...None: as of press time, Seth was rumoured to have gotten in ten pages to his advisor; still, all but his staunchest supporters have given up. Those few who have seen Seth have reported that his skin appears to be strangely greyish, and his eyes are bloodshot from the combined effects of Akva and sleep deprivation.

...moon is essentially grey, no color," Astronaut Lovell reported. "Looks like plaster of paris, or sort of a greyish deep sand. We can see quite a bit of detail. The Sea of Fertility doesn't stand out as well here as it does on earth. There's not as much contrast between that and the surrounding craters. The craters are all rounded off.
