Another supernova, in the Pakhshi system this time. A massive star collapsed.

A supernova briefly outshines an entire galaxy. The extremely luminous burst of radiation expels much or all of a star's material at great velocity, driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar medium. Supernovae play a significant role in enriching the interstellar medium with higher mass elements. Furthermore, the expanding shock waves from supernova explosions can trigger the formation of new stars.

I had only recently discovered this star. I admired his spectrum, and I will miss it.

I feel the shockwave, but I am grateful for his luminosity, which is present still.
And I see the interstellar medium being enriched.
And I see the formation of new stars.

You bugger! I read this literally, initially, and started panicking about how I was going to evacuate in the time it took the blast to travel from the system primary.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I must agree with Pieter. This initially surprised me, made me hope that my Colleagues were alright, and think of what effect this would have on the Conference.

I suppose that is much like what I felt like when the Supernova you truly spoke of happened, just without the weeping.

I like this very much.

Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given."

It is rare that I agree with Leopold here.

Oh, I know. So few people outside the State truly understand the nuances of a Splinterz or Mind Clash match.
