…Silence.
Absolute, suffocating silence pressed against Finn's eardrums like it was the loudest noise.
The world disappeared. Visibility dropped to an arm's length, if that. Thick white fog pressed in from all directions, so dense it felt almost solid.
Finn couldn't see the deck beneath his feet, nor could he see the navigation station he was still gripping. He could barely even see his own hands when he held them up before his face. The wood, the metal, the instruments… everything had vanished into white.
The ship had stopped accelerating. In fact, Finn couldn't tell if they were moving at all. There was no sensation of motion any longer. And the Tidebreaker had gone completely and utterly silent.
Only the sound of silent breathing could be heard. Everyone was trying to be as still as possible, but in this deafening silence each inhale and exhale sounded like thunder.
"Everyone listen to me!"
Vara's voice suddenly cut through the stillness, surprisingly steady and firm.
