30. Finale #SST25
30. Finale The daring adventurers had finished their explorations of the Forge, months of preparation had led to this moment and they were running, they’d set up a series of explosives within vital systems and were fleeing before they set off, beginning a cascade failure of the Forge’s systems. The party reached the elevator, bundling in as one of them punched the button lifting them up and away from danger. Their ship was prepared in the hangar and they were ready to go the second the adventurers were on board. As the elevator hurtled upward, explosions began to ring out beneath them, getting louder and louder as flashes of light began illuminating the Fire Brigade. It was a tense minute as the elevator rose, the forge felt like it was already beginning to shake itself apart but the damage hadn’t reached the reactor yet. The elevator reached the top, and impatient to escape, one of the party blasted the doors, sending them flying outward as they began to hear the scuttling of security drones pursuing them up the shaft. The party ran, through the hallway and down the ramp to the hangar, more explosions rang out as they began running up the ramp to board the ship, one of the party stopping to trigger a stowed cannon, allowing it to deal even more damage to the forge. The last of the crew boarded the ship, and one of the party, the noblewoman, gave the order for them to take off. The ship flew out of the hangar, seconds before explosions began to tear through the area. They all watched with bated breath, as one of them counted down, when her countdown reached 0, the forge exploded, the shockwave pushing their ship forward, through the rapidly closing warp gate they were aiming for, ready to take them home.

29. Drones #SST25
A day late but here we are, posting 30 separately as it'll be the final and longest entry in this whole deal.
29. Drones Within the Lower Forge, intricate systems spread throughout, feeding power and materials to the complicated systems spread throughout, from the power collectors on the outside all the up to the component fabricators within maintenance, and these systems weren’t maintained by themselves. Patrolling the Lower Forge were a series of drones, humanoid automatons with arms and legs, spider-like crawlers able to get into the smallest gaps where needed, and even ball shaped ones, able to roll along and get to the most urgent repairs where needed. Along with these were also a series of security drones, ready to deal with any intruder, thieves, or saboteurs. Mostly they kept well hidden, and were armed with a variety of weaponry, including darts filled with a toxin able to suppress all kinds of fantastical abilities that any intruders may have.

28. Exploration #SST25
28. Exploration The party of adventurers took their first steps aboard the Forge space station, finding an eerily quiet and empty upper section of the station, save for a chatty couple of human replica automatons that pointed the party toward their initial target, Zarmer, member of the council of arcanum, who was busy building a body for a demigod to inhabit. Upon defeating Zarmer and this partially reborn demigod, the party spent days exploring the upper areas of the forge, finding dormant creature eggs and creatures in suspended animation. They found the hangar and set the three autognome mechanics to work, repairing and restoring the council’s flagship ready for the party to make their escape. Much of the Lower Forge still remains primed and ready for exploration, many defense and maintenance systems await, along with other dangers that the adventurers will have to avoid.

26. Superliminal and 27. Station #SST25
I don't know for sure if i interpreted the definition of superliminal correctly, but I hope I still wrote something interesting.
26. Superliminal Wensleydale lay within the quarantine bay she’d been taken to, despite the healer’s best efforts, she’d been unable to cure the parasite that was slowly overtaking the dragon. As Wensleydale resigned herself to this fate, she lay locked within this chamber, though surprisingly this hive mind consciousness that the parasite had seemed to allow her to feel other perspectives, even if it was slowly making her feel less connected to her own body. Sure she could see the four walls of her cell, but at the same time she could see a far off mountain landscape down on the planet below, along with a war torn battlefield where the parasite had taken over a dying soldier. Eventually she’d be entirely taken over by this hive mind, but for now she could at least enjoy these alternate views, rather than simply remaining helpless, lying there within her cell. It may take hundreds of years, but eventually she is found, cured, and fully restored. While the parasite was eradicated from the planet below, being eradicated once and for all by those wielding great power to cure Wensleydale. 27. Station The Forge of Arcanum was a wonderful, yet at the same time terrible space station. Hidden above the planet below it had powerful cloaking technology to avoid detection, while only a few knew of its existence and guarded the secret closely. The station consisted of two main sections, with the Upper Forge consisting of three floors, the topmost containing living quarters, a luxurious observation deck, and an advanced medbay with cloning technology. The middle floor contained the main reception, where two robotic administrators waited to serve the station’s owners however they saw fit. The lower floor contained elevators leading to the Lower Forge, along with the hangar bay, and a set of greenhouses in front of a small animal enclosure. The Lower Forge was where the space station manufactured terrible weapons. It featured a factory floor, a whole robotic maintenance crew, assembly stations, and at the bottom there was a large bay where the Godkiller was being built, a humanoid figure the size of a skyscraper, ready to be piloted to deliver destruction beyond what anyone had ever seen before.

