The bridge of the Bloodcruiser was probably the heaviest room in the giant warship. Not only because it was probably the most protected and sealed room, but because of the weight of vigilance currently filling its space.
Hera, Riley, as well as Xra's 7 main crew, were currently just standing on the bridge, looking at the large window that has shown the same view over and over again since the start. The expanse of space looked the same no matter what, but even for Hera and Riley, whose eyes were untrained to navigate through the empty darkness, there was an obvious change in atmosphere.
