[center][h2] Millu'ci'vanda [/h2][/center] I slip into the co-pilot's seat. "We get snagged by a black hole, you think?" [center][h2] Koraline Okarr [/h2][/center] "No, this feels different. Almost alive, or at least mechanical. Everything I try gets countered. I swerve one way, it pulls me the other! I speed up, it holds tighter!" I pull on the yoke, trying to maneuver the ship away, but it barely budges. There is another shudder, and the sound of stressed metal. I growl in annoyance. "Luci, get me visual on the dorsal turret! Maybe we can get a visual!" [center][h2] Millu'ci'vanda [/h2][/center] I type in a few keys, bringing up a small video feed from the top turret. For a moment, everything on screen is completely black, almost as if the camera is turned off. But then, as the turret swivels to face the rear of the ship, a spot of light can be seen. "What is that?" I press another key, and the image magnifies, the spot of light to be a massive, asymmetrical mound of twisted metal; as if a thousand starships had been crushed together into a giant ball.
