A handful of mirrors across Dendrus IV shifted their reflections back onto Thanatos. There, Godeater peered at the massive void that used to be a ship. It went down every passageway and room, through every module and system, into every weapon and chitin plate, and into the bridge.

Its voice boomed all around and within, and bathed its sweeping darkness ubiquitously across the galaxy.
