It was strange to watch a star erupt into a supernova. The brilliant colors cascading, consuming the heavens with its magnificence. The small light, like a hole in the void, vanished for one moment. Jrax'eer held his breath as it winked back into existence. It shined a vibrant white as the iridescent clouds of gas swirled in chaotic harmony. A purple tinge began outlining the very ends of the beautiful form, then blue, and then green. Like an ocean of annihilation, its waves crested destroying anything and everything in it's wake.<br/><br/>"Absolutely remarkable." Jrax'eer's voice came out to no one in particular.<br/><br/>"It is a rare thing indeed captain. A living being should consider themselves lucky to see something of this magnitude." Trevi responded in a low robotic voice.<br/><br/>The explosion reached its pinnacle, filling the viewport with a coalescence of color and dust. It was entrancing, dimming the light of every celestial body within sight. "Trevi, are we in danger of its radiation?"<br/><br/>"We are approximately 3.2 light-years beyond the maximum safe distance. We are in no immediate danger, though we might feel a small amount of turbulence due to the shockwave."<br/><br/>"Thank you Trevi." Jrax'eer said as he began sketching the supernova. His hand was slow and steady as he drew the intricate details of the vision.<br/><br/>As he sketched, his mind wandered into the memories of the past week. It was easier than he would have thought to adjust to having Ama on board. It was also nice to have someone to sleep next to. They tried to sleep at separate times at first, and then they tried sleeping in different areas, but no matter what they tried Ama always ended up next to him. Finally, they conceded to sleeping in the same bed together. They both relished in the comfort they found in one another's arms.<br/><br/>Ama spent a lot of her time studying his equipment, the ins and outs of Drakolexian tech, and going over the biological data. She was consumed with making proper comparisons for proper scientific research or some such, Jrax'eer was far from a scientist and did not care much for the field short of what helped he and the ones he cared for survive. Jrax had drawn a picture of her working, capturing her beauty. Her face was held in an expression of firm focus and determination as she stood with a vial in hand. She had not even noticed he was there until he was nearly done, just adding in the last shades of pink into her vibrant hair. Ama even managed to form a working relationship with Trevi, which was impressive to say the least. Jrax had never seen a VI become as confused as it did when she tried explaining the concept of her  people's, the Elorion's, technology. Conversation of many varieties came up; from their childhood, to the things that they had done with their lives, all the way to their hopes and dreams. It was indeed strange, this feeling of… He wasn't sure what to call it. Was it possible that he was finding love in his heart for this woman from across the galaxy?<br/><br/>"Captain." Trevi crackled, a strangely somber tone in his voice.<br/><br/>Jrax looked up from what he was doing. "Is something wrong."<br/><br/>"I just wished to say that your portrait is very lifelike. You've captured the universal phenomenon quite well."<br/><br/>The cockpit chair creaked slightly as Jrax leaned forward. "Trevi… Are you malfunctioning."<br/><br/>There was a moderate pause as Trevi processed the question followed by a diagnostics check. "Hmmm. No more than usual captain. Do you remember that I am not a fleshling and do not suffer from the mental deterioration that you will soon succumb to?"<br/><br/>Jrax'eer sighed."Well I guess you're fine then."<br/><br/>"Captain, your prospective mate is beginning to show odd signs of distress. Her brainwaves register that she is sound asleep, but her physiological levels are increasing." Trevi paused a moment. "Shall I terminate?" An edge of his usual sarcasm creeped into his voice.<br/><br/>"No. Thank you for letting me know." Jrax said, removing himself from the cockpit chair and making his way to her. "I will go and make sure that she is all right."<br/><br/>As he dismounted the ladder, a scream echoed through the ship. "Jrax!" He heard Ama's voice call for him and his feet carried him with swift determination.<br/><br/>Green scales burst forth from his skin coating his entire body and his claws shot from his fingers. Jrax'eer was prepared for whatever danger was waiting for him and he would make sure nothing hurt Ama. The door to the captain's quarters slid open revealing Ama alone and clutching her knees. He retracted what showed of his draconic form and ran to her side. Jrax'eer pulled her into his arms and cradled her close, she wore his shirt and it draped around her thighs.<br/><br/>"Ama." He said trying to draw her from her nightmare. "Ama! I'm right here. Come back to me."
