A Gathering Of Clouds

[Reverend Del]

That much energy loosed on one world was enough for the Void Planet Killer to require re-charging, the Void scouts though, continued to look for other potential targets.

Exiting into Frankfurt space they detected a number of stations and other ships, clearly the sentient infection was greater than had first appeared, excising would take more than the resources available to date. The lead scout prepared a message to send to the host mind, but discovered it could not reach out, it was cut off. Falling back into preprogrammed subroutines it began to cast out for the source of the jamming.

Five blue shapes appeared out of the nothingness, and headed for the scouts on what was clearly an attack vector. The scouts ran. Trying to get out of the range of the jamming, to send word to the fleet that the Enemy had made a first move. They never made it, blue lances of energy cut the first scout in half, its silent scream filling the minds of the alien creatures attacking it. The effect was minimal as another scout died to the Nomad weaponry. The fight was short and brutal, the nomad vessels vanished as swiftly as they'd arrived. All that remained was the floating remains of the scouts, with barely any testimony as to what had happened.
