Feeding time! Me and my family raced to the mass of energy. Not for many millennia had we seen such a rich food supply. Darting faster than lightning, we swarmed the energy, absorbing all of it.

Even such a powerful source could not satisfy our appetites. But the meal grew our numbers exponentially, many born from the feast. Soon our speed subsided, but a craving deep within me grew.

My insides rumbled. I'm hungry.

My mate swam up next to me. Me too. Follow that ship.