24. Testflight and 25. LASERS #SST25
24. Testflight Victor sat in the cockpit of his tiny craft, the council’s prototype, slightly annoyed at the fact he was chosen for this task due to his size compared with the others, but it mattered not, so long as all went well, he’d soon be the first of them to get to go into space, and to be able to look out upon the planet from above. He was nervous, sat in a tiny lightweight craft, crystalline engines ready to propel him upward, he had faith it was going to work, but even so he couldn’t help but wonder whether it could go wrong. He had all his magic and abilities to fall back on, but he hoped he could make it through safely and uninjured, especially considering his girlfriend Vaylin was watching. He sealed the canopy, primed the engines and set for launch, everything seemed ready to go, he just had to hope. Before long he was soaring, propelled forward and upward faster than anyone had been before, parts of this flimsy test craft shaking and flexing in a concerning manner but managing to hold on as he rose, higher and higher into the sky, far above the cloud layer before passing through, the majesty of space suddenly being revealed bringing a tear to his eye. He spent a few minutes in space before carefully making a descent, managing to land safely despite a couple of the engine mounts snapping during the return journey. 25. LASERS Ordinarily, there would be no way to send commands between the Forge space station and those on land, though those clever enough within the council of arcanum were able to figure out a method. A laser, a concentrated beam of energy sent up at precisely the right time of day and sent up at the precise angle needed, would allow for a communication to be sent to or from the Forge, allowing for information, orders, or supply requests, along with notifying the hidden base station of the calculations for the next days transmission. It was this laser system, this method of communication, that allowed one council member, still alive after centuries, to order the machines on the surface to gather particular supplies for him, allowing him the parts, along with genetic samples, that would allow him to create something, or someone, truly monstrous.

23. Blue #SST25
23. Blue The great blue ocean was visible on all sides, and leant against the side of this small rowboat was a heavily injured man. Jarrus looked out, his clothes were shredded and torn, barely anything was left of his shirt while nothing remained of his trousers below the knees. He continued staring out, disassociating after just about managing to escape from this island base in the middle of the sea. He’d been investigating a cult who’d shown up recently, following them aboard a ship which led to that base. It was here that Jarrus heard about the Forge space station, and knew that he needed to get out of there and stop whatever this plan was. Jarrus had been found shortly after that, strapped to an operating table in a “conversion chamber”, he wasn’t sure what exactly it was meant to do, but fortunately he’d managed to break out before the process had been completed. Though he hadn’t come out unscathed. The conversion chamber had hacked off his lower legs, replacing them with uncomfortable prosthetics, then doing the same with his right arm, brutally drilling a socket into his torso to attach the arm to. He felt the chamber attach something to his back before going to remove his other arm. He continued floating in the rowboat, hoping it’d take him to civilisation and someone who could help him, along with allies to potentially bring down this Forge thing.

22. Fire! #SST25
Trying a more poetic type thing for this one, not sure how it works, but my players named their party the Fire Brigade so this feels somewhat appropriate.
22. Fire! Fire, the most used element wielded by the adventuring party known as the Fire Brigade. Fire, the action used to describe an attack using the firearms that most of the members wield. This party, formed around the rescue of a lone investigator, and endorsed by a powerful nobleman before being joined by his firstborn daughter, now looks set to destroy a great evil sitting in orbit, The Forge Space Station. Fire, the command likely to be issued, setting off a chain reaction to destroy the station, as the Brigade make a daring escape, returning to the planet as heroes.

21. Junk #SST25
21. Junk The noblewoman’s father was an inventor of some repute, along with being the lord who sent her party to the forge station to blow it up. The party had fought valiantly and slain the surviving council member along with his experiment, a new body built to house the consciousness and power of a demigod. She looked over the machinery used to create this experiment, pieces of glass and metal that once formed a pod, now reduced to a pile of junk and rubble on the ground. She knew she wanted to bring some advanced technology back for her father, and so picked through the pile, picking out pieces that looked to be of interest. Pieces of copper pipe attached to complicated looking valve sets with a series of dials and gauges that seemed incomprehensible to her, but perhaps her father could make use of these. She finished gathering and stowing interesting items carefully in her pack before moving back over to the rest of her party.

