The picture on the light beam was rewound to half a minute earlier. After being magnified by ten times, it was somewhat fuzzy.
One could only see four interconnected exhaust flames in the form of helixes that belonged to a carrier that was only one third the size of Red Lightning.
At the beginning, the two starships seemed to be performing the regular docking work. The carrier decelerated at a fixed speed and kept parallel to Red Lightning's route.
But soon, something seemed to be wrong with the power system of the carrier. Its exhaust flames were ten times brighter than before, and it suddenly accelerated!
Red Lightning noticed its abnormality very quickly. A lot of rays of light spurted out and rained upon the carrier.
However, it had missed the best attack range. The carrier had cut inside its defense circle.
