Prologue

 * Will rename when finished

"Computer, any life-bearing planets here?" Haku was surveying a system for possibly colonizable planets. It was a boring job, but someone had to do it. "No. No planet here have atmospheres compatible with life." Haku sighed. This was the fifth system he had visited today. "Very well. Anything worth noticing?" Haku waited for the computer to say no, but then, to his surprise, the computer said "Yes. There is some form os space anomaly moving through the system. Do you want details?" Haku looked up. Anything to make this job a little less boring was worth it. "Yes, give me details. Anything unusual." The computer responded "This object is moving at over 99 percent the speed of light, has no light signature, no radar signature, no gravity signature, and no reflectivity. It would appear to be a black hole, but it has no gravity." Haku looked up, startled. "Now, that is interesting. Can you take me to it?" The computer seemed to hesitate "Not within this system." It was rare for a computer to say that, the ships were very advanced, few things were beyond them. "Why not?" The computer hesitated again "The object is moving to fast to catch it with an in-system drive. We would have to risk a warp jump within the system, which is far to dangerous to do." Haku thought for a moment. "Determine where this thing's headed, we'll meet it there." The computer worked for a few moments. "The object is headed for the system Kolt, which houses the colonized planet Kalidari. We can arrive there three days ahead of it, if we use the warp within the next 20 minutes." Haku nodded, then said "Ok, take us there!" This boring day job just got ten times better...

When he arrived at Kalidari, Haku told them about the anomaly. Everyone on Kalidari wanted to see it, so they all started looking for it. They found the anomaly swiftly, still headed for them at insanely high speeds. They then decided to track it progress, and predict it's path though the Kolt system. Upon doing so, Haku felt something nagging at him, something big. So he told him computer. "Do you think this 'nagging feeling' could be related to the collision?" Haku was absolutely confused. "What collision?" The computer seemed amused by this "The collision between the anomaly and the planet Klaro." Haku immediately asked what this was about, and the computer showed him a simulation of the anomaly's path and the path of the planet Klaro. They intersected just in front of Kalidari. "Computer, simulate a collision. Assume that the anomaly is made entirly of flurene Fibers." The computer sets up the simulation. As the object hits Klaro, the entire planet is blown apart, destroyed by the force of impact alone. The chunks float right into the path of Kaladari, which is devastated as it passes through them. "Computer, predict chances of getting the entire population of Kaladari off before the impact!" The computer goes through some quick math. "Impossible, sir, Kalidari is to heavily populated to relocate the population on the scale you require. They do not have enough ships, or enough time.''"