19. Missiles and 20. Ruins #SST25
These were hard to think of anything good to write about that matched up with the Forge station.
19. Missiles Missiles, a hidden defence system set up around all possible approaches to the forge. These high explosive devices were set up in such a way that they could be fired by anyone who connected themselves to the man/machine interface within the control room. Though at this point, no one ever fired any missiles, and after almost a millennium, it’s entirely possible that these missiles may never be fired, being left to degrade within the firing chambers dotted throughout the forge’s exterior hull. 20. Ruins Hidden deep within a cave atop a rocky outcropping within the northern salt bluffs was an ancient bunker where one of the council’s top scientists went into hiding. He’d kept it safe and had even built a dimensional portal within, allowing his terraforming device to be hidden elsewhere, far outside of the hands of those who would misuse his device. He knew that one day people would eventually come looking for his passkey to the forge, but knew that that day may come long after he had passed away. He decided to take drastic action, constructing a device capable of holding his consciousness. He perfected everything about it, then when the time came, sat in his chair and began the transfer, his body expiring in the process.

17. Mercenary and 18. Ambush #SST25
17. Mercenary The adventurers tasked with finding and destroying the Forge space station were initially hired as a group of mercenaries. The soldier Jarrus had been gravely injured and trapped within a lifeboat when the group came to his aid. Needing allies for his investigation to find this forge before a strange group of cultists got their hands on the tools to access it, he offered the three young people work. Amazingly they all started working well as a team, together finding the first below ground bunker containing one of the access keys they required, before returning to the soldier’s home base, now able to report in. His mercenaries ended up being rather loyal, so their employment was extended, now being managed by the special forces branch the soldier was a member of. The group have been loyal to the cause this long, but it remains to be seen what will happen once they destroy the forge station, if they even destroy it rather than seizing it for their own gain. 18. Ambush! The adventurers were traipsing through a boggy swampland, mud caking their boots as they all moved along in pursuit of the teleporter that’d beam them inside the forge station. They spotted a trio of what looked like human bodies, lying face down in a bog, unmoving. It was only when the young mage Faith stepped in and attempted to try and administer some healing did the creatures attack. Looking like bloated human corpses with extra appendages and limbs, these creatures lunged at the group. The party took the battle to these creatures, shooting, blasting, and cutting them down, and while one of their allies had been knocked down, a small amount of healing energy restored her, and the party were victorious, managing to fend off this ambush in the swamp, becoming one step closer to making it within the forge station.

16. Armour #SST25
16. Armour The forge station was able to create many wonders, to some it could create hugely powerful weapons, others could make life sustaining and giving technologies, another used it to build a prototype kit capable of making any land viable for agriculture. But one member of the Council of Arcanum had designs for a powerful suit of armour. A powered suit, allowing everything about the wearer to be enhanced. Thus one prototype suit was slaved over day and night, making the servos, the internal lining, the armour plating and the reactive systems all work flawlessly together. In theory anyone could step inside this suit, and as long as it had power it’d perform as if it were a second skin. A dancer who’d never even slipped into the lightest leather armour could put this suit on and perform their same award winning dances with the same grace. The suit had one shortcoming, and that was how quickly it drained power. Each proprietary power cell would allow for an hour of use, but advanced features such as flight, heavy lifting and enhanced speed would drain the cell even faster. Sadly this suit never saw the light of day, and the unimaginatively named “advanced power armour mark 1” has sat in storage untouched for nearly a thousand years at this point.

