DaElAlTH2's flagship hovers above the murky ocean, an ethereal spectre that quietly disturbs the otherwise tranquil view. Deep in it's hull, battered and bruised, Xeroh lies in torment. Without warning, without premise, Xeroh appears to simply disappear in a blinding flash of light, leaving only a scorch mark with the initials CMD left behind as the only unblackened part of the floor she was on. Before anyone on or off the ship has time to react, a shaft of blinding light penetrates through the hull of DaElAlTH2's ship, from bridge to stern, slicing through the engine room and the power core. The resulting explosion utterly blinds anyone who happens to be facing in the direction of the ship. As the beam expands in diameter and the craft ignites at temperatures well over one million degrees centigrade, Xeroh finds herself on the bridge of a starship of which she has never seen the like of before. It now overlooks the destruction, and as the beam slowly retracts and thins, she sees against the glare a shillouetted figure, gripping something in his right hand, the other clenched behind his back.
Welcome to the Celer Manus Dei, flagship of the Jjarro fleet. I am Dolorous, how may I help you?
