Interlude 2: Traveling with Thoughts
Sigma's Lead Ship
A Few Moments After Session 72
Death Star sighed and leaned against the viewport, staring at hyperspace. Hyperspace was the mosty deadly of all weapons. Ship has to undergo proper procedures to endure the deadly hyperspace. If the hyper shields were screwed up any or the hull wasn't designed right, the ship would explode instantly in hyperspace. No force alive could live in hyperspace or survive in it.

The Wastelands
Enforcer shifted weight to carry Shatter, who was still out. They had been travleing the better part of the day. Iceheart was in the lead, Siawase on her head asleep. Wiendigo was off to the side, but in the middle of the group. Dominator and Booster were walking side by side along the way toward the rear fo the group, and he and Gorgon were the rear.
"Do you have any idea where we're going?" he asked Dominator.
Dominator shook his head. "Right now, our main objective is just to continue going to get away from the homing beacon. After we cover some ground, we'll decide on a plan of action."
The group continued to walk...
