So I was bopping along, working on my obsidian factory (Just sealing up the water tank's floor and connecting the axles to the magma pumps left before I can do a test run and get enough obsidian to finish the lever-connecting I need to do), when I realized I hadn't checked on the rest of my fortress in a while.  I popped down to ground level and scrolled around a bit.  Nothing out of place, no one was yelling at me, everything seemed fine.  Then I saw something.

Something eerie. Something which could not be explained by the whims of man or program.

I saw... my trade depot.

I'm a little concerned about my obsidian works test now.

[LumenPlacidum]

The stars are right!

You must continue in your obsidian manufacturing efforts.  It's the only way to... not get devoured.

[Tylui]

ooh... Creepy.  You oughtta just double/triple check to make sure everything'll go smoothly before you continue with the tests, eh?

[Haven]

Maybe they want better working conditions?

I AM SINISTAR.

BEWARE I LIVE.

COWARD!

RUN! RUN! RUN!

I HUNGER!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[Caz]

I...

I don't get it.

*cries*

[Moogie]

*Does not get it either*

...Is it supposed to look like a creepy face or something? =(

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, I'm not sure what we're supposed to see here.

[Kagus]

It's a skull-star.  The barrels and bins in the trade depot form the rough image of a skull, and the green (olivine?) flooring around it makes it look like a star.

Or were you talking about the SiniStar reference?

[Wild Goose]

You definitely need to get cracking on your mining, then, and make some SiniBombs to get rid of your trade depot.
Because I bet if you tried to disassemble it, it would just eat your workers.

[Dareon Clearwater]

Yeah, it's a skull.  The Sinistar reference completely escaped me, though.  The flooring's going to be part of a compass rose centered on my trade depot.  I just noticed the barrels and bins in that pattern and went "Waiiit a minute... That's a skull!"

[Moogie]

AAAHHhhhhh I see it now.  

I'm just not used to the vanilla tileset I guess. I don't think I've ever used it, infact, so that's probably why.

[Cthulhu]

Urist cancels Construct Building: Sinibomb.

[KrunkSplein]

Yeah, I'm not sure what we're supposed to see here.

First thing I thought of was one of the Old Ones' footprints.  I figured you'd jump right on it.
