"PKG-00567, as the military has designated it, is an extremely large mass on the other side of the solar systems sun. Only recently descovered to the mathmaticien Brian Eluis, the US government has put out a call to all its advanced space pilots. The first one to reach it an claim it for the United States will be awarded 50 millions dollers. Of corse, this being new terrirtory and never been visited, anyone who could get to the mass could claim it as their own, as long as they could defend it."
Diamond turned the radio off. It would be interesting to see what it was, but she had no use for the money, nor would she claim it for the rich and corrupt united states if she felt like doing so. She teleported herself up to her ship in orbit, then had to momentarily resist throwing up. She never got used to the lack of gravity in space. She was only happy under acceleration, still, it wasn't hard to maneuver with telekinesis. She went through her pre flight sequence, then brough the main fusion drives online. It took her a few moment to get out of orbit and into a proper tragectory towards the sun, but she finally got into position and enguaged the warp drive, speeding in seconds across the system and around behind the sun.
Where she was quite surprised to find a Disen Sphere. She'd read about the before, huge sphere's with livable atmosphere's inside. At the center they contained a small star, providing the light and warmth needed to survive. Though special shielding so the occupants weren't killed of corse. It didn't seem to be active, but Diamond cursed and rethought that assumption as a warning shot was fired across her bow. Several drones were launching from the sphere. "Fuck!" She screamed in frustration, punched the drives to full power and brought her weapons online. A starburst of charged helium energy shot out of one of her cannons, and completely destroyed one of the fighters. But their were still many more. She tried to curse, but couldn't move her jaw under the acceleration. She reached out with her mind, and slammed one of the drone into another, sending them both careening of corse, badly damaged. "Oh hell, why did I have to get curious?" She grunted out.
