The Boötes Void

Fight your way out of the grid into the Boötes Void

We were somewhere around the Hercules Cluster, on the edge of the Void, when the drugs began to take hold. Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and space was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the ship, and a voice was screaming: Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?
