At Typhon

At Typhon

At Typhon we met the Kraken
Green mists cleared to vacuum
A swarm of M'kkiae mites
Drones and beams and micron shells
Lit the empty void
The great round monster hung far back
Long whiskers of great cannons
Tracked us through black skies
Angry missiles pierced our hulls
Leaving naught but light

At Typhon we met the Kraken
Great ships burned and died
Fiery shells pierced frail bodies
Screams lost over the static
Blood boiled away in space
Those eyes that can still see
Will not forget that day

-Lt. Carmen Ramirez, KIA Battle of M’kkia, 6 October 2262.
