Prologue 1

A spherical ship drifted through the void. Smoke bellowing from the mangled metal beneath the thruster, jagged shrapnel peppered the hull, and the ships name seared away from the scorch blackened side.

A baby's cries could be heard within the passenger cabin of the escape shuttle that belonged to the Syracuse Fortified Mobile Research Facility. Blood and scorch marks littered the room. A cloud of ash floated through the room with a few pieces of melted wires. An occasional tooth or bone fragment could be briefly seen as the cloud of dust moved like smoke collapsing upon itself before expanding again. In the center of the room, a baby girl floated helplessly as blood and ash seemed to part a path around her keeping her the cleanest thing in the room. The corpses that remained mostly intact were in the next room over. The flight deck of the passenger escape pod was in shambles. Sparks were flying and heavy amounts of smoke was in the air, as small drones attempted to put out electrical fires. The drones themselves were no bigger than a 12 oz soda can. There was obviously too much fire for them to contain. The ship was about to slam into an asteroid when suddenly the baby stopped crying. Everything within the cabin that was not strapped down started to spin around the child. Bolts of electricity could be seen jumping between the items in her encirclement. A purple tinted electrical current could be seen jolting around the exterior of the vessel.

...Zzzzzzzzztchuuuuuuuuuuuu.....

The ship vanished as a purple streak of light shockwaves out from where the ship was. This pushed the large asteroid aside and sent it on a long journey. Meanwhile, the ship reappeared over a planet and started to enter the atmosphere. It flew past a few mountains, skipped off the peak of another, and enveloped the sky in a bright fire.
