As the ship clears the bay, the exterior sounds become eerily quiet, except for the engines, which still channel through the framework of the ship. As you look out the wide window of your gunnery pod, you see The Gravity Ring lurking ahead. Its pull grows stronger as the ship grows nearer. As speeds accumulate, you begin to see the distortion effect at the center of the ring as star light becomes warped by the gravity's pulling force. Before you know it, the ship enters the ring's center and is thrust out the other side at blinding speeds. The visual universe becomes almost a negative effect of the norm. Space itself looks almost white with specks of black moving at break neck speed more than a flash of stars passing by. Within seconds, the ship begins to decelerate by applying full reverse thrust with the two main engines. The look of space returns to its usual pitch black look almost immediately.

Except, for that unusual shiny, semi-transparent glow that engulfs the view in front of the ship's bow. As the ship comes to a complete stop, the communication's screen displays the captain's face as he gives the order to fire the plasma bolt. Its large firing button is flashing a bright green upon the display counsel. You press it. Your HUD sights shine upon the window of your gunnery pod as a ball of energy forms on the bow of the ship in front of you. You aim at the shine phenomenon in front of you. And fire. A second later, it launches. Then, it impacts with the field in an explosive blast effect, tearing a gaping hole in the fabric of the shielding of the pirate's blockade. More then wide enough to allow the ship to pass through.
