Re: CHAPTER 1: The Crowns Darkest Jewel
The man who helped Lee gets to the bridge and is directed to some other controls... "eh... this is a bit odd..." after messing with them a bit "Ok i'm going to punch in some coordinates keep on them and we will be fine." On the screen before raven comes up several vectors making a tunnel of sorts for him to fly through.
"ok here goes nothing...."
Lines of energy move outward from his station spreading through the ship inside and out. The energy keeps building until it's released all at once and a large votex of energy builds up in fount of the ship and engulfs it. The ship now folding space is soon aproching 1/10th the speed of light, and leaves the jellyfish in it's dust.
The guy groans a bit and seams a little warn out by the feat. "nnn wow... got us all the way there in one go.... it's going to take us ... I would say 5 hours... if that's to much I can take a rest and switch off with you in a bit?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While that's going on down bellow a message comes through.
<All ships, this is the CCG Dreadnoughts Zeus and Artemis, stay clear of coordinates *blalbalba* we are not slowing down our approach. I repeat stay clear, there will be a gametic disturbance as we arive. We will be there in T - 00:10:00 MARK, hold out just a little bit longer>
People seam to lighten up some, but... what happens next ruins all that.
On the screen the interrupters can be seen clearing away from the bulge at the bottom of the Vivo. Like a bursting pimple the mass swells and swells and tairs open spewing forth a stream of green acidic plasma nearly as hot as the surface of the sun down onto one of the moons larger cities. Like getting hit with a close range coronal discharge, having nucular waist dumped on you, and raining boiling acid all at once the city goes dark almost instantly save for the explosions and raging green flames spreading over the moons surface.
Before the full devastation can be witnessed though the ship suddenly accelerates and the moon quickly starts to shrink away.
Cryies of horror and shock fill the cargo bay as people start to panic again... from the sounds that can be made out of people that know the moon well enugh, it seams the city hit was Neo New York... The center of the colonial government.
Even Amaphutha seams distraught by it lowering her ears and asking to no one "Mother?"
