The Price of Sight

[Das Wilde Wesen]

The Snubnose bomber sat in Omega 41, very close to the rift in space that led to Gamma.

Unmoving. Avoided by Corsiar Titan patrols. It waited.

A certain Titan hurled into Omega 41, propelled by the rift. Followed shortly by a Nephthys. The Nephthys quickly moved to get a firing lock on the Titan.

**We think not**

The Snubnose watched as the pilot of the Nephthys started to twitch, then writhe in pain. The being controlling the Snubnose concentrated. The pilot of the Nephthys screamed as blood started leaking from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

With a small twitch the Snubnose launched a ball of energy that turned the Nephthys into nothingness.

The Snubnose sat still as a certain Titan sped away.

**We Protect** it whispered.
