suspense

The Triskelion species have journeyed far across their spiral arm of the Milky Way and learned much, but sometimes encounters are so alien that all plans tumble pell-mell. Then we are reduced to our primal selves unable to escape the face of the truly alien. We tremble and hope they pass us by in the abyssal deeps of space, that such encounters forever remain both remote and mercifully brief. A cosmos away from the Triskelion universe, you and I may safely listen.

As a species, we rakal are in a sociological box canyon. If Thoora and I are successful, our posterity, you, will birth a new rakalian congregation that hearkens to the age of blood to leap forward to lead future generations of rakal among the stars.

Action

The war buzzer sounded and would continue to sound in my skull for 10 seconds, creating a full autonomic fight splurge from my endocrines.
