The Devil You Know

[James Greed]

Even with the events unfolding as planned, seeing the giant asteroid shatter was almost frightening. The Poltergeist applies a 3 percent reverse thrust to be better protected by the asteroids of her choosing. Still, this was more than promising. The Slaughter loosing shields like that was an easy opening. However, not an opening for the 'geist to take.

As opposed to the chaos that is ought to be the bridge of the Slaughter, the glorified command tower of this ominous Hel was silent. The bridge crew patiently waiting for an order, or anything similar from the marauder in command. None such came. Her grin lasted for a couple more seconds before reducing back into the usual lack of emotion. Finally, an addendum to the silence followed.

"Any second now. Brace."
