Galactus's World-Ship

[exiles-extras.livejournal.com]

The enormous vessel has entered Earth's solar system - seemingly oblivious to all broadcast entreaties, it inexorably closes the distance to Earth. So insignificant to the ship's master are the beings of Earth that only the most perfunctory of the ship's defenses have been activated.

Spider-Man's eyes are glued to the vidscreen.

"Holy shock. Holy shock."

This thing is titanic. The newness of outer space is left behind at the sight of this monstrosity.

"Holy shock."

She's seen and heard plenty about what transpired on the world of her birth, much of which had so much to do with Galactus. Even so, its hard to prepare for the reality.

"Yeah, that's about as good of words for it as any."

Incredulity is for lesser minds.

Doom's craft begins to settle in, with a blueish glow coming from his optics, referencing the schematics of this massive ship to find the proper location for sliding in to board.

"Steel yourselves."

Sarah braces herself, readying to move for the door quickly once they settle in. "He has a ton of security devices - force fields, blasters, phase shifters... and then there's the Cat around somewhere. Stay really alert, I'll go out first."

"The Cat? I remember him having giant robotic minions, but a cat?"

Starting to lean towards the door in preparation to make sure she gets out before something opens fire on the ship, Sarah nods to Morph. "Yeah, the Cat /is/ a giant robotic minion. Just what we called it, thanks to a comment by the Thing."

"My world, too," Bucky replies. He's watching the ship silently.

He's seen it a few times. It never gets less impressive.

Mystique's unfiltered Camel burns all the way down to her lips while she stares at the screen.

"That's..." Ash falls from her mouth as the remains of the cigarette disintegrate. "A lot of pink."

Shields are up. Spells in effect.

Only a slight hesitation in Doom's hand before he pushes the navigator forward, slipping into a crease between machines, enveloping them in the massive craft.

No sign of Galactus himself. All sensors are on alert for those defenses that these fools are here to deflect.

As soon as the ship slows, Sarah is up and moving for the door, ready to spring out the moment it opens, ready for virtually anything, since that's exactly what she was always taught to anticipate when it came to Galactus.

For the first time in a while, Doom is the least of her concerns.

Raven gives Sarah a look. Being neigh invunerable makes the girl cocky. One of these days, that leap first and look later attitude is going to get her much worse than an arm in a sling.

She hangs back, not stupid enough to be the first out that door. There could be vacuum on the other side. In preperation, her skin thickens, the pores closing completely. A second set of transparent eyelids grow beneath her blue ones. Small membranes close ready to thicken and seal off her nose and earlobes. Contrary to popular belief, she knows how to seal her own mouth closed.

Damnit. Now that she's sealed off, she craves another cigarette.
