The sudden glimmer of light that appeared at the corner of his vision instantly snapped Gawain to attention.
He immediately focused with every fiber of his being, staring fixedly at that suddenly appearing radiance. As he concentrated, the playback speed of the footage was slowed several times over, and every detail in the image was rendered with crystal clarity. His first reaction was to confirm the source of that light, then he realized it did not come from the surface, but from somewhere near the top of the planetary atmosphere—it seemed to have appeared there out of nowhere, without any warning, without any trajectory, as though an invisible door had opened at the edge of the atmosphere, and then a high-speed entity shot toward the direction of the orbital facility!
After that, the flying object grew larger and larger in Gawain's field of view, and within the hazy radiance a clear silhouette gradually emerged.
