Fleet Commander Lerian stood at the window of his council room, looking down at the blue planet below the fleet. He watched the swirling clouds glide slowly across the surface. There were areas spreading darkly, appearing as if ink spilled on parchment. The dark gray clouds were growing in size.
Frowning at the spreading dark clouds, he called the bridge to scan the planet for anomalies. "Officer Remmy, scan the planet. Something doesn't look right. Scan it, then report back to me immediately," he ordered.
There was silence for several moments while the officer scanned the planet. The small speaker suddenly crackled, and then Officer Remmy reported in. "Sir, something is happening. There are multiple mountains exploding with fire. The planet is shaking, causing large plates to shift."
