Sunlight twinkled shimmering patterns over the metal carapace of the ship as it shuddered from the power of it's engines firing. Streams of multicoloured energy trailed behind it as it curled a slow, almost lazy, arc around the edge of the moon. No sound at all in the void around it, just cold silence as the ship held it's orbit.
Deep inside the ship, floating in a giant metal egg of ionized fluid the pilot twitched, something on the ships sensors wasn't quite right and the feedback was making his fingers and toes nervous.
The engines flickered, energy sparkling from them fading into a faint glow as the ship reached it's cruising speed.
Artifical eyes reached out to the blackness around the ship; watching, searching as it continued on it's way towards the station.
