"The Abyss—this starship was once used to... explore the Abyss Gate!"
Sandora's expression was grave, her words decisive.
Perhaps the news was simply too shocking. For a moment, I failed to react and merely gave an instinctive "Oh."

"That is the only possibility," Tawell said as she rapidly operated the Holographic Projection, dividing the scan of the shipwreck on display into several sections and continuously magnifying them until every detail was perfectly clear. "As a medium-sized starship, it possesses far too many unnecessary defensive systems, and nearly all of them were designed against supra-conceptual damage. So-called supra-conceptual damage refers to attacks that transcend tangible forms of harm such as matter or energy, damaging their targets through intangible forces.
