⏰ thrill

Slip a ⏰to see a memory or a part of my muses’ past.

The clamps on Krigg's antennae sent a sharp pulse, making the sensitive appendages twitch and inch apart the slighest bit. No sound in the depths of space, only the faint rumble of the scout ship's engines, and the artificial brushes of vibration from the clamps, painting an environnmental picture that her eyes couldn't see. A sharp jerk of the twin control sticks sent the craft on a swerve, barely grazing a small cluster of asteroids. The sensation of moving parts behind her sent a shiver down her spine, an all-obscuring mass practically brushing against the back of her neck sending the clamps into a frenzy of white noise with each smashed asteroid. Auxillary screens in the corners of her vision flashed nightmarish pictures of huge, snapping pincers and a gargantual body advancing in slow undulating motions across the asteroid field, worming its way through like a mighty icebreaker.

But the faint flicker of fear seemed to only fan the flames fluttering inside Krigg's chest, and she gunned her craft's engines, a smirk creeping onto her face, exhilaration obscuring the fear. Obstacles zipped right and left as she slalomed between sluggish asteroids, placing more and more of the field between her and the advancing carrier titan that had little time for subtlety, only crushing power. And yet, in that lay the thing's downfall.

That's the neat thing with Horde organisms. The less of them there are, the stupider they get. And the easier they are to bait.

With one last flick of the scout ship's thrusters sending it wriggling through the last few, tightly clustered rocks of the asteroid fields before she righted her craft's control, and zipped sharply ahead at a sheer angle.

There was no noise in the void. But she would be damned if she didn't feel a vivid rush of satisfaction at the light that reflected off of the stray asteroids surrounding the field. In her rear view screens, the dark shapes of the firing line, barely illuminated by the carnages, provided a subtle backdrop to an explosion of molten rock as a small contingent of the force proceeded fire all cannons towards a small, focused point in the field. The sinewy coils of the carier titan flailed and thrashed, before the light of the artillery finished consuming it, throwing its remains against the wrecked asteroid field.

Krigg felt a cheer erupt from her, legs kicking against the console with a bang as she screamed. "EAT MOLTEN SLAG YOU MANYLIMB FREAK!" Her holler screeched through the crackling communication channels, static-peppered calls and barks echoing the sound.

"Ready to go again, ship 00-626?" Came the crackling of the command ship's channel. Krigg's hand slammed against the command console to un-mute her end of the channel, a wide grin stretched across her face.

"Positive, command. Let me at 'em." She purred, legs kicking in her seat.
