Snippet #1683066

For a long while, Mark sat alongside Merceigh in silence, enjoying the company, for a change. After all, the two of them had been on the move for a large portion of the past week or so, fighting for their lives on a daily basis. It felt good, to him, to be sitting in one place, for a time. Mark closes his eyes for a moment, a smile upon his lips as he speaks. "Shiela.. open port-side viewing glass, please."
"Affirmative. Opening port-side viewing glass.."
A loud click and a series of whirs would sound from somewhere behind the wall opposite the closets(where the bed sat). Within a few moments, a dark line could be seen splitting across the wall as half of it seems to rise up to meet the ceiling, while the second half fell through the floor, to reveal a wondrous sight..

Laid out before them was the planet, Terra, now little more than a sphere of blue and green. Looking close enough, it's many oceans could be seen, white clouds floating high above the surface, giving the planet a textured look to it. Behind Terra, stars by the billions line the vastness of space that now envelopes them. Far off in the distance, some hundred light-years away, a small sluster of solar flares could be seen; brilliant specs of light that splayed out across the galaxy. It was all so surreal. So beautiful. The planet seems to get smaller as The Resonance continues on it's path out of the system, still awaiting Mark's command to make the transition to Slipspace. "I've always loved the vastness of space.. it really.. really puts perspective on things."