14. Carrier and 15. Wingman #SST25
14. Carrier While many believed the teleporter to be the only way to access the Forge space station now that it’d been cloaked, hidden far out at sea was a supply carrier, tucked away it’s dock disguised as a simple rock formation among many, this small supply carrier could autonomously make trips back and forth between the station and the planet’s surface, with a few caveats. First off, it wasn’t fast, and would take at least a week to fly up and reach the station and drop off any supplies loaded aboard. Secondly, it was only a small vessel with a few compartments, nothing too large or heavy can be carried on board. Thirdly and most importantly, it cannot carry anything living, this isn’t a question of morality, but practicality. There is no space for a pressurised interior, nor power to spare for a functioning air bubble. Had there been more time to develop this supply carrier further, some of those issues could have been fixed. Though in the absence of anything else, the forge can thank it’s continued functionality after all these years to this little autonomous supply carrier, dutifully carrying supplies up to the station over and over again for centuries. 15. Wingman Ace pilot Harra flew his patrol craft following the merchant’s route, the captain of the merchant convoy had reported some weird findings in this system, so Harra and his wingman Reto were here to investigate. At that moment Reto’s voice came over the comm “Hate to say it bud but i’m just not seeing anything, red moon might give me an ominous feeling but the scanners aren’t showing anything, just some storms and primitive life forms. No signs of that weird floating living cityscape either.” Harra sighed before responding “I guess that captain must’ve just been paranoid after all, though I do have a strange feeling too. Maybe let’s follow the route out of the system, stick close together just in case anything does show up?” Reto responds before moving into position “Sure, that’s what good wingmen are for, i’ll follow your lead, keeping the scanners on just in case” It was a somewhat tense journey following the route out of the system, but the scanners remained clear, so they reported as much, even if they couldn't shake the feeling that there was something watching them.

12. Docking and 13. Red #SST25
Another double feature after being too tired last night. Wrote both of these on the train this morning
12. Docking The Council’s flagship moved in close to the pirate vessel they’d crippled, there were many holes in the vessel but fortunately this modified Bombard class freighter’s air bubble was still functioning, allowing the council members and their mechanical servants to board unimpeded aside from the remaining pirates who were waiting. The doors opened and the pirates began firing primitive weapons at them, mainly simple crossbows and slings, most attacks simply bouncing off the shields of the boarding party. One pirate at the back appeared to be some kind of sorcerer channelling a powerful ability, but the council were prepared for this, one of their automaton servants launched a wrist dart in the sorcerer’s direction, the toxin quickly taking effect and suppressing his ability to use any arcane abilities. Fear spread across this large man’s face before he was hit with a barrage of attacks that lit him up like a holiday festival before he fell back, a smoking husk, his staff rolling away to the side of the corridor. The council slaughtered their way through the rest of the pirates, taking complete control of the ship, and victorious they took the ship back to port along with their own flagship. 13. Red Red, the colour of the moon of ill omen, but also the colour of the alert they received today, the planet’s greatest floating city had fallen, the god slaying weapon within had been found about by the gods and their divine fury had torn it asunder, casting it from the sky. The Council, while attempting to make their own comparable weapons, had been more careful, keeping their Forge cloaked and shielded out in space. Yet they knew it was too much of a risk to remain aboard, and so they abandoned the forge for a time, leaving it hidden in maintenance mode. Cloaked from all, the only means of access now via a teleporter synched with the Forge. Security was paramount, meaning that the teleporter was kept hidden underground, only locatable via three technological compasses. Each member of the council would carry one to be stored in a location only known to them, preventing any rogue members from sneaking back to the forge without agreement from others within the council. After this was done, the council reconvened on the planet's surface weeks later, locking themselves within a hidden bunker until such time as the wars raging on the planet were over and it was safe to return to the forge. Unfortunately the council would not survive this long, first their bunker was seemingly infiltrated, a young wizard appeared inside appearing to have been cursed by one of Zarmer’s inventions. Yet during his examination of this young woman, she somehow managed to escape, stealing a variety of their valuable equipment before diving through a portal.

11. Dropship #SST25
11. Dropship The moon came up quickly as the ship descended toward it’s surface, the shielding glowing red as the ship entered it’s thin atmosphere, this small explorer class vessel sought to be the first to safely touch down upon the surface. The crew had been fitted with sealed suits for space exploration and stood together ready to rappel down ready to explore. The doors opened and all at once the six of them dropped down, the ropes lowering them the remaining distance to the surface of this moon, as the eerie red glow of the planet’s other moon backlit their ship. Boots on the ground, they all began moving around, exploring, experiencing the differing gravity here, while some of them looked for any rare minerals to pick up and take back, unique items that could be used, or pretty looking rocks or materials that could be taken back to their planet and sold to those groups who worshipped the moon as a deity.

