The model will be useful as we continue monitoring Giant’s Deep. Also I very much wanted to make a model.
~ Spire

Spire was a Nomai scientist who worked in the Southern Observatory, along with Conoy.

Southern Observatory[]

Spire was responsible for building the model of Giant's Deep which allowed them to determine the difference between the two types of cyclones there.[1] When Cassava questioned the need to make a full model for this, Spire defended themself by saying that it should prove useful for further study but admitted that they very much wanted to make a model.[2]

The Interloper[]

Spire was the one to notice the Interloper approach the solar system.[3] This led to Yarrow sending Clary, Poke, and Pye to the comet to investigate it. Poke and Pye found out that the comet contained a casing with a lethal matter that was under immense pressure.[4] Before they could warn the other Nomai, the casing ruptured, instantly blanketing the solar system in the lethal matter and killing all Nomai living there.

Trivia[]

  • The blue spire is the most common cultivar of the salvia yangii, a flowering plant and subshrub.

  1. CONOY: Spire and I are crafting a model to determine why this happened. SPIRE: An update: It’s now clear there are two different types of cyclone.
  2. SPIRE: The model will be useful as we continue monitoring Giant’s Deep. SPIRE: Also I very much wanted to make a model.
  3. YARROW: Return to Ash Twin first, my friend. Perhaps a change of task would help: Spire noticed a comet approaching this star system that we’d like to investigate.
  4. POKE: Pye, I don’t think we want this matter interacting with us. As far as I can tell, direct contact with it would almost certainly be fatal. PYE: I’ve never encountered anything like this casing, but it’s all that’s protecting us from what’s inside. Worse still, this matter is disturbingly volatile. POKE: ...Pye. Whatever the matter inside this stone casing is, it’s more than just profoundly unstable; it’s under tonnes of pressure. Look at this density scan. I’ve never seen anything this tightly compacted before! What is this?
