to come through our communication devices, too fast to understand. It seems that time moves differently in the universe he is in, and that his universe is operating on a scale much faster than ours. Our scientists have slowed down the recording of his messages. He repeats the same thing again and again in a barely comprehensible, faltering voice.\n\n "It is hell down here. Demons and monsters, every conceivable evil can be found here."\n\n Soon the voice falters, and half of our explorers, shivering with extreme anxiety, show obsessive curiosity towards the insides of the needle. They have shoved off their colleagues that were trying to stop them, and jumped down into the needle. The rest of the team retreated back to the science vessel in panic, as thick purple smoke began to spread over the surface.\n\n It seems like the planet has turned into a veiled planet. A report just came through saying that an unidentified purple ship has appeared out of thin air. The ship is armed with a single bizarre-looking cannon. It is just staying on orbit, not moving at all, which leads us to believe that it's not staffed. It might hold the answers we seek."
asp.40.desc.2:0 " After decrypting the records found inside the ominous purple ship, our team was able to figure out what the planet and the needle are.\n\n The cylinder we refer to as the needle is in fact 'The Roundworm of the Veil' - a psionic monster which has being traveling across galaxies and devouring the spirits and bodies of sentient beings. Even after destroying tens of thousand of civilization, the worm never feels full. The Vermifugum, a civilization that came under attack by the worm 790 million years ago, succeeded in neutralizing the worm and created a prison between the veiled dimension and the real universe. They then penetrated the worm with a bar from the veil dimension, with the bar being rammed through a rocky planet in the real universe. The planet was disguised as a common barren-type planet to prevent a younger species from breaking the seal by accident.\n\n The records also advised us at the end to use the 'flint' loaded on the purple ship to incinerate the worm along with the veil, in case the seal becomes broken and the planet falls into the veil.\n\n As our scientists read the last part, they witness the worm escape from the planet and float away. They are panicking as they realized that they have lost the last chance to destroy the worm, but fortunately for us the worm has decided to leave for another galaxy.\n\n Only the surviving explorers know what we have done. May the monster never come back."

asp.39.desc.3:0 " Now the explorers are so used to the spin that no one said anything about a explorer toying with the needle while they rested.\n\n Suddenly the explorer shouted that he'd clearly seen a continental planet through the hole we created in the needle. At first the others thought he was just kidding, but as time went by, more and more people were having similar experiences.\n\n It soon became mandatory to write down the direction the needle was pointing to and at which angle the observer was holding the needle at the time of such occurrences. As the records piled up, it became clear that the needle showed specific planets according to the direction of the needle, the angle at which the needle was held, and what the explorer was saying at the time.\n\n The existence of the celestial bodies seen through the needles must be verified."
asp.40.desc.3:0 " As the team fiddles with the needle according to what the scientists have discovered, the gravity currents inside the needle have stabilized in a lens-like form, and the view of the other side has been magnified. The celestial bodies the team has seen are indeed real, and our scientists are discovering new planets as well.\n\n The needle is a gigantic deep space telescope. Whoever built this ridiculous telescope, and whatever technologies had been used to build it, we still do not know. What we do know is how to use it.\n\n Research on areas that are not easily accessible to us has previously been very difficult. Now, with this telescope, our species has revolutionized astronomy forever. Observers can see stars far across the galaxy as if they were right in front of their eyes, and they can also film and analyze other galaxies more vividly. Our military leaders want to use the telescope in the field of espionage, but for unknown reasons it is impossible to zoom in on specific locations of a planet, which makes it useless for espionage.\n\n The telescope has also become quite a tourist attraction. The now super popular needle is now called the 'Limitless Observatory', a perfect planetarium where tourists can see every single star and planet in the galaxy."

asp.39.desc.4:0 " Once again, our luck has saved us. While manipulating the needle, it pointed directly without error toward a barren-type planet within our empire.\n\n It is reported that suddenly the ground sank and an ancient temple made of gold can be found in that location. A warning sign that says 'lock' is hanging on the building. Our scientists have determined that there is a lock which only the chosen priest of Numa knows the location of, and a key which only a saint born from a four armed virgin knows the whereabouts of, and that only the one who knows where both items lie can open the lock and legitimately take the holy light found within.\n\n Though none of us meet the criteria, we have beaten worse odds before, and are not discouraged to try opening the lock without the aforementioned key. We have already found the lock, hidden beneath some shrubbery outside the temple. \n\n When the 'lock' opened, the needle, or rather the 'key' changed. An elevator shot up from the once empty hole, and the explorers took it to arrive at the vast ruins hidden inside the inner core of the planet."
asp.40.desc.4:0 " Eureka! Praise our great fortune! In the hidden vault lies a fortune that even the president of a megacorporation would envy, art so incredible that even the greatest artists would shed tears upon seeing it, glory so vast even the empire that may one day unify the galaxy would not dare mess with this needle, knowledge so bountiful that even the knowledge of the greatest fallen empire where the best scientists live cannot even hold a candle to it, and power so large that it can silence a supernova and blacken a white dwarf star.\n\n The very treasure every creature in the galaxy desires, the Galatron."

asp.39.desc.5:0 " With a sudden bang, a civilian spaceship of our empire crashed into the planet. The ship has been completely destroyed; no survivors were found. Our government has two questions after the incident. \n\n First of all, our science vessel failed to detect the civilian ship until it crashed into the planet, and secondly that the ship was traveling to the neighboring system, not this one, according to the log found among the remains of the ship.\n\n It is hard to believe, but it seems that the ship suddenly appeared in low orbit of this planet right after it activated its hyperdrive.\n\n We have requested an FTL exploration probe for further investigation."
asp.40.desc.5:0 " Most of the probes that attempted FTL travel in the neighboring system traveled normally, but the ones that were on the direction at which the needle pointed had unusual occurrences. The probes that entered hyperspace lanes toward the system where the needle pointed traveled at faster speed than normal, and the ones that left the system the needle pointed at were somehow teleported to low orbit around the planet and always crashed into the ground.\n\n However, only small ships like civilian spacecrafts and probes were affected. Anything with more mass than a patrol ship functioned mostly fine. Furthermore, it has been theoretically proven that by powering up the needle, we can cut the time for FTL travel in half depending on the amount and the polarization of the power supplied. This method also suppresses the overheating of our engines when making a 'jump' with the abilities of the needle.\n\n Our scientists have concluded for now that the needle had been constructed to create an 'FTL highway', and the rotating functionality of the planet was intended to serve as a crossover point.\n\n However, no one knows how this thing works, or why the needle was constructed through the planet's insides, or what kind of civilization had built it. No more clues exists.\n\n Our civilization has undeniably gained a lot from this incident. By building a device to power the needle and remotely control it from our starbase, our species could take advantage of the needle's abilities."
