On the Edge of Destiny

"The entire fleet will be after us for what we did to Affrit. Let's get out of here!" you say.

"I agree Captain," Andrews says nervously. "I feel kind of bad, too. I mean, didnt we just kill all those innocent people?"

"They deserved what they got," Hiro says, suddenly turning grim. "They sold out to the geefs and betrayed humanity's dreams! They were no more than bleating sheep led to the slaughter. Who cares what they say about us! With this weapon, we can finally avenge the victims of our war. We can even restore the Human Empire!"

"You're nuts!" Andrews says. "Every fleet in the universe is going to be after our hides! We can't fight 'em all, and even refueling may be a problem if we're wanted men! And women, of course."

"I really think we should be getting out of here, first and foremost," you say, watching on the viewscreen as hyperspace opens up to spew out another daikon radish shaped ship, three giant insectoid bio-battleships and a long, slender cruiser shaped of humming crystals.

"Damn!" Andrews exclaims. "It's the rest of the battle formation!"

"Let's smite them!" Hiro says, the air around him suddenly swirling with emanating heat. "Use the Ultimate Weapon!"

"Yeah!" Zora beams. "Helmsman, target the front Qrzark battleship and fire at will!"

1. The Destiny fires again, obliterating the lead bio-battleship and the one directly behind it.
2. The Destiny does not fire! "Blimey! It must need time to reload!" Zora says.
3. The very dimensions of space suddenly seem to pulsate through your body, and you find yourself able to predict the outcome of any battle with precise mathematical certainty.
4. A small fleet of the Rebellion comes to the aid of the Dodo Bird Hunter.
5. A catastrophic blood-red glow that fills half of the viewscreen signals the rebirth of the Angle Gods of Shub-Niggaruth, six parsecs away.
