Aboard the TFS Uictoria, Al’i was debriefed and then cleared by Dr. Ishî. Interested in seeing how a space jump station drop-off was made via a ship, she headed to the observation deck near the commons.
She wasn’t alone. Being about 4 feet taller than the Tiur, she had no issue getting a view. There was a loud blast as a sphere shot out ahead of them. The sphere burst into five smaller spheres, with a connection between them. A huge flash of light blinded Al’i. An electric charge could be seen going through the connected lines to the spheres. The station was running.
Al’i then realized what was about to happen. Oh no. The ship took the jump through the station and the hole created. She clutched her stomach. At least I didn’t puke this time, she thought as a voice came over the ship’s communication system, “Now entering the Tiur System.” She decided to make her way back to her quarters.
When alone in her room, she took out her Thavma communications portal, “Left hub called New Thav with space jump station in place. People seem anxious about foreign help, including Thavmain. Worried about a takeover. Advise to proceed slowly at first. No seemingly intact government left, but hub itself in great condition. Before Panth attack, told hub housed around 4,000 Thavmains. Maybe a couple hundred left. Entering the Tiur system now.”
