Anyone who sets foot on one of the moons for the first time is surprised to find that they have the same gravitational pull as the planet itself.
Graviton enhancers were drilled into their crusts many sweeps ago, doing most of the heavy lifting on the satellite's poles — a magnetic thrum beneath your feet, keeping you and these landfill mountains grounded. Gotta admit, seeing all of this junk up close every night has given you a new perspective on the state of Repiton's local beaching spots. Maybe they're not THAT bad after all.
This kid was probably looking for a clearing and wound up finding more of the same hazardous lumps instead. You doubt he managed to stray too far.
