Beacons in The Dark

Chapter 51 - A Shooting Star

"The wasp stings for fun." Neozen koan

Surfaces boiled and tumbled through the hypertunnel; it refused to give way to any one color at any single time, or to even acknowledge the presence or absence of color - it was the swirling, tunneling mass of raw madness beating back sensibility of order into the cramped cave of chaos.

It pushed and whorled through space itself like a sheet of paper bent in half with a hole being punched through it - two different places, an entrance and exit pushed up against itself at the same exact place, with the entirety of the distance between and by it.

The dwarf star had been slowly torn apart , pushed into a wormhole, each magnificent particle of supremely dense energy disappearing into a tear in space. 

The system around the collapsing star had been cleared weeks before, the Technomancer enclaves barely making it out of the radial waves of strange gravity that emanated from the activation of a weaponized Starslinger.

It would of course ruin many travelling lines from fring systems that mantained sparse connection with the outer Trading guilds, the ripple of devestation slowly travelling outwards; disintegrating planets and moons alike, pushing stars out of their orbits for many systems around; dashing up mini and mega blackholes all around.

"A dangerous weapon for a dangerous time." said a voice, soft and low, watching through holo-relay as the last of the ultra dense star finally disappeared.
