The Last Story
“For a moment nothing changed. The eggs were too small to be seen over a distance of any kind. That was the beauty of them. They were virtually undetectable, especially inside the cloud. Their main viewing screen was now turned solely toward the Orion ship.
Without warning the Orion ship turned a brilliant white.
Everyone on the bridge yelled in delight.
"Did they explode?" Sarteen shouted out, not waiting for the glare of the bombs to subside. Pareen stood hunched over his instrument panels.
"T...heir ship hit several of the eggs" he said. "It did not explode, but the Orion vessel appears damaged. They have ceased accelerating." The hull of the Crystal protested as they plunged deeper into the cloud. The lights flickered once more and the bridge rocked. "How are we doing?" Sarteen asked.
"Not as bad as it sounds," Pareen answered. "We'll be past it in ten seconds." His prediction proved accurate. The pressure on the hull stopped as the glare from the bombs subsided.
Finally they were able to see the Orion ship.MoreLess