9. Hunter & 10. Convoi #SST25
I missed yesterday so today is a double feature.
9. Hunter Eddison had been searching for hours, he’d been told to find and enact justice against the council of arcanum for their many crimes. He’d searched all above the planet’s orbit but there was no sign of them whatsoever. For now his energy was spent and he began to drop down to the planet’s surface. It would take years for him to find them, in between he carried out multiple other jobs for his lord, mostly protecting citizens from the chaos unleashed upon the world. Then one fateful day he received a message from a couple of council members, co-ordinates for a subterranean bunker along with a request that they be allowed to leave. Eddison soared through the sky at high speed, launching off energy blasts at the co-ordinates for this bunker, explosions rapidly carving up the ground and opening up a path for him to blast his way in. All but two of the council attempted to stop him, firing off numerous attacks that bounced off his shielding. The two remaining members simply watched as Eddison annihilated the rest with blasts of energy. The couple just giving him a nod as they left hand in hand. 10. Convoi A small group of merchant ships flew quietly through space, trying to give this one planet a wide berth, a strange energy field surrounded it and there were concerns raised about it’s second moon unnerving some of the crew. The captain of the lead ship just wanted to just get through this system as fast as possible, this area of wild space unnerved her, and after seeing through her scope the absolute horror show of what looked like an asteroid, but upon closer inspection appeared to be this horrifying mass that looked like a cityscape had merged with it’s citizenry, she just wanted to get past here as soon as possible. There’d also been a ping on her long distance scope she was wary of, something was out there that could be a threat, but the scanners couldn’t find any further detail. Whatever it was wasn’t pursuing, but it unnerved her knowing something was there. The rest of the bridge crew looked up as she breathed a great sigh of relief as they moved out of range of that system.

8. Spaceport #SST25
8. Spaceport Vaylin sat on the dockside of the spaceport, playing with the adorable little critter she’d taken as a pet some time ago, watching the rest of the Council, including her partner Victor, working on the final stages of assembly of their ship. Their spaceport had been constructed in secret, higher powers and other titanic beings may feel threatened if the group can pull this off, flying into space and being among the stars. Tucked away it was a fairly simple affair, a large warehouse built far from prying eyes, with a few cranes and sets of scaffolding to help with assembly. Vaylin couldn’t really do much but watch, her specialities lie within the weapon systems which had already been installed, while her real passion was living things such as her pet Jade Vine Dragonling keeping her company. Elsewhere within the spaceport her supplies lay waiting to be loaded onto the ship, several crates of animal eggs, kept dormant until a time at which she can safely incubate them, along with a box of plant and flower seeds of various types. She sat for a while before closing her eyes and drifting off, being woken some time later by her partner, letting her know it was time to go, to all board the ship, and fly out into space for the first time.

7. Green #SST25
7. Green Deep within the bowels of the Forge space station lay the arboretum and nursery areas, a passion project by a member of the council. She loved nature and wildlife, and knowing that a potentially world devastating event was coming, had made sure to take creatures and plants from the world below to keep them safe. Here she stared at one such grouping, within a glass case, a swarm of bee-like creatures moved between their hive and a series of rare flowers of many colours. She knew she had to leave the Forge soon and may not return for a long time, but she just hoped above all else that the systems she’d put in place would allow everything here to survive, or that the suspended animation bubbles her husband had created would save them, until such time as someone could take them from this place.

6. Tandem #SST25
Short and sweet, may have had to look up the word tandem, but it's a little prequel to Fighter.
6. Tandem The two ships flew in tandem, the single seat fighter hidden behind the council’s flagship, both as protection and to hide the fighter from the freighter that the pair were on the way to ambush. While this worked well tactically, the ships were fairly basic meaning that the fighter couldn’t really see much aside from the rear of the flagship, meaning that a crewmate of the flagship was having to make large hand signals in order to direct the fighter. As both ships approached the freighter, the flagship started moving to be positioned side by side with the freighter, and as such this crewmate began waving his arms wildly, signalling to the fighter pilot to move out of tandem and over to the flagship’s port side.

5. Freighter #SST25
5. Freighter The Planetcracker, as it was once known by it’s now former crew, was a Bombard class freighter, it’s defining feature being the incredibly large cannon whose barrel and firing mechanisms took up a majority of space on the cargo deck. It’s hardly fair to call it a freighter at this point, but the crew used it to raid various worlds, and the cargo holds were once filled with exotic treasures from across space. The last voyage it was on when it was captured by the Council of Arcanum, had been to a world known as Theramore, a land whose people filled with bright colours, vibrant multicolour lights, and many gadgets and music playing devices. Some of these had been taken, with the pirates hoping to sell much of this on for a profit. Though they had also taken on a more ‘legitimate’ job, transportation of exotic creatures to be brought to rich collector’s private museum. There were a group of cute little rodent creatures, while in a separate area kept sealed away were four rare beings capable of disguising themselves as a variety of objects, but unbeknown to the crew, or those soon to capture this ship. This sealed container had formed a crack.

