Amid the crew's screams and the alarms from the battleship's scanning array, the atmosphere throughout the vessel abruptly sank into an extraordinarily eerie silence.
An indescribable tension spread wildly.
Like the calm before a volcanic eruption, the retreat before a tsunami—but it all vanished within a single second.
Because the Cogitator was broadcasting the number of enemies that had appeared on the battlefield.
Lion El'Jonson and Lox strode quickly toward the sensors as the Cogitator's voice spread through the ship.
With their naked eyes, they could see a featureless blank region of darkness expanding rapidly from Beta-Garmon III.
