[color=indigo][h1]The dead drift[/h1][/color] [color=indigo][h3]Location: 35[/h3][/color] "35" Slowly emerged from the underground port of Tutum-Infectis. Through the massive windows in the recreation room the brigade could make out the massive shapes of future gharials, like the future wrens after being injected some had escaped to the surface of the planet. The gharial's massive black hides made them almost invisible when leaned against the side of a mountain, which some older ones were almost as large as. One about the size of a school bus took notice of the ship leaving the port and decided to see what was up. Only seconds after it reached the side of the port the engines fired up. As massive potassium powered purple fires slowly pulled the ship towards the rift the gharial was exposed to heat that could melt bone to ashes in less then a second. It walked away steaming, but alive thanks to the SFEI. As the ship approached the rift one by one all the power went out. Whether it was from the poor design, power of the rift, or both soon the whole ship was gliding into the wormhole with no way to stop itself. The pilot, Kefp was extremely worried by this, as any would be. What worried him more was the debris that was hitting the ship. Large pieces of rock and metal constantly hit the sides of the craft, often sending the passengers sprawling through the anti-gravity. It wasn't until the jukebox came that there was any real danger. After a particularly large hunk from the side of what appeared to be the Circuit-planetae (the space station that the first people through the gateway lived on) hit the side of the ship a small jukebox crashed through a window. The two abberians inside didn't notice at first, due to the conditions of outer space being similar to those of the surface, which they were evolved to withstand, and continued their anti-gravity ping-pong game. At least, they did until 21 pilots "ride" started blaring through the speakers of the jukebox. [i]"I'd die for you" that's easy to say We have a list of people that we would take A bullet for them, a bullet for you A bullet for everybody in this room But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through Metaphorically, I'm the man But literally, I-[/i] The abrupt ending was from SGT Roy Rodgers. Back on the Dead drift he led the security team, and after losing a whole squadron to abberians he was having some trouble trusting them. Every time he looked into one of those pale faces, he remembered the looks on his friend's faces as they were crushed to death by guards in the tunnels. Of course the two guards on board the ship also had trouble trusting him. They had gotten an order from the queen to kill all humans, but also not to kill any unless they posed a threat, this confused them as they had spent their whole life only following five rules, now there were six and one of them contradicted the other. "Wow, amazing. A relic of the past bursts through the window of the room you were in and you didn't notice." Said SGT Rodgers with a fake smile. "I knew most of your kind were idiots, but I didn't think it could get this bad." He continued fake smile slowly turning real. "There are only four people on this ship who can punish you and I'm one of them so get your sorry-" SGT Rodgers stopped talking when he noticed the mass beyond the broken window. Taking a deep breath of filtered suit air he stammered and tried, but couldn't take his eyes away from it. The massive star that had always lit the surface of the dead drift was pulsing. The two abberians turned to face it as well. Three small shuttles launched from the port, no one noticed. The star got larger and larger, The abberians and Rodgers could feel the heat dropping. Then the star began heating up, and heating up. SGT Rodgers grabbed the abberians by the collars of their shirts and pulled them away into the air lock leading to the main part of the ship. Just before "35" passed into the gateway the star went supernova. Whether it was from the poor design, power of the rift, or both everyone on the ship blacked out before they could see what happened next.