4. Repairs #SST25
4. Repairs The ship docks aboard the Forge of Arcanum space station were well designed to make it as easy as possible to make repairs, and even featured a crew of autognomes able to make repairs at any time. The Council of Arcanum’s flagship had returned to dock an hour ago and already the three mechanical gnomes had already gotten to work, hanging from harnesses connected to moveable gantries they worked to repair the small holes and scorch marks within the armour plating and to the flagship’s hull. While these autognome mechanics were constructs rather than living people, they did have a small amount of sentience, all of them enjoying their work and feeling a sense of pride at getting the repairs done. They worked for several hours, patching up the worst of the damage, while the repairs weren’t complete, the flagship would be usable in an emergency. Still, when the trio went into rest mode, they were confident that the next day of repairs would have everything working properly. Alas, the trio were not awakened from their rest mode the next day, nor the day after. The council had fled the forge, fearing it’s discovery they went deep underground back on their homeworld, with the mechanic trio remaining dormant for hundreds of years, until one fateful day that a group of adventurers would awaken them once again.

3. Fighter #SST25
3. Fighter A single-person fighter craft, the first of it’s kind, internally it was no larger than a canoe, but with a lightweight frame and a thin layer of armour this thing could really move. Now it was being flown for the first time. The pilot flew behind their allied ship as they moved to intercept the pirate craft they were approaching, as they moved side by side, the pilot pulled back, using their ally to hide behind as they flew underneath and to the other side, doing a loop so that they could quickly position and take a few shots as the pirates were distracted on the other side. The forceful blasts striking true on several of the pirates, taking some out or throwing them to the deck before aiming lower and firing an explosive missile into the starboard side of the pirate ship. As the blast cleared, a large hole was revealed, the surprising decompression sucking many of the pirate crew out into space. Satisfied, the pilot dropped down and out of site, flying back under the pair of ships before docking on the allied ship, their work done, as they went to assist the rest of the crew defeating the remaining pirates.

2. Guns, Guns, Guns! #SST25
I struggled a little with this one, trying to stay on topic rather than write pages and pages about the weapons' owners and their background is tough
2. Guns, Guns, Guns! Guns, or the modern form of firearms as we know them, didn’t really exist during the time of the Council of Arcanum, sure there were arcane cannons and more traditional methods of launching projectiles at your enemies, but this was at least 800 years before a certain young lord would craft the first actual gun, forged in the name of vengeance. The adventurers came up to the space station from the planet below, a group of equals hell bent on stopping a most villainous plan. Among them they wielded a collection of customised weapons, the Lord’s daughter wielding a beautifully crafted rifle custom made for her by her father, built for her to empower it with divine energy. The soldier, wielding his standard issue 4-barrel revolver, it shows signs of use but is kept well maintained, but along this he also wields a custom lever action rifle, handmade in the weeks after recovering from surgery he wields this looking for justice, and to protect his allies. Yet in the palm of his artificial right hand lies another, a tiny concealed one shot pistol, perfect to surprise an enemy.

1. Launch #SST25
Just going to do these as a few paragraphs, posted as an image with the full text in the Alt text, so, without further ado:
1.Launch The archmages of the Council of Arcanum had finally set their plans in motion, enough of the Forge’s construction had been completed for them to move it to a hidden pocket of the Astral Sea, and now it was time for them to fly up in a ship and join them. It’d been a nerve racking morning, doing final checks on the spaceship, a modified skyship featuring an air bubble generator and magical technology to give it artificial gravity once they reach space. Casting off the moorings, the council all boarded, as the captain gently nudged the throttle controlling the crystalline engines easing the ship out of the dock and into the sky. As it rose, one of the councilmembers engaged the air bubble, surrounding the ship in an almost see-through bubble as the outside air thinned as the ship approached space. A few more nervous minutes passed as the ship continued to climb, until the sky ceased to be visible, revealing the cosmos beyond.
