ALIEN ARMADA

Equipped with new information, I decide to make another attempt at finding the alien armada in the mystery. I go to the cabin that Summer and I have used when we stay down overnight. I put up a do not disturb sign, lock the door, then lie down on the bed. Moments later, I’m away.

...

It only takes a few seconds to find Nillsterdam again. I cautiously extend my mind further out and sense the darkness. I move toward it at a painfully slow pace. With a little practice and a lot of discipline, I figure out how to take in the whole scene without allowing myself to get sucked into the darkest spots. Slowly, I distinguish a line of black splotches extending out to the limit of my perception.

I start moving at an angle to the line of splotches, eventually moving far enough to see the normal blackness of space between the even blacker splotches. There are a lot of them. I move further down the line, trying to keep count. I know my count isn’t particularly accurate, some of the blotches are distracting, but I count 157 of them. Near the end of the line, the alien armada begins stretching out beyond my ability to see. There are too many for me to count without Summer’s help, but it seems consistent with the 20 ships per star-killer that I would expect.

I’m tempted to try reaching out to one of their captains. I toy with the idea for a while, then decide not. The risk of getting stuck seems too high. Instead, I head back, an idea, or at least a tactic, starting to form.
