"What's a Void Shift?"
One of the team members asked out loud, his voice laced with uncertainty and fear.
The mantis team leader looks at his team. Under his visor, his expression was twisted. His emotions were clearly agitated, though, and he couldn't hide it because his barely exposed mandibles were audibly clacking.
He knew he couldn't escape their scrutiny. He also knew that he couldn't just change the topic. They deserve an explanation, so he could only sigh in relent.
"The Void Shift... think of it as something akin to a climate transition, in some way."
"You all know that the Void is a nonsensical place. Everything we know about it barely scratches the surface even after studying it for thousands of years. The reason behind that is the Void Shift."
