“Mostly something called Sanctuary Moon.” He shook his head, dismissing it. “It’s probably using it to encode data for the company.

“From the stars, came the ground. From the ground, we stood. To the ground, we return. Here, at the Centre of our lives, we carry our beloved dead. We honour their breath, which fills our lungs. We honour their blood, which fills our hearts. We honour their bodies, which fuel our own. We honor you.”
― Becky Chambers, Record of a Spaceborn Few
