A heads-up display against a dark ocean background. In the center of the image, written in the Matoran alphabet, is a poem. It reads: No light can escape a sea of dying stars No sun can reach below the umbral shroud of ocean waves But the clamor of life still sings across the seabed In a single, raging chorus, "we are still here" Beyond the view of all other worlds above Silent souls fade in and out of hidden spaces Untold horror births alien beauty beyond words As the ocean buries heaven in its hollow arms The chorus howls out in fiery unison One final prayer as the last light drowns Let this be the last word spoken Let this be the final song Let all know we are still here

『 One Final Prayer as the Last Light Drowns 』
