Beautifully done! I love the fractal explosion and change in viewpoint.

That is a sweet photo, but what is it?

Trée said...

Question Man, it is an Arc'teryx vessel exploding in space under the direct attack of two Vollmonds (Kulmyk long-range interceptors). Kyra and crew were being held captive on board this vessel when the attack occurred.

Trée said...

Keshi, miss you too and I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Steve Irwin. He was a special one.

See my answer to Question Man my dear sweet angel for an answer to your query. Thanks for stopping by.

Trée said...

Thanks Jenni. I almost added one more line about how this was the last thing Mairi saw before her pod hit the atmosphere but thought the better of it. I did like the idea that this reflection might have been caught in Mairi's eyes just after it was seen in Kyra's. Would have been a nice cut-away to end the episode until next season. :-D

Trée said...

Deb, there is always a twist. :-D

Because I know the twist it seems obvious in my mind and I'm tempted to tell you what it is--oh what the hell, we all know the crew survives. Spoiler below. Stop reading if you don't want to know what happenes next.

Okay, Von was unable to get the bay doors open. Bravo-Four-Zero looked like it would be the crew's tomb as the Vollmond's came in for their final attack run. Somehow, because I'm writing the story of course--LMAO, somehow, the final explosion caused just the right break in the hull that allowed B-4-0 to escape pretty much intact. The very thing that should have killed them actually sets them free. So there you have it. :-)

Trée said...

Don't hurt yourself Karen. :-)

Vickie said...

tsduff said...

Ah, the story continues.. post side... get it? tee hee - slap me I'm not handling "back to work after a nice holiday" very well...

That picture is the best. Like a huge electric umbilical cord of power.... or something. Happy Tuesday T.

Trée said...

I'm on it Ms Vickie! :-D

Trée said...

Terry, that is a great description of this image. Wish I had thought of it first. :-D Lots of little tidbits in the comments all through this story, but then you already knew that; and that doesn't even count what happens on Trebuchet. :-)

Same here. Today has been less than graceful at work.

TotalChaos said...

Cracklin' good show.

Trée said...

DJB, glad to see you enjoying the show. :-)

Karen said...

Don't worry about me, I'm used to falling LOL I'm a A1 klutz ;-)

Trée said...

Jack says he has no problem with you lying down. In fact . . . well, we'll leave that for the next slumber party. :-D

Keshi said...

Steve's death has left me shocked and grieving for good. Guys u have no idea.

Keshi.
