Jake Carter looked out and stared at the spectacle in front of him. The wormhole was no longer blue and the other two holes had disappeared. We made it, he thought.

Epilogue

The Kronan witnessed the closure of the wormhole from his ship. The cruiser cloaked and escaped from the Kryl mother ship seconds before the PBA smashed into her and destroyed his fleet. The Kronan was strong and wise. The blue wormhole only slept. One day soon, it would open again and the Kryl fleet would enter this galaxy and join him. Until then he would wait. He was in no hurry.

In the center of the fissure, a small blue gaseous cloud grew. The subspace charge fell short of the center of the wormhole and exploded in the corona above. The closure of the wormhole was only temporary. Already the gaseous cloud consumed everything in its path.
