The first thing Ash noticed when she opened her eyes was the sky.
To the average person, there weren't many variations in the sky. It could be cloudy, sunny, it could be black in the nighttime, and a sort of golden purplish color in the dawn. To Ash, however, there was one version of the sky she'd been introduced to by her occupation as a Savior. That being the violet sky which was indicative of Niven's rifts.
However, this was nothing she'd seen before. No, when she looked up she saw a swirl of colors coalescing above. There was no sun, and yet the land around her was as bright as it would be at midday.
