We left the dead star behind once Steve and North completed their rank ups. Neither of them rushed to manifest their law constructs yet. Both had decided to stabilize first, deepen their comprehension, let the new foundations settle before locking anything permanent into existence. It was a smart decision. Domains shaped too early had a way of limiting future growth.
Our ship adjusted its course and accelerated, slipping back into the deep void. On the star map projected before me, a marker pulsed steadily. Another Grade 4 Rift. Not one on the fringes of the Blue Spiral Galaxy, but closer to the center. Sector Zero territory.
Before getting involved in the politics of Blue Spiral Galaxy, I wanted to close a rift cleanly. Publicly. Decisively.
