Flow

The journey immediately went back to the endless and boundless stream of dark canvas that barely differed from each other. That was unavoidable since the universe was mostly empty, and the distant stars couldn't provide any decent diversion from that seemingly eternal black scenery.

Nevertheless, the dullness from the previous part of the journey never returned. Khan couldn't feel bored watching the unchanging empty scene past the canopy anymore. He sensed his destination growing close by the day, and his cold excitement inevitably intensified, fending off any other emotion.

Of course, that feeling only existed inside Khan's mind. Only he saw the path he was crossing and the shortening distance from the danger zone. His ship had no such landmark, limiting itself to mapping that side of the universe and accumulating data.
