Lament for the Hyekna Du

Lament for the Hyekna Du

The Hyekna Du was a glimmering Split transport shuttling passengers fair;
Her bulkheads shined clean, and her crew was quite lean,
Her captain alert and aware.

Headed for Argon Prime, she was making good time, when a thousand stars twinkled before her.
Just short of West Gate, she'd soon meet her fate
as the void unleashed violet horror.

Old Captain Gi sighed as his passengers' cried; a chorus of panic and fear.
He called to his crew and said to the few
"Mates, we've got a small problem here."

"In all my years spacing," Gi said with a rasp, "I've never seen their like before."
"They're fierce and they're smart, with hate in their hearts"
"And already killed seven score"

"You're a fine crew, and a pleasure it's been, to serve with the likes of you"
"Now go strap in, 'fore we enter this din"
"And may Gunne's grace see us through."

Gi throttled her up with all she could give; one minute more and they'd possibly live.
But her hot engine fire, brought quick the Khaak ire
as down swept the M3 and M5's.

The cabin filled with screams as the kyron beams sliced through her hull with graceful ease
Then one touched her core, and the ship was no more
And four and twenty met peace.

The passengers and crew of the Hyekna Du, now robbed from family and friends,
were lost to space and found their place
with the mourned at President's End.
