Just as Ves continued to listen to one depressing news report after another, a sudden event shook apart the despondency that had overtaken the galactic net.
"The Yernstall Central Star Node has broken out of the greater spacetime bubble!"
Although it took a little longer than expected for the humans trapped inside the powerful bubble that not only cut them off form the rest of the cosmos, but also caused the passage of time to slow to a crawl, the aliens ultimately failed to cut off the Sapphire of the Red Ocean.
The fact that the people stationed in Yernstall managed to dispel the effect so soon meant that they had probably defeated all of the ancient phase whales and other nefarious alien arrangements in less than two hours!
The speed was so impressive that whoever or whatever was assigned to defend Yernstall from the predations of the Red Cabal possessed absolute superiority in combat.
