"We don't want the communion getting ahold of this technology any more than you do. Better to destroy it here than worry about the communion tracking the planet to its new location." He turned to speak to just the Praetorians. "And I feel safer knowing that it is not in his hands either. He is dangerous enough if he can destroy a planet barehanded. Let us escort the Pirates out of here. Then we will have to discuss if we can make him an ally or at least convince him to go back to leaving the galaxy alone."
Avenger Assembled Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 It all seemed pat after that - maybe too pat. Lelak disappeared past their port-side, flashing out halfway across the solar system, and then rocketed towards the planet beneath at relativistic speeds so fast that he blurred an impossible shade of blue as he struck the planet on the nearest hemisphere. With a flash of silent light, the heroes watched from their spaceship as the planet's surface erupted in volcanic fury and began to fracture, just as the great wormhole opened to swallow the planet up and send its fragments hurtling away to who-knew-where? The Communion ships, arriving to take up positions around the wormhole, completely ignored both them and the last remaining Hunger ship, instead forming a ring around the new gateway opened in the fabric of space. Of Lelak, and of the world of the Masters, there was no sign. As they watched, the Hunger ship moving close to theirs for a rendezvous, debris began to pour out of the wormhole - shards of broken metal and ships that gleamed and burned with the lights of freshly-lit plasma fires. The burning remains of Lelak's homeworld had hit _something_ beyond.
Tiffany Korta Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 At almost the very moment the question formed on her lips the elder aliens was gone, an extreme reaction to the Communion. there must be something that made him react so badly, if only they’d been able to find out in time. She swore literally and figuratively, loudly and creatively in her native tongue. Still there be time to consider what they’d gained and lost later, for now they’d had work to do. “Okay I want us between the Communion and the Hunters until the planet reaches it destination. I don’t want either touched by them until both are gone.â€
