In the improbable vastness, there is mercy.

Why father why.

Contact. The thing has grown from ABC.

Psy-sensoriumvirate detect multiple attack vectors converging on Operation Javelin.

They are ready for nothing.

Not even one C-beam reached a black ship. Not even close.

They never had a chance, after they were done with them, broken pipes were singing like wind chimes on necks that should not breathe. Eat or be eaten is the whole of the fleet.

They rest are carried inside. All are quilted, wilted and worse.

A mountain-full of reminiscence gathered from all those in attendance.

Most can’t hold the pretense.

Walls shift and tendons howl.

Two walks through somehow.

Not even one antimatter warp-torpedo reached a black ship. Not even close.
