Astra is on her way back to the hive when she receives the urgent call from the commander. She can see the energy wave coming on the instruments in the cockpit.
"Oh stars! Why do such things always happen to me?"
She accelerates the dart.
"I really don't want to fly through space on my own for days again."
The energy wave closes in on her.
"Nonono. You won't get me."
A red alert light flashes on and off contrasting with the green interior light of the dart.
"The hive is powering up its hyperdrive!"
She is desperate but can see the dart bay. The dart bay doors are closing as is protocol for hyperspace flights. The last seconds before the doors are clompletely closed she manages to fly in.
Relieved she lands her dart and beams the 25 people out she had in the dart's storage.
She lets the drones take care of the humans and walks to the bridge.
"Do you know yet what caused that energy wave?" she asks the commander.
