Alex became slightly worried about where they had come to. For something to be able to destroy the ship they were on, it had to be durable and thus dangerous.
With them mostly facing the sun, they couldn't exactly see what was ahead of them. But since they had come to a cruising speed, they could look out from the edge of the ship. Alex and the rest quickly walked to the deck and looked down, away from the sun.
Scanning the emptiness with their eyes, they could not see anything at all. For hundreds and thousands of miles, there was nothing in sight. Then, they slowly looked around, until they saw something toward the bow of the ship, glinting sunlight around its edge, giving it a rough shape, though they still couldn't tell what it was.
The object was drifting in their direction, and from the looks of it, it would pass them by quite closely. Sunflare was already moving the ship away from it.
