PANEL 1: A NYX alien, a rhino-like creature with a pointed crest and a single horn on it’s nose, works on a piece of machinery. LOCATION: Du Fu NARRATION: The Nyxian understanding of “love” is vastly complicated. It is a multi-layered, nested conceit. PANEL 2: The NYX working on machinery pulls down welding goggles to block the bright white light of his welder. NARRATION: Philosophers, philologists, and cognitive linguists have spent decades trying to decode it. PANEL 3: The NYX welding is now in the background, as another NYX carries an armful of corded plugs. His eyes are furrowed and serious. NARRATION: Much like the Nyx themselves, it remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. PANEL 4: The NYX carrying the corded plugs walks out a doorway, eyes furrowed. NARRATION: But the fundamental truth is this: the Nyx had come to genuinely, whole-heartedly LOVE Governor Sebastián. THE LOVED HIM. PANEL 5: We see the NYX carrying the corded plugs walk towards a window where another NYX points at what we see. Outside the window, looking in to space, hover 3 large new rings ships, in various forms of completion. These ships looks a little fish-like, with fins jutting out the top and bottom, with aztec-like architecture. Large rings stick out the end of the ship, connected by triangular architecture. Attached to the side are large dark cannons. NARRATION: And as we all know: LOVE IS THE GREATEST MOTIVATOR …. when building a fleet of revenge starships. ——— Want to read the full story?
