“Command revised their courses of action once the space ports were destroyed,” Lois said. “Destroyed?” Smythe asked. “Who did it?”
Armed troops in helmets and tactical gear advance across a cracked, wet spaceport apron under a rusty orange sky. In the foreground one soldier fires a rifle, muzzle flash bright. Behind them a wrecked shuttle lies on its belly, hull torn open. A second craft hangs or taxis in the haze beyond, with industrial towers and gantries rising through the fog. Dead brush sits at the left edge. The image is a square photograph with an aged cream border.
