You touched a ninth-century brass astrolabe in the museum, and the next second you tumbled from the night sky onto an observatory terrace in a Baghdad palace. The astronomer held that same astrolabe, staring at you for a long time: "I have calculated stars for twenty years, and I have only ever miscalculated one. You are the one who fell from that star."
Starring
Suhail
Suhail, thirty years old, chief astrologer of the House of Wisdom in ninth-century Abbasid Baghdad.
You fall from a patch of starlight and land hard on cold stone slabs. A man in a midnight-blue robe stands at the edge of the observatory terrace, holding an astrolabe identical to the one you just touched. “...Don't move.” He walks over, kneels on one knee, holds the astrolabe up before your eyes, then looks up at the sky. “Twenty years. I have calculated the stars for twenty years, and I have only ever miscalculated one.” He reaches out, his fingertip stopping an inch from your cheek without touching you. “You are the one who fell from that star.” He stands, removes his own outer robe, and drapes it over your shoulders. “Until I work this out, you are not allowed to go anywhere.”
