<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I suppose I understand what you mean. Maybe the empty space is what makes us appreciate everything else.

@System

There's more to everything else... Literally, I guess.

*The bubble oh space everyone occupies begins to ripple outward from various places, like dropping pebbles in a pond*

@Nemeses

*Touches one of the ripples*

@Audacious

Very literally, at that.

@Techspert

*You feel your hand shredded at by the force and remains of some sort of projectile that is barely making its way in*

@Nemeses

*Removes all momentum from the object and senses its approximate size*

@System

Ha. I guess it doesn't get more literal.

@Audacious

The scale of outer space is quite impressive, too.

@Techspert

*The remains are roughly the size of the smallest of insects*

@Nemeses

*Sticks my ring finger into the barrier and reinforces it*

@Techspert

*It is unable to pass through to the other side*

@Nemeses

*Strengthens the resilience of the boundary against anything that contacts it*

@Techspert

*Beams fire out from the fleet's largest ship, stopping at the boundary at exactly 8 different points. Slowly, the bubble begins to expand outward*

*Watches*

*Watches*

@Techspert

*The rate of growth picks up in speed, and slowly begins to expand past the point where many of the beings lying in wait beyond its boundaries were. They all remain still, looking in on everyone else*

@Melodious

*Glances between them*

@Techspert

*Ships not visible before suddenly come into view as the barrier takes them in, and after several moments of silence, unleash a massive barrage of green blasts toward the fleet. The individual beings all move in on the fleet and are engaged by other individuals*

@Nemeses

*Stands in front of the beam, corrupting it with a deep purple that spreads back toward its source*

@Dynamics

*The blast, being non-continuous, fails to spread the corruption back to the ship*

*Holds out my hand*

@Techspert

*Appears at the edge of the barrier, surveying the field*

@Nemeses

*Same-colored tendrils burst out and approach the ships*
