“My companion denies them their final charge.
The missile barrage is turned aside with trivial ease. Spoofed sensor signatures send all four seekers hurtling past the RAIN, chasing IR ghosts they would never catch.
A thirty-millisecond data injection severs the link between ship and crew. The former begins to drift aimlessly once polymorphic viruses seize control over navigation and propulsion; the latter convulse at their stations as toxic visual stimuli burrows into their fragile visual centers. I watch the ship’s red-adorned captain asphyxiate at its post, frill-lined gills twitching from somatic overload.
Instead of firing another missile, the RAIN simply focuses its point-defense lasers onto the cruiser’s reactor compartment. It is a perfunctory gesture. By the time the converging beams cause a reactor breach, everyone aboard the ship has long perished.”
