Snippet #2599514

As soon as Beatrice heard the voice she tossed the limp body of Graves on the floor, and bolted towards the control room. She was in transit when she felt the impact of whatever had collided with the moon, something so big it had split the Realta Nua in two. She quickly escaped out of the hatch of the elevator before it dropped into water that was quickly rising below her. She started to climb the metal structure trying to escape the coming waters, but her efforts were in vain. She soon was taken by the crushing force of the waters and tossed around like a rag doll as the ship started to slowly sink into the ocean. In one last attempt Beatrice pulled out her sound cannon, maximized the power output level, and started frantically shooting at the walls of the ship. They were shredded like paper form the destructive force of the weapon she had opened an entrance to the captains quarters hallway, and began frantically swimming to the hatch. Once inside, the water was drained from the room. Beatrice fell to her knees and gasped for air as the door unlocked to an undamaged control console, she ran to the computer, and began frantically flipping various switches and typing in different command codes. After a brief moment of excruciating time, the prompt came up on the screen and Beatrice collapsed to the floor in relief. The portion of the ship containing various arms and the hyper-drive were saved thanks to her efforts. Underwater, the broken wreckage of the frontal portion of the ship released a small fragment of itself as the the gigantic husk fell into the abyss below.

The remainder of the ship shoots out from under the water, and flies towards safety away from the collision sight. With Beatrice, and the now revived sentinel aboard it.
