Strider stood in place throughout the whole event, motionless.  He did not brace for the jump, he just let it happen.  And then it happened.  For a moment he was somewhere else; a vast abyss surrounded by stars.  No water, no ship, nothing.  Just Strider standing alone... on a star?  And then suddenly he was back on the ship.  He checked his readouts and instinctively pulsed the sensors to locate any possible threats in the vicinity while the rest of the crew appeared to be staring out of a window.  The pulse came back with news.  Bad news?  Good news?  He didn't know.  There was something moving underwater, something massive and alive.  Whatever it was, it seemed in a hurry to be the first to the welcoming party.  

Strider yelled out, "Unknown hard contact on Short Range Pulse Sensors! Large Biological Creature, 50 meters subsurface at 1.5 miles, Bearing 032. Collision Course!" as he ran through sensor feeds.  "It's coming at us fast.  We've got 20 seconds before it's on top of us.  Get us in the air!"
