It had been months since I saw my parents. Traveling through the stars left so little time to retreat to the safe embrace of family. I had learned so much from the universe, and so much of it could be shared.
The view of the stars was remarkable near the Unstaire Lily Wayhall, brilliant purples and blues from the local nebula refracted beautifully amidst the icy clouds. I saw the familiar sight of the Wayhall break through the nebulous formation. A brilliant silver sheen blinded me for a moment as the sun passed behind us.
It was not until the sun crested entirely behind our Wayship that I saw the gunmetal construct they had laid over the Wayhall gate.
I was confused for a brief moment, and if summoned by my internal thoughts, an announcement piped through our speakers.
"Captain Veluna speaking, it appears the Unstaire Lily system has been placed under quarantine. We will have to take a detour, to anyone stopping at the Unstaire Lily system, please report to a nearby crew member."
I stared at the Quarantine Station in disbelief, I could see the glint of its array of guns, all trained on our vessel. Whatever had happened to my family, I just hope they got out.
