The night ship Desod slipped out of the æther and appeared as an absence over the still surface of the Gasfan Sea. The pinprick canopy of stars, faithfully reflected in the water, obscured the ship until it fell as a black shroud over a distant nebula, which revealed an oblique silhouette that seemed to merge with its rising reflection, obliterating the border between sea and stars.

I really enjoyed reading your comments interspersed between the narratives. Also, more Oth.
