[WP] & [MP] Prior to their death, everyone receives a two-minute warning. |
There is a faint buzzing in my ear, it culminates in that feeling of dread, the one that keeps you from getting on the train, or stops you from crossing the street as a car careens through the intersection.

I looked up from my coffee to spot a graying, amiable-faced man smiling at me from across the doorway. The sunrise passing through the cafe window partly obscured my vision, but nevertheless I recognized the moderate crop, the black turtleneck, the soft, large hands immediately.

[WP] The first faster-than-light spacecraft disappears upon activating the FTL drive. 1200 years later, having traveled at relativistic speeds, it reappears. | The dangers of FTL were numerous, even with technology so far advanced, I remember sitting in my physics class hearing a lecture on the first ship to attempt FTL speed and how it simply vanished.
